Hi, When I got my car serviced, the mechanic said my brake discs were lipped, but I took my car for an MOT and even though it failed (but took it back today to get fix and retested), there was no advisory or anything about the brakes - not sure if it's just because there was no need to be...

Hi, My 2000 Mercedes A140 petrol seems to have started to be a bit nasty on the petrol side (ie. it's eating more than usual), so I thought I'd give it a single treatment of redex. Can anyone tell me which one I need, the Redex Petrol Cleaner or Petrol Injection cleaner? Thanks.

Hi, I have a 2000 Mercedes A140 Manual Classic, and whenever I steer the steering wheel, there's a very slight play with a clicking noise that sounds like it's coming from the connection between the steering wheel and steering components. It's just clicks once during the first cm of steering...

Hi, I'm just wondering, can pressing your clutch all the way in burn your clutch or wear it out? Only my friend told me that holding it at the bite for a long time burns the clutch, but putting the clutch all the way in doesn't. I always thought it was putting the clutch all the way down for...

Hi everyone, Just had my car serviced and a few things came up and I'm struggling to understand fully what they mean: ============================================= All tyre tread are 5mm / 5.5mm - Both rear tyres perishing on outside wall - N/S/F tyre worn on outer edge...

Hi I have a 2000 Mercedes A140 Classic and I've noticed that on my dash there is an outline of a man in a seat and a seatbelt which has never ever lit up. Just wondering, why has this never lit up before and what is it? I can only presume it's a warning light for someone not wearing a seatbelt...

Hi, Does anyone know what could be causing this on my 2000 Mercedes A140 Manual? Whenever I turn the engine off, most of the time I get a really quick squeek that lasts for about 1 second, so it's very quick but quite loud. I took it to a garage and they told me it's the clutch that is going...

Hi all, Recently, I've seen sidelights (the very small bulbs) of cars being completely blue. Just wondered, is this legal? I've always thought they were only allowed to be white or have a slight tint of blue. Thanks.

Hi, Just got a couple of questions about air recirculation (air from inside the car rather than outside): 1) Is it bad to always use it? I know it may steam up your windows but apart from this, is there any bad reason why I shouldn't use it such as if it is damaging to the car? 2) Where...

Hi everyone, I've just noticed this tape around a pipe under my bonnett in my Mercedes-Benz A140 (2000). Any idea's what it is and how much it would cost to fix and is it anything to worry about? I can only presume that there must be a hole or something. I have circled it: Thanks!

Hi, In my 2000 Mercedes A140 Classic, I've noticed that when I turn my lights on the lights show through what appears to be scratches on the blower control (temperature). It looks like someone has scratched the black paint or whatever it is and the light is just coming through and looks...

Hi, I have a 2000 Mercedes-Benz A140 Manual Classic and when I turn the engine most of the time there is a quick 1 second squeek. I've tried turning the engine off with the clutch pedal down on the floor but the squeek still occurs. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks.

Hi folks, I've just purchased a 2000 Mercedes-Benz A140 (at 80,000 miles) about 2 weeks ago and it came with a 1 months warranty and already the clutch needs replacement. I got a quote from Warranty Direct for their highest cover for £37 / month which I think is quite good, just wondering...

Hi, I'm new here and I'm from Bristol :). I am 18 years old and I have a Silver 2000 Mercedes-Benz A Class (A140). I am a member at Baby-Benz, but the only thing I dislike about that club is that there's barely any active members so I found this club. What I like about the A Class is it's a...
