    Any help with replacing foglamp lens?

    Thanks mate, thinking about it now I remember seeing that but didn't want to persevere too much for fear of breaking it. Incidentally, slightly off topic but how do you find the MB service department in Glasgow? I'm changing my car when the lease runs out and have ordered a fully loaded...

    Any help with replacing foglamp lens?

    Do you mean the plastic shielding under the front of the car? I didn't think of that, I'll take a look if the rains stopped tomorrow. That could be a go'er Yeah, I asked them the other day as the lease terminates at the end of April and my girlfriend is going to buy it, so I'll probably...

    Any help with replacing foglamp lens?

    Help I need to replace the foglamp lens on the passenger side of my '02 W203 C180 but can't figure out how to access it. I did notice a square panel in the wheel arch and un-did the 3 bolts holding it on, but it looks like it's held on with plastic rivets as well. Anyway, I bent the...

    2005 SLK - should I trust MB support?

    Not sure I would go as far as to say I recommend bluetooth, but I was referring to "integrated" type. Well partly integrated hence the quotes, I fitted the Sony Ericsson one to my W203 C Class which was a doddle. Only needs power, ignition sense (which I fed from the glovebox light) and audio...

    2005 SLK - should I trust MB support?

    Why not just get a bluetooth kit? A factory fitted bluetooth kit won't be any different and you don't need a cradle screwed to the dash, just leave the phone in your pocket.

    Q's for anyone with 05 C-Class Comand

    No, I'm talking about the service centre at Slateford, next to the Shell. Didn't know the dealership on Willowbrae road had a service centre! Can it be any worse than the one in Slateford I wonder.... Every time I give them my car to fix something under warranty, they hand it back saying...

    Q's for anyone with 05 C-Class Comand

    Thanks for the info Steveatki. Damn! That's a real bummer. Looks like I'll be going for a Saab 9-3 Vector Sport with the business pack then, doesn't play MP3s either but you get a whole lot more kit, including an integrated phone with sim reader in the boot. Oh well.....never mind, I...

    Q's for anyone with 05 C-Class Comand

    I'll be replacing my 02 C in April this year and am thinking of adding Comand to my next one but I have a couple of questions before I make a final decision. - What has been added to the new DVD comand that wasn't in the previous CD version? - How do you find the navigation instructions...

    w203 handbrake/parking brake

    Yeah, the ratchet on mine's gone 3 times in 2.5 years. Bet they cost a bomb to fix once the car's out of warranty. Trouble is, according to my dealership it doesn't actually serve any other purpose than to make a noise but if you plan to keep the car longer than 3 years then you need to get...

    Replacing fog lights

    Can't help you with instructions but my W203 recently went in to have the steering system dismantled and re-done plus replacing the drivers side fog light lens. Car was picked up at about 10am and returned by 2:30pm. Now considering they said they had to remove the power steering pipes, fix...

    MB Alarm system + key

    Sure does. Bugs me that Mercedes use IR to control this so you have to point the key at the door. Other manufacturers manage to do the same with RF, makes the Merc system look inferior. :mad:

    The CLS; Eye candy or Pile of poo

    True ;) Sorry for re-polling, I didn't realise this had already been polled. (Don't visit very often) Cheers, I'm off to the bank to start saving for my CLS. :D

    What sort of people drive a Merc ?

    *gasp* HEATHEN... :D It looks nothing like an S-Class, the headlamps are completely the wrong shape for a start. As for the primera..... pLeeease. :mad: True, the DB9 has stunning performance but the trouble with AM is that they have had no vision since they got stung with the 80's Lagonda...

    My new C Class

    According to *ahem* other forums the sensor on the windscreen is to measure light levels and the little dome on the bonnet senses the position of the sun... alledgedly. (it did come from an MB tech) As for some dork pulling out in front of you when your headlamps come on... Well I'm sorry...
