My C250 developed this fault overnight a few days ago. If I drive along using a light throttle, it feels normal. However if I sink my foot a bit further down to overtake or go up a hill, there is just no acceleration at all. It feels like it did once when I forgot to reconnect the boost...

No 4 glow plug was sheared off when I bought the car. The hex just spun round, wobbled side to side but the plug wouldn't unscrew. However it still worked, so I left it be. I decided to tackle this and booked it in with a Merc specialist who said he'd removed plenty of sheared plugs. This is...

Just started what I thought was going to be an easy and quick job... and behold, most of the pipes don't fit! Many of them barely resemble the ones coming off. The part numbers on the invoice are: A605 070 14 32 A605 070 15 32 A605 070 10 32 A605 070 12 32 A605 070 07 32 I also ordered the...

I need 5 altogether... The bloke who's fitting the new nozzles and setting the pop pressures can't turn them around that quick, so I need another set I can give to him so the car isn't on stop! Many thanks

Traced the trans fluid leak on my C250 to the multi-plug. Box behaved normally despite having lost nearly a litre of fluid over the last 10k miles. Its been kinda oozing away. The fluid, filter and sump gasket were all done 10k miles ago, so I'm just doing the multi-plug and getting the fluid...

The car is flashing its winkers quite persistently tonight. No siren noise, I suspect the alarm is switched to silent mode as it were. Anyone know why it does this and how to fix it?

Having needed to do a fair few coolant changes on the family fleet, I bought a drum of the Comma long life advanced protection anti-freeze. It is the orange stuff, with organic acid technology or something. The label on the drum says it is compatable with all petrol and diesel engines... however...

Just wondering if any members have had good used parts off anyone in particular. I need a propshaft, and obviously the issue with getting a used one is that the seller may not know how to check the centre bearing, UJ joint etc properly and sell me one in good faith, which turns out to have a lot...

As per the title really, got a knackered UJ on my one.

Definately need a new prop shaft on my C250 TD Auto Estate... I'm tempted to just get a decent used one... anyone got any tips? I don't have a huge budget tbh (I know... shouldn't have an MB if you can't afford to run it, but there we go), and I suspect a new one would cost the earth and a...

Got my C250 last week and have been sorting small things on it (fuel lines, rear tyres, aux. drivebelt and damper to do still, then the rust). Got new rear tyres today which got rid of the vibration I used to get at 65mph+. I did 80mph in it today (private road) and the steering feels decidedly...

Need to be doing some corrosion repairs soon-ish and whilst I have some aerosols of azurite blue which came with the car (two Halfrauds own, and once 'holts colour match') I should probably make use of the fact I have a big compressor, air filter and spray gun and buy some proper basecoat, then...

I currently use autoglym shampoo and conditioner, but was wondering if there are any that leave a corrosion inhibiting residue/ protective coating?

Hi all, been having some annoying fuel delivery related symptoms with my newly aquired C250 TD Sport. When I picked it up it was running B100, and seeing as its had the common prep work needed to run bio/ wvo blends (new O-rings on the push-fit pipes, shut off valve and decent glow plugs, as...

Evenin all... I'm having a confusing time, and confused.com are not helping at all. I'm 21 and have the dosh ready for both a C250 TD estate and the insurance (best quote so far is £800 fully comp in my name with the Co-op) but I feel there must be a better deal out there. A mate of mine insures...

Afternoon everyone, I'm trying to find out some more specific details/ model names on this type of wheel as fitted to W202 C class Sport models in the mid 90's. I saw an "N" plate W202 Sport which had what looked like 14" or 15" alloys, AMG monoblock type... these are the type I'm after. Are...

Do all or some C250TD's have a DMF (and if some don't how do you distinguish them from cars with DMF fitted?) and how reliable are they? Has anyone had experience of them? I thought the most fool proof M.B C250TD would be a manual one, but maybe not if they have a dual mass flywheel eh! Any...

Ideally the car needs to be dark (Azurite) blue or black, and not have any nasty bulging rust in the rear wheel arch seams. Certainly no rot and ideally no rust underneath the car. I wouldn't mind a bit of rust, as I'm a bodywork guy (owned a Ford Capri for 5 years and did all the repairs...
