    Is there a "Howto" to help diagnosing CPS faults?

    My ML320 has without doubt been one of the most trouble free cars I have ever owned, but it has recently developed an issue. I am pretty sure its the CPS however as hard as I have looked on this site and others, there doesn't seem to be a definitive list of the symptoms that could confirm if the...

    Fuse 8 blowing when radio is turned on...

    I have a problem with my E320 W210 that is progressively getting worse. The 7.5amp fuse (fuse no 8) under the rear seat blows when I turn on the radio. This is doubly annoying as it appears to be the same fuse that controls the electric windows, wing mirrror adjustment and remote boot release...

    Is DOT4 brake fluid ok for my W210

    Cant get to MB's for a few days to pick up the "proper" stuff but I have a bottle of Comma Dot4 unopened in the garage. Was planning to do my discs and pads tomorrow would this be ok to use as top up if I get any spillage when compressing the pistons?

    Storage of new brake discs

    Perhaps a slightly odd question but are there any specific considerations for storage of new unused brake discs? Given they can warp etc are they affected by heat or cold when stored in a garage? My garage gets really hot this time of year and I won't get round to fitting my new discs for a few...

    removing front calipers on the W210

    In order to change front pads and discs on a W210 do you simply need to remove the caliper carrier bolts (18mm I think) and then the small 7mm hex bolt to remove the disc? in other words there are simply three fasteners to change discs and pads? Can the pads be changed without removing the...

    Does this sound like a wheel bearing, disc or seized caliper?

    My W210 has developed a slight rumbling noise that is only noticeable at slow speeds (around 5 - 15mph). Its accompanied by some slight vibration that can be felt through the brake pedal but its not related to brake use, in other words it can be felt if I rest my foot on the pedal (without...

    Today my wife reversed the ML into a tree

    We recently decided to hang onto our W163 as its been a totally reliable family car and we just cant bring ourselves to part with it for the pittance I would get in part ex or privately. So we have put some money to one side to get a number of small niggles fixed so that we can enjoy it for...

    Odd bunch the yanks are!

    This post made me smile when I read it on that well known American forum! Never fails to amaze me just how deeply technical and baffling some of the posts are over there :D:D I just had an image of a bloke called Chuck peering at the instrument cluster on his his car when saw this message...

    New wheels arrived today but still not sure is they fit

    I bought a set of "Ronal" alloys from a mate as they seemed to be what was fitted to my W210 Avantgarde. My plan being to refurb my old ones either myself or pop them round to a local place to have them stripped. He dropped them around today and they are in great condition so for what I paid...

    Today I fell in love a CLK GTR Roadster

    A quick visit today to take the kids to Mercedes World (its only 10 mins down the road) ended in awe for me. I don't think I have ever set eyes on such a car that almost seemed to stir a primeval sense of attraction as this car did. After looking at it for a good 20 mins and being literally...

    Why were MB so bad and BMW so good???

    I so wanted the experience of going to an MB dealer with nearly £20,000 in cash to buy a used car to be better than it was. I didn’t expect to be left waiting for nearly 20 minutes to be seen by a sales person and then told that the car that I had called last night about was not actually on...

    Engine temperature and Aircon.....

    Excuse my ignorance on this but this is puzzling me... Why does the temperature on my W210 seem to run slightly hotter when the AC is running? I have noticed that it sits just above 80 with the AC on but stays virtually bang on in the centre of 80 when its on "EC" mode... Same journey, same...
