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...

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...

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'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...

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...

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...

Hello Mercadians, The motor and myself are approaching our first anniversary together and I'm treating it to new tyres. Gislaved "Speed 506" 215/55/ZR 16 93W are the tyres wearing out. They were with the car when I bought it. Are they a cheap brand from Continental ? Is is OK to change...

Occasionally when using the air-conditioning, the left hand vents dispense very hot air even when the rotary switch is set to the coldest position. I have to stop the engine or set the rotary switch to the hottest position then return it back to the coldest position. Is there an easy fix...

I'm turning my pristine E300TD into a surf wagon. My surf buddy uses typical roof bars and straps. I checked on Thule's website but am unsure which set to purchase. It's a 1999 Estate with the factory roof rails.

Never have I seen so many silver S-Class saloons in one place at one time as the City of London. I think they're used as delivery vans, I'm sure.

Is it a Merc? To Be or Not To Be (a MERC)

Whilst driving on the M1 I heard and felt some object hit the underside of my car. On inspection it ripped/broke a section of the plastic guard just underneath the drivers door. These plastic guards seem to be replaceable. Are they? I'll need a pit or ramp to do a thorough check though...
