    W202 C240 '98 Heater Controls

    I have had this problem intermittently too, any opinions would be welcome. Having googled it, this does seem common - motors, brushes, blowers, resistors etc. all failing Hopefully someone more expert will come along Marcus

    Interior Lights staying on

    Hi all, I have a what seems to a silly little problem. Neither the boot light or back seat overhead lights were working in my C250 TD estate. I took out the fittings and found 1 missing and 1 blown bulb. So having replaced them I have found they stay on when everything else turns off and...

    W204 not starting / then fine

    My w202 does the same thing occasionally, I remove and replace the key then it starts. I have never got a straight answer as to why but its an old car so not worth pursuing to far.

    Odd Head light problem c250

    Solved OK, an update to help anyone else with a similar problem. I dropped round to friend with a multimeter and tested voltages in the different lamp sockets. We established it was an earth leak. In tracing wires back to the harness we found the rectangular black connector attached to...

    Odd Head light problem c250

    E320 estate juddering problem at idle

    Hi, I had the very same problem with my C250 and had the engine mounts changed, amongst other things, the car much smoother and the judder is nearly completely gone at idle. One of mine was 1 1/2 inches lower than it should have been. The cost wasn't more than €300 including the labour good...

    Odd Head light problem c250

    Hi My second post so please bear with me. I have a 98 C250 running nicely but it has developed an odd problem with the headlights. Dipped beams work correctly but when I put on the full beam the right (drivers) side turns off entirely, both dip and full. This happens most of the...

    Wiper arm length adjustment

    Thanks Rascal, I think you're right, its the wrong arm, probably a bodge fix some time in its past, I think I'll buy a shorter blade

    Wiper arm length adjustment

    hi all, My first post and what would seem to be very stupid question, I picked up a 98 C250 TD recently in nick. In going to change the wiper blade I bought the recommended 24" blade. It is definitely too long for the arm as it stands, more than 3 inches over the previous one. Is there some...
