Hi forum members, I have an issue with a drain on my battery and one of the culprits seem to be the alarm horn failing and causing a drain, alarm and lights all work as they should but no sound, I have bought a new alarn horn to fit, but I cant find the location of where it is, a lot of forums...

I have been out all day checking the integrity of all the wiring and earths and everything is now fine, had the crankshaft position sensor out and cleaned it, that is working ok, I then went for a drive after clearing the codes I had recorded, and the only one that comes back is the temperature...

OK, i'll check the sensor wiring but i,m sure that is alright because it has been renewed 12 months ago. I have been looking at my codes again but I am confused, the booklet I am looking at is the Analogue systems 1988-1997, Digital system 1993-2000. Page 11 tells you what the pins check...

Right Nick, I have been out today and read the codes, Pin 6= 1 no fault, Pin 7= 33, somat to with A/Con, fault won’t clear, Pin 8= 2…3…8, cleared all the faults I could and went for a drive then re-read the codes, Pin 8= 2…8 came back, error 3 never returned. So looking at the fault chart error...

Hi Nick, I don't know, I have the battery on charge tonight so I will have a check tomorrow and post back.

Hi guys, I am having a little problem with my motor, It starts ok hot or cold and is running spot on but from cold on first start it will not run unless i hold it on the throttle for 2-3 minutes, if then I ease off the throttle it will tick over fine and be ok the rest of the time untill engine...

Just an update albeit a bit of time has gone by, I took my car to the mate i mentioned above and left it with him for 3 to 4 hours, and he actually fitted the dogbone rod back in the gearbox with a second hand plastic clip (original one had broke, that's why it fell out) from a box he had...

I just thought I would share this story with you guys as the information could be useful in case anybody else is having trouble with their transmission.:thumb: Whist driving the other day, I came to a roundabout, paused for the gap, and pressed accelerator to go, and nothing, engine just...

I think I may have averted a disaster with my transmission, lost forward drive a few days ago and thought my gearbox was shot, managed to get car home and started to find out prices for repairs or a second hand unit. I rang a mate of mine who runs a company who does auto box re-builds called...

Thanks very much Dave for the information booklet, I have two or 3 others that are similar and cross referencing the one you have linked it's the same info, so I will see what the guy sends with the reader. As regards to making a blink tester cheaper, well im a blacksmith by trade, so if you...

Hi kth286, I don't know yet what the codes my car has stored because I have not yet received the code reader, doing my research, it looks like the code meanings are different for specific models, ie, his video instruction says for his e300 that 3 blinks is an airbag srs fault, but on other...

Hello members, I have a bit of trouble with a misfire on my 94 E200 111940, I have been chasing electrical problems for a while now, have gone through the usual remedies like fixed wiring loom, changed OVP relay for abs light on, new plugs, but there is still a misfire developed just recently i...

I paid $28 for the OVP + pp of $13 It was a used one not new. Total about £23.

Sorry to resurrect this age old topic as I'm relatively new to these ere forums and thought I would give others who have a problem with their abs system light some information on how I fixed it. Back in Feb, my abs light came on and I thought oh MOT failure if I can't suss out the problem. So...

Let's not be under any illusion here, the MOT is as someone else has already said a snapshot of the road worthiness of a car on that day, how do I know this, in the 1970s I was prosecuted for driving a car which was unfit for the road after I crashed my Ford Anglia after a steering link arm...

Hello everybody, I am a new member to this forum and live in Chester, I have been a member on Benzworld for a couple of years until I found this site,(UK based)much better than the other one.. I drive an 1994 E200 import from Singapore, which was a replacement for my C180 which I wrote off in...
