I'm desperate to get hold of a replacement BCM (Body - or battery, depending who you talk to - Control Module). The unit on the car has the serial No. "A 211 540 38 45" and the price from Mercedes is horrifying. There are a few on Ebay but the price varies between £45 and around £150, which...

I've started to hear a whine from the transmission. The noise corresponds to speed increase, gear-by-gear. The car's done just over 100,000 miles so I'm wondering whether an ATF change will solve the problem. Any advice will be welcome. Thanks in advance, Peter

My E280 has only a single bush attaching the diff (?) to the chassis cross member, even though there is a pair (left and right) of attachment points. Does this matter? Picture included, looking from rear of vehicle. View is upwards from under the fuel tank.

I had to replace the whole offside rearlamp unit on my 2005 C-Class Saloon because one lens was broken. This means that the working LED cluster from the unit I removed is available if anybody needs one. If your car is the same body-type, and needs a replacement brake light LED cluster, this...

Does anyone know whether the range of the smart key is configurable? My reason for asking is that, a couple of times, the boot release of my E280 has been operated inadvertently when I've had the key in my pocket. On one occasion the car was on the other side of the road, about 50 yards away...

Bought this car about three months ago, and was originally intending to fit a tow bar myself. My first choice of tow bar was a Westfalia detachable (which I have experience of, both as a user and having fitted one to a Volvo), but the tech info states that reinforcing bars - Mercedes OEM...

A lady rear-ended my 2001 C270 (W203) saloon a week ago. The impact wasn't that great but the offside rear quarter panel is a bit crumpled and I suspect that, when the insurance company's engineer gets sight of it, the result will be a write-off. :wallbash: Anticipating this, I'm looking at...

Can anybody recommend an MB specialist in/near Brighton? Worthing, Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath are also within striking distance. Thanks, Peter

I'm most of the way through removing the rear hub (a job that started because the protective plate needs replacing) and find I can't free the hub from one of the arms to which it's attached. First picture shows where I'm at, with the connection to the problem arm in the centre: Will it...

I'm struggling to get one of the rear discs of my 2001 W203 (C270). I found the message I've quoted below in a thread from last year which I first thought would provide a solution, but I can't relate this guidance to my own vehicle. I'm unable to locate the shoe adjuster referred to. I've...

I was on the brink of ordering one of these but, having read reviews on Amazon now question whether I should bother. The book evidently has many shortcomings and, it appears, most tasks are either covered by somebody on YouTube, or can be guided by the assembled wisdom of members here. Does...

I tow a caravan (c. 1300kg) with our 1991 C270 Auto and, generally, there are no problems. The engine is well capable and the whole "train" is stable. Just occasionally, though, the transmission apparently drops out of gear. Usually ascending hills and, yesterday, when I contemplated an...

Hi, I've been looking at the Euro Car Parts site and, for my vehicle, there are several options for brake pads, leaving me uncertain as to which I should be buying. Assistance in identifying the correct ones will really be appreciated. Thanks, Peter
