    Last couple of days my supercharger wont engage. It was working perfectly before, and then I got in the car the next day and nothing. I have driven it several times since and the supercharger has not engaged once. Will be getting the car checked out by a garage this week to read codes but...

    Car Appreciation

    So the C32 has gone and I have no immediate plans to replace it. I think I may replace it with a Sunday / Track Day car but only for a short period 6 months to 1 year until my next house move. Would it be possible to pick up a car like this that will not depreciate in value over that period...

    C32 Intercooler Pump Relay?

    In the last month I've been getting the dreaded supercharger shut off due to intake temps because the intercooler pump is no longer functioning properly. My upgraded pump has only done about 5k so I was rather surprised at this. After spending hours on Sunday replacing my upgraded intercooler...

    Beat a Vantage and a Gallardo!

    Last Saturday I got the opportinity of taking out a brand new Nissan GT-R for a thrash. I knew this chance would not come up very often so after a cautious start I soon grew in confidence. What a machine, incredible acceleration and my passenger even seemed to be enjoying himself. As my...

    My rear demister has stopped working. The demister button still lights up and after 5 mins or so turns itself off as it used to however no demisting takes place. I have checked both fuses listed on my fuse box diagram and they are both intact. I have also checked the rear window and there...

    C32 Headlight

    Wondered if anyone has had this problem. Went out in my C32 the other night and noticed when I turned my Xenon (I think) headlight on the passenger side turns dimmer and a noticable orange colour after about 5 seconds. It also appears to be pointing too high when I look at the reflection in...

    C32 Sticky Caliper?

    This afternoon on my way back from Hastings with the family my brake fluid boiled. From my point of view the brake pedal just went flat on the floor with no brakes at all. A couple of computer warning systems flashed up but I was too busy trying to get the car to stop and turned off to really...

    C32 Burning Smell from Engine

    Hiyas, I have started to get a burning smell entering the cabin when the car is warm. I cant decide if it's rubbery or an oily smell but either way its not good. It usually lasts for no more than a minute and then clears. Car drives as per normal with no dash errors. I have read a bit on the...

    Command Unit Buttons

    The buttons on the front of my command unit (on a C32 AMG 2002) have excessive wear to the rubber surrounds :mad:. It's bad enough that I want to replace them. Does anyone know where I can order replacements? Or perhaps which company made the original units for MB in case I can get them to lay...

    Mobil 0W40

    About to purchase some oil for my C32 AMG in case it ever needs any between services (My M5 certainly did!). Will probably also supply it to the dealers for services. Where do you get your from? Halfords seems the least painless way unless you know better :D Andy
