    SL55 R230 P30

    I know this post is old, but no one has replied and I like bringing closure to issues that might plague others. Replacing the accumulators will improve your harsh / solid dampers. This is essentially the same as on the older self leveling systems, but mounted remotely. There's 3 accumulators in...

    Low speed noise from back of the car

    the type of noise will gove a better idea of what you are dealing with. If its a low groaning noise its diff or tyre related. If its a squeel type noise and gets loud at a certain low speed and seems to get drowned out when you accellerate, check the propshaft bearing by removing the exhaust and...

    W210 E300TD still difficult start - what next?

    Nice to see its sorted! I knew it was the glow plugs as i have the same symptoms - hard to start, when it starts it sounds like its nailing an injector and throws out blue smoke for about 30 seconds whilst misfiring then settles down as the temperature climbs. Good job on getting them out! Now...

    W210 E300TD still difficult start - what next?

    Glow plugs...... Sorry buddy, you have a glowplug problem. Hard starting, lumpy idle when cold is a sign of glow plug problems. 1. Diagnose if you have a wiring problem (check resistance between plug end and connector at glowplug relay) 2. Check if a glowplug is not opperational (Check...

    124c 300ce Rear headrests??

    The air lines are different to the central locking. The air line you need to check runs under the carpet and under the rear seats. Pull the seat off, and check the vacuum switch. Most likely the air is leaking there or at the base of the headrests. Good luck!

    De-cat....

    Sorry to bring back a dead thread......just some clear advice, if your car is something like pre 1995, you can de-cat it all day long - as long as your car meets emmissions targets you are good to go. Hope this clears things up.
