Yesterday morning I opened my drivers door and the kick plate (the bit piece of plastic which is clipped on to the bottom of the door frame) ripped off as it was stuck to the bottom of the door. Thinking lightning would not strike twice my Dad opened the passenger door and the same thing...

Hi Guys, After my previos thread on here about my girlfriends Mini needing a new battery thanks to the boot light being on for two week while the park was parked, I find myself in a similar situation again but this time the boot light is fine. So something is definately drawing current...

Hi, My girlfriends battery in her Mini Cooper is dead due to an interior light being left on for 10 days while unused. I today bought a new Bosch battery for it but it is shorter then the origional BMW battery that came out. This creates a problem as the battery is housed in a plastic box...

Hi guys, Can anyone point me in the direction of a scrap yard which buys cars for cash? The car is a 206 which I am told runs fine but the body work is in dire condition. I have tried looking on the internet and I am trying to avoid going to places like Carcraft as word is they do...

Hi Guys, I have a problem with the audio system in my car. The whole thing is 100% factory fitted now. The problem is that, when it rains the "reset fuse" in the engine bay for the cd player keeps tripping out which causes the radio to carry on playing but the controls become unresponsive...

Hi, I was driving around with the low fluid in the washer tank warning on for a few day using the odd squirt here and there. On my last squirt before I actually filled up the tank, the jets seemed to have no pressure behind them. Following this, I filled up the tank and the jets still had...

Hi Guys, Tomorrow I am planning on removing a amplifier from my boot. All the cabling and interior wiring is not a problem. I need help on disconnecting the battery. I know there is problems with rear sam's etc having problems upon reconnection so could anyone offer any pointers? I know...

The petrol tank in a W203 C-class is sort of a saddle bag shape over the axel, does anyone know if this means the car has to fuel pick up pipes, one from each side? Also, how does the fuel pick up work, when is one side used and when does it switch to the other side? Thanks in advance Zishan

Recently I have had this problem when the car judders almost everytime when I am pulling away from a stop. Are there any common causes for this on a W203 coupe? Thanks This coming weekend I am thinking that I will clean the MAF, anyone got any tips for the procedure or what fluid to use...

When driving my car I can here a hum sound for maybe 5 seconds which is on a loop. So it hums for 5 seconds, stops, hums for 5 seconds, stops, and so on. The sound is similar to the sound you here when you turn the key two clicks in order to check the oil in the engine using the computer...

Exactly as the title says, when the petrol level is low on my car it starts to behave really badly. The gear changes are really rough and it feels like the car is going to stall when I am pulling away from standstill. My first thought is that there is some rubbish/dirt in the petrol tank which...

I gave my car into MercsOnly in Hanwell for a service and asked them to look into a slight thud thud thud sound I could hear when braking. At first they thought it was the roll bar bushings, so they changed these but the sound was still there. I took the car back that evening and everything was...

Hi, this is a bit of a long story so i hope it doesnt bore you guys. It all started when the alignment of my car went way out and the car was going straight when the wheel was off to one side. I got that fixed and the car now goes straight with the wheel straight and doesnt pull to any...

My windscreen has got about a 4 inch crack in it after a stone hit it so I am pretty sure they wont be able to fix it but Privledge has given me the choice of going with either Autoglass or RAC windscreens. My past experience with Autoglass is that they didnt put enough sealant at the...

After reading the thread about the smells coming from vents I thought I would maybe change this as there is a bit of a stench in my car. Thanks in advance. Zishan

Hi Guys and Gals, These are my new wheels.................well they are not actually new, they were origionally on my brothers SLK so they are second hand, but new to me and my car. I dont think they look as good as the origional Alshain alloys but a nice change from the usual coupe wheels...

When I leave my house in the morning I have to reverse out of my drive with my wheel sometimes at full lock on a turn. When reversing with the wheel anywhere near full lock it feels like I drive over something with the front wheel or it is slightly buckling. It doesnt happen all the time, it...

Is anyone getting one on when they are released on the 2nd December? I didnt preorder months back so I got to come up with a plan to get one on launch day, i'm guessing its going to involve some sort of camping on the streets......lol. Zishan
