Still not had any luck with lights. Front fogs havent worked again since and the front parking lights arent working either. ABS/ESP/BAS came on again last week a couple of times but haven't seen it again since. Cleaned up the earth point and put a new bolt in it. Still no difference. Any...

I'm having a problem where the driver side headlight is intermittent. Sometimes it will work, other times it wont. When I bought the car a few weeks ago the front fog lights wouldn't work, and it states on the service history from a few years ago 'Front Fog Lights Inoperable'. However I tried...

Thanks for the replies, but the 270 is probably a bit out of my price range. Should have stated earlier I didnt really want to spend more than £2000, which is why I had only really looked at the W202 and the W210 Thanks

Hi, I'm currently driving a W202 C180 and am looking for a diesel due to the miles I am currently doing (About 20,000 per year) and that I'm only getting around 31mpg out of the C180. I would also prefer an estate over the saloon. I've looked at the C250TD, C220CDI and E300TD, E320CDI, however...

Pressures are fine, but tyres were changed a while ago for some cheap ones. Cant remember what the make is but there not a well know brand. The CAT was changed a last year. I think its an aftermarket/non oem one thats on now. Would that make a difference?

Theres not obvious fuel leak (cant smell anything)where abouts do the fuel lines run?

Im stuck for what to try next now. Had it on the STAR machine and there were no error codes. Replaced plugs Replaced lambda Replaced air filter Checked HT leads Checked intake air temp sensor Anyone anymore ideas? Thanks in advance

It is the 4 speed and there is no airflow sensor. Its just had a new set of bosch plugs, new o2 sensor, and a new cat not long before I bought it.

Its a 4 speed auto. What do you mean by lock up?

Having had the time to run a good few tanks of fuel through ive had very little difference. Still around the 30 mpg mark. I have noticed that the RPM needle does not sit dead steady (should it do?) and will move up and down slightly. The car also feels slightly lumpy when fully warmed up. You...

Hi, I have been looking to raplace the ashtray in my C180 with the 'storage compartment'. I take it theres a 12v socket build into that as well? Can anyone confirm which part numbers I will need please Am I correct in thinking they are A2108200951 12v socket (where does this go/how do you wire...

Thanks for all the replies. I hooked it up to the Bosch ESI/KTS and the oxygen sensor voltage was all over the place. Then put it on the gas analyser and the lambda and CO readings were way above where they should have been. I've ordered a new sensor so hopefully that should solve the problem

Thanks, tyres pressures are fine(just had 2 new ones on the back). Don't really do a lot of driving in heavy traffic really lots of m/way and A road mainly. I'll get my dad to plug it into his diagnostic machine and see if it pulls anything out

Thanks for the reply, the filter was not changed long ago. Took it out to check and it's like new. What plugs would you recommend?

It's was such a good price due to my dad bein a merc independent. He bought it with a broken auto box (would only work in reverse!) fitted a refurb box, kept it for a few years then sold it on, then the bloke who bought it sold it back to him, as he had just bought a new car. Never intended to...

Hi all, I have a 1997 C180, and have had it just over 1 month. The car itself is fantastic (my first merc) bought for £550 with 91000 miles on the clock:D. However what are the official fuel consumption figures for this car. Most miles I do are motorway, usually driven at around 65mph with the...
