Moving house soon so having a clear-out and came across a few bits that someone may find useful. The are FREE but I don't have the time (or the inclination) to post them so collection only I am afraid. We have... W203 Headlight switch with folding mirror buttons. W203 Left and right...

How long between the first brake wear warning and replacement? The reason I ask is mine flashed up yesterday but my MOT is due in about six weeks; I do about 200 (mainly motorway) miles per week; will they last or should I replace them immediately? Thanks

Hi all, Not really an engine thread but was not sure quite where to post so sorry administrators; please move if there is somewhere more appropriate. My W203 is squealing like a little piggy when I turn the steering wheel. Have checked the power steering fluid level and its not even...

Hi All, Has anyone got a CD lens cleaner that works in thier W203 COMAND unit? If so could you let me know the make please? Mine could not read the nav CD but played music OK and my lens cleaner would not work. I have since taken the unit apart and cleaned the lens and the nav now works...

Just a heads up all... there is a new scam going around where you may receive an email stating that you are due a tax rebate. Do not click on anything as it is a scam. Sadly it does look quite authentic and people are giving away their details along with credit card info :wallbash: The...

Hi All Just wondered what people make of these? Are they a good quality? The seller seems to think these are effectively OEM. Are they easy to fit; i.e. slip off the old cloth and then slip on the leather, or will there be stitching to do etc...? Finally, are the saloon and the...

Does anyone know which fuse I need to check for the windscreen washer pump? According to the sheet in the fuse box it says 'Windscreen washer pump' and where the fuse number would normally be it says 'electronic'... What does this mean? :confused: Also, in case it is not a fuse; does...

Thought I would ask here first as someone on here usually knows the answer. My combi boiler is constantly making a noise as if something is still running. It sound like a fan or a pump. The heating is obviously off and there are no leaks or anything. The daft thing is I can't power it off...

Hi All, Asking this for a friend of mine. He has a petrol W202 C200 with a 'Mercedes Approved' Cobra alarm system. The Cobra fob is used to lock / unlock the car but he occasionally forgets and presses the button on the original MB fob. Once this button has been pressed he is unable to...

Hi All I am not using my car a lot at the moment so it is sometimes left standing for weeks on end. Went to start it yesterday and the battery was too flat. Still enough power for central locking etc but not enough to start it. I have a solar trickle charger which I was thinking of wiring...

Time for a new mobile. Can anyone point me to a web site where I can choose a handset by it's features? All I want to do is tick boxes to say that I want WiFi, bluetooth etc... and get a list of devices that fit my requirements. I have searched all morning and can't find such a site but...

Dammit... kerbed my front bumper today and it looks like I will need a new one. :( :mad: I have found the part number from the russian site but I will also need one of the inner pannels for the wheel arch. The site lists two numbers, one for the right hand side and one for the left obviously...

An easy one today; does anyone know which wire is for the reverse lamp on a W203 estate? The choices are: Brown; Grey & Black; White & Black; Red & Black or Grey & Blue. Sorry but there is NO prize for guessing which mod I am doing today. Thanks in advance.

Hi all; I have recently started out on my own writing web sites. I just wanted to get an idea as to how many people use which browsers for surfing the internet. This is to give me an idea as to which ones I should be testing against. Thanks in advance to anyone who votes.

Hope this is the right section to post but mods please move if not. A friend of mine has had his car broken into again. He has a 2001 E-Class estate which has now been broken into TWICE in a year. There are no visible signs of entry but they obviously did not unlock the whole car. We have...

Hi all, I have recently gone wireless with virgin broadband. Everything seems to be OK and I get an excellent signal strength from the wireless LAN. I do seem to have a problem accessing the internet and occasionally I get the following: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Most...

Oh wise ones... I have installed a wireless network in my home but in order to print anything it must be on the main PC which is connected to my printer. Is it possible to connect the printer to the wireless router so it can be used from anywhere? I am sure it can but after endless searches...

Not sure if it's true but I have just received this and it does sound feasible:

I have just installed a Sky HD box and had it paired with my existing Sky+ viewing card. I am watching a HD channel and quite frankly I can't really see a difference. The TV is a 42inch plasma which is definately HD ready and the HDMI control seems to be functioning. Should the...

I was driving along a twisty lane yesterday closely followed by a BMW and to my embarrassment I suddenly lost power. :eek: At first the car slowed to 40 mph and would not allow accelerate away from the tailgating BMW. :devil: A few hundred yards later still on a very twisty lane I lost all...
