I removed the dealer sticker from the inside of my car after it was in situ for 15 years. In normal circumstances, it is invisible, but on a cold morning, you can see 'ghosting' of where the sticker was located. I've tried all sorts of glass cleaner, and WD40, and paint remover (!), all to no...

Owners manual supplied with my 2001 C240 (no longer owned) Not mint, but all pages intact and very useful to work out those 'mercedes' foibles of operating the minutia of the car! Just looking £2 (via PayPal) to cover postage...

I know it's a long shot, but loads of you will have upgraded to SkyQ. If so, do you still have an old RF IO Triax amplifier with power supply stuck in a drawer needing a new home? Bad money paid LOL https://www.alltrade.co.uk/shop/triax-io-link-2-way-rf-out-replicator

There are numerous threads on 'how to' restore MB headlight units, indeed when I had my C240, had to do the same thing with it. However, I have recently acquired a 15 year old Ford Focus, and its headlights are both crystal clear. Not unusual as it appears not to be such an issue with this...

I have recently had occasion to scrap my beloved C240. The engine still pulled like a train, was silky smooth and so powerful. The suspension was tight, being comfortable, yet tight in cornering, and the brakes were very sharp, stopping securely. However, the car was simply plagued by electrical...

Well, after a years troublesome motoring, she's now off to that great scrapyard in the sky! I pampered her relentlessly, foolishly spending probably more than twice what she was worth, each time thinking, "well, at least she'll be sorted now", but she never was. Every week she had another...

Am looking at a specific 2004 model as per title. Car seems sound, everything works as it should. Engine pulls well and gear changes smoothly. I've read some reviews saying that you shouldn't touch pre facelift models (before 2006) because, well, everything really! Just a bit of scaremongering...

In the last 10 days, I have looked at 2 potential cars (a 2008 E220 CDi, and a 2002 S class). Both cars have no working Air Con. Both (I was told!), just need a recharge. Now, in my decades of pottering with cars, they never 'just' need a recharge, that gas escaped somehow, and it's never cheap...

On starting the car this morning, I got a warning message about error on 'stop lights', turns out my brake lights are now permanently on. Any pointers to possible cause?

This morning, the red LED on the Econ button remained on, no matter how many times it was pressed. On phoning my local indie, they advised that the likeliest cause was that it needed re-gassed as this was an indicator that the A/C had shut down, which it does on running out of gas to protect the...

Hi, I am after a Maypole 7423 battery charger 'fly lead'. I already have one hooked up permanently to the Merc, but want another for a second car. Maypole don't sell them (!!), so if you have one sitting in the box not being used, I'd love to hear from you...

On driving home today I wanted to warn a driver of my presence as he was pulling carelessly into my lane, and to my irritation, pressing the horn did nothing! When I got home I studied the 'fuse location' schematics that I had over & over again, just could not find the 'horn', so I went through...

I very rarely turn my head at any MB alloys, most I find bland and boring of design. However, I spotted these on a recent holiday and thought they were gorgeous! Of course, they could be aftermarket ones, but they looked so solid and so right that I assume they are proper MB ones. Anyone know...

2001, W203 C240 - How do I access the inbuilt volt meter on the dash? On YouTube videos I've seen, you press the reset button 3 times, but it does nothing on my car no matter what position the key is in. I also can find no mention of it in the handbook. Any suggestions?

Our downstairs toilet has a single fitment of an R63 spotlight. Works perfectly for 25 years, but today I decided to upgrade to an LED bulb. On screwing it in (when switched off!), it immediately lights up but very dim, kinda like a 20w bulb, but when you switch it on, it lights as expected...

Yesterday, 4 days after a very expensive service involving the addition of new brake discs, pads, one caliper etc etc, I was driving through town when a very scary 'ESP' warning message appeared on the dash board telling me to drive to a workshop. Immediately, the car felt like it had a slipping...

My mum presented me with one of those charity quiz sheets today, and I have now got every answer bar one! The answers are all 'sweets'. Anyone here brainy enough to work this one out? Clues is No.15 "Tea, moss or musk"
