Thanks - You mean a good old bucket and sponge then a machine polish ? Any ideas on products ?

Hello All, Ive got through a few mercs since my last post - All of which Ive got back up to scratch and one of which Im still using daily. My latest project was picked up Today - A 1994 E200 in Black and Silver that had sat unstarted and under a tree for three years. To my delight it started...

I just had the same problem with my E240 - After using kickdwon when getting to the red would just rev like hell and not change back down. A few days later (and it was almost OK but not quite right) it locked into the one gear and 'safe' or 'get you home' mode. Its been at the garage and they...

OK - Took my car in to In-Autos Today who have hooked up to Star and told me that the 'gearbox plate' (apparantly a printed circuit board) that helps deal with telling the car when to shift has gone. Part is about £150+gearbox oil+fitting+VAT. Im told the total is likely to be £500. Does that...

Bummer! Thanks anyway..... Jamie :O)

Hello All, Is there any way I can get the mirrors on my 1998 E240 Avantgarde to auto fold ? There is a button to do it manually but its a bit of a pain! Cheers Jamie :O)

Hi Mate, Its probably a bit too far as Im not sure how bad the gearbox issue could be. Have just booked it into Mercedes Benz Specialist - Servicing & Repairs in Surrey | In Autos They seemed really helpful on the phone and have 25% off labour in December Just looked under the car and...

Is the Merc specialist likely to have STAR ? (Im assuming its a fault code system?) Would I be better forking out for Mercedes ? If you were nearer would probably get it in to you but at 20 miles an hour not practicle.

And how can I check the fluid level (cant see a dipstick)

OK - Thanks for that people Unfortunatly it just got worse - I had a long journey in it and after coming off of the motorway (a 200 odd mile journey) car seems to have lost the ability to change gear. On the slower roads it seems to have selected 2nd gear and wont change up or down. Initially I...

Evening All! I bought a 1998 E240 Avantgarde Auto Today and all is great apart from one thing. Gearchanges are smooth BUT I noticed something odd earlier on the motorway going up a big hill. Used 'kickdown' to give me some more power up the hill and naturally started accelarating up the...

Hi All, Just had my carpets cleaned and about to gliptone my seats. Can anyone steer me in the right direction of some decent car mats ? I saw these on ebay - Maybe I should ask for a colour sample ? What do you guys think ? Mercedes W124 E300 E250D Luxury Alpaca Beige Mats on eBay (end...

That looks good - Like the way you can use it ultra slow - Might help me! Thanks for all your help - have qa guy here at the moment doing the carpets and my gliptone arrived this morning so will give that a bash this afternoon - THE SUNS EVEN COME OUT! Love the smell of the gliptone - Smells...

I saw something a few minutes ago on clicking climate control - If you look earlier Tonight posts youll see a guy asking about buying a CLK55. Some other users point out clicking climate or air con can be a problem.
