    Gearbox help

    I have just put my Sprinter 312 back on the road. The old gearbox was crunching in to gear and felt very loose. I bought another box from flee bay, which was supposed to be only with 46000 miles on it. This box is doing the same! Somebody told me it may be the selectors but Im no...

    1994 E320 wide arch

    Does anybody have an opinion on the NSV prestige website or know anything about them? I have an E320 estate and wish to wide arch the body. They do all the parts, I think E7 kit. It all seems quite nice but I'm not sure of quality. I don't want any rubbish fibre glass wings and am quite...

    Sprinter 312 gearbox same as VW LT 2.8?

    I have a four wheel drive 312 Sprinter on a W plate and the gears are sloppy and crunchy, keeps going into reverse instead of second too! :eek: I would like to replace it or get it reconditioned. Ebay has one or two second hand ones but I get the feeling I will be putting back in, much the...

    Factory or not? Kit

    I forgot to ask, How much of the car would have AMG trim if it is an optional add on?

    Factory or not? Kit

    I currently own a 1999 c230k manual with classic trim and have been offered a 1997 c230k sport with AMG kit. Did merc offer this car with an AMG trim option at that time? He wants £500 for it, so I think its worth it just for the bits, if they are geniune.

    C230k w202 springs and shocks

    I have been made aware of high corrosion on my springs and two of my shocks. I have a c230k 1996 Esprite, it has the slightly lower suspension. I would ideally like to get her a little lower and fit new springs and shocks all round. Any recomends on new sports suspension for my 202? thanks Paul

    Help please! Cutting out at every chance given

    Sorted. Took back to the merc man and he removed the throtle body, cleaned it up and adjusted something call a pessim.... something or other (it controls the idle) he reset everything with his laptop and it is working fine again. No charge, which is nice. Fingers crossed.

    Help please! Cutting out at every chance given

    Turned up the idle with the threaded cable adjustment, the black plastic part under the hood. I know its crude but just wanted to see what happened. Got the idle upto about 1000 and went for a spin. Over time the idle got less and less untill the problem just came back. The engine revs seem to...

    Help please! Cutting out at every chance given

    I have just changed the battery on my 1996 c230k manual. The old battery was lazzy,on its way out. Took the good one from my 84 280se. Now the car keeps stalling all of the time! If I just start her up she will tick over at about 750, rev her up and on the down revs she drops to about 100 and...

    Responsivness of a C230 K 1997?

    Picked her up today but only managed a 5 min drive in rush hour, so the only thing I noticed that she was pulling abit like a diesel, much more difficult to stall. The Merc man gave it back with a health warning! He said he took her for a blast and the rear end was snaking all over when he...

    Responsivness of a C230 K 1997?

    Yes mine is a manual. It is very snapy but my merc man says this is normal with merc manual boxes. He says he took it for a test drive today and it goes like stink! This mod sounds interesting to me also. Paul
