Hi all.... it's been a long time since i've been on this forum. I now have another mecedes with a question. I'm repairing leaking injector seals. I bought a couple of new clamps and stretch bolts from MB but mine seems to have studs and nuts to secure the clamps. Does this sound correct or has...

Hi all, I went for a run down to portsmouth and back the other day. After I came off the the A31 duel carriageway I had to stop at the roundabout. From idle it surged. I almost thought I had been nudged from behind. I carried on, but now it happens once every couple of days. Does...

Hi all. A funny thing happened earlier today. My comand just shut off and wouldn't turn back on. After a minuit or 2 it turned on. So I checked the error codes and it had the following. B1767/0 Navigation parameter missing – number of teeth of ABS pulse rotor not configured ...

Well I went down to Tony Purslows today to get my Dash cluster enabled for my comand retro fit. I printed out the procedures for it from this site and handed them over to the service manager. They were a little confused at first as they had my down for a Garmin sat nav programming?!?. After...

This might be a silly question, but how exactly does the MB gps for comand see up through the dashboard? I use a seperate gps system at the mo and it always needs a clear view of the sky. What is the difference with the MB antenna. I'm looking to retrofit comand soon.

Hi all... I have a question. Normally I give my car an oil change inbetween main dealer services. I use Chevron oil from Costco. It's cheap but it has all the required specs and it's fully synthetic. I believe Daimler Chrysler have something to do with Chevron as well. The thing is the Chevron...

Hi all, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to check the operation of the heater booster on a W210. I can't say I've ever noticed that it is working. I asked MB to diagnose it and they came up with a buster recirculation pump. It was indeed seized so I replaced it. I now get hot air when the...

Does anyone know a specialist who is capable of setting up the vacuum system on the electronic 5 speed box. Mine seems to slip on the upshift between 3rd and fourth. I understand this can be reduced by making the gear change more aggressive. I can't find anyone in the Surrey/Hants area capable...
