JonnyC E300DT

The high tone horn under the front offside wing had failed and the low tone horn wiring loom was at fault. Just made a flying lead to get power to the low tone. Sorted for the MOT! Thanks JonnyC

My 2-tone horn has died, slowly. One tone after another. I can see a horn behind the bonnet grille with two conectors and two cables leading off. Is it a single unit, or as I've read in other messages two units tucked away in different locations? Is it a generic Merc horn for most...

Only went in for a "B" Service, came out with a £4000 estimate for parts and labour :eek: Replacements & work required:- -New front subframe (rotten/corroded) -Rear propshaft coupling (split) -2x rear subframe bushes (split) -4x brake disks and pads (pitted & corroded) -N/S/F coil...

I've had a fun time spinning the wheels of my E300TD. Chuffin' useless up even a slight hill. Can't remember having this much trouble in other rear-wheel drive motors. Marina 1300 Deluxe 1973 (3 bags of cement in boot) Cortina 1600 Mk III 1976 Went out in my wife's Golf 1400, no probs...

My friendly local dealer checked my service history, then checked with MB in Germany for the warranty claim. Some of the rust area was repainted, but any previous paintwork wasn't covered, ie accident repairs. The paint depth monitor was run over the whole body.

Apparently Jaguar use the same gearbox on their modern XJ6 models. Friend of mine has checked my car's oil level using a "Jag" dipstick. Jonny

It's time for a 159000 mile service on my E300TD 1999. There is a full MB service history so far, but I think this service along with other scheduled maintenance tasks will have me heading off to an independent garage due to the quoted cost. The service indicator shows one spanner which...

Will, Labour was quoted as 5-7 hours, but I need the knuckle joints some other small parts and the brake fluid replacing. With parts and labour it was £1200. Milages is 144K , you're correct.

After a 14400 mile service, my dealer recommended I have the o/s/f suspension arm replaced as the bushes had worn down. Apparently the bushes are not replaceable so it's the complete arm. And it was suggested both o/s and n/s arms to be replaced. The geometry needs adjusting (laser style)...

I've got a Blaupunct digital radio and digital aerial to fit on an E300TD. It came (second hand ) with a glass mouted aerial from www.panorama.co.uk Jonny PS they supply refit kits (adhesive pads and boots etc.

I'm having an "A" service at a Mercedes dealership but have chosen to supply the oil myself, which they are happy with. But I've been asked to supply a specific brand and type. Surely I can choose the brand and typ as long as the oil meets Merc specs (229.1)?? Jonathan PS I'm going...

Trust the washer system to block at this time of year, plenty of salt on the roads eh! The jets seem clear of blockages, but water is escaping from behind the jets. I noticed lots of gunk floating in the washer bottle last time I refilled it. I don't use any additives just tap water, on...

Due to purchase of new A Class(W169), I'm offering these carriers from my original A Class (W168). Genuine Mercedes carriers. Basic Carrier Bars, Alustyle, A Class. £100 Bicycle Carrier Alustyle, A Class. £120 They both come with the fitting instructions!

SL500 1999 (129) Climate Control problem. After 20-30 minutes driving at a constant speed on motorways or dual carriageways, the vents no longer blow cold air. The blower fan seems to be working but no cold air emits from the vents. To rectify the problem the engine is stopped for 5...

E300TD 1999 W210. Intermittently the vents blow air when the rotary fan dial is set to off (0). Do dealers offer a diagnosis only service or will they want to diag and fix in one go? Thanks Jonathan PS I posted earlier about the passenger side blowing hot when the dial was set to...

E300TD 1999 W210. I've just bought new tyres for the front axle. The tread on both original front tyres is Wearing out on the inside edge (nearest the engine bay). The tracking has been checked and is OK. Can the castor and camber be adjusted to stop this pattern of tyre wear? Can I buy...

Thanks People, I forgot to mention, the Sevilla sometimes won't turn on when the ignition is turned on. But 10 to 15 minutes later I can turn it on! Will try all you have suggested. My Dad has given me the DAB aerial, I just need to fit it but being the laziest car modifier in the...

Hello Elecy-Techies, My Blaupunkt Sevilla RDM 168 is on it's last legs. It intermittently switches off then on again; momentarily for less than a second. Would that be a problem with the stereo or cabling at the rear of the stereo? I've just bought a second-hand Blaupunkt Woodstock 52...
