Apologies

202 handles can be a bit of a pain to refit. When you slide the handle in and forward, the plastic arm on the handle slides in front of the metal arm of the locking mech, you need to get a pick in there, hold the metal arm in front of the plastic then slide it forward, so the plastic handle is...

Cheers guys, Gunna box it back up and run it carefully for a bit.

He's just replied saying his one has the same. Think that has reassured me slightly. There is no cream on the dipstick and has never had any on the oil cap until recently it has been sat for nearly a month, the condensation theory had occurred to me. Think I'm just being paranoid. But better...

Afternoon all, I recently discovered the ATF cooler was leaking, whilst investigating this, I found oil on the under tray an the front cove milled by the crank pulley. Well I stripped it all out and tech friend brought special tool to change pulley, the good news is that it wasn't leaking...

Pattern parts will be harder to get the gaps looking good on. Having said that, afte the 210 went out of production, the quality of the wings we got through went down hill remarkably. Get yourself a set of replacement wings from breaker, get them blasted, primed, sealed, painted(you'll...

Touch up pens will not blend into the colour of the car. They will take your eye off of the nasty scratch, but will still look ugly and a bodge. All paint that goes onto a car is "handmixed", whether it's a hand programming the computers in the factory with the correct ratios (which are...

To adjust the tilt of the glass in and out (toward/away from seal) there are two rubber grommets on the bottom of the door, remove these and there are two nuts (think 10mm) that slide on the frame of the door and adjust the tilt. Move the nuts to the outside of the door and the glass tilts into...

Pre facelift 170's don't drop and adjust. Can't remember the change over date off the top of my head, but think yours is a pre facelift so may be that the window needs lowering and tilting on the regulator to get it shutting flushly and without using too much force to shut.

I had this when I first got the '43, working at a dealer I spoke to mate, put in on the machine, cleared all the faults after a printout, said this was a short term fix and the problem was the gearbox electrics being compromised with fluid. The repair kit wasn't too expensive, electrics kit...

In my experience, at the time when rust was being repaired on a daily basis, the 202,208,210,220,'s were themain offenders, i couldnt say if a certain colour was more prone to rust as they were all pretty much the same. Obvously with silver 744 the most common colour, i saw a lot of silver rusty...

You'll need a hot air gun/ preferably a plastic welder to melt the lugs on the new cover, or you could bodge it with screws and washers.

Cheers guys, think I'm going to get a couple of guys I worked with at dealer to come and help me strip it all down and assess damage. If they decide replacing parts is the way forward, I'll bite your arm off for the bits. One has already mentioned using a metal fix that is machinable etc...

Soft top leaking? Door sealing to roof? Try and sit in it when its raining/get a friend to use a steam cleaner on the soft top (if it doesnt leak with that, it prob wont leak thru rain) and look with a torch to see if you can see any water ingress. If that fails to identify cause, then it...

Hopefully there's a pic attatched? :o This is the best pic i have of it i'm afraid, i know it doesn't show a lot, but it does show oil leaking from above one of the bolts. Any help advice extremely appreciated. :)

If you're not happy, talk to them, if MB won't do it under warrenty, see if the dealer will do it under under goodwill, you have just spent a lot of money with them and will be taking your car there to be serviced etc for years to come......... If they refuse, check if theres a buy back...

Morning guys and gals, I have searched for ths problem and couldn't find an answer, if there is a thread or post, please let me know. Despite working on cars, i'm no mechanic so i apologise for the lack of exact technical description etc... Here goes, after investigating a problem...

Cheers guys, I have a few friends from dealership on it, one has done the same job before and described it as "a f@@king nightmare". Something to look forward to I suppose

Evening all! New to the forum, however not new to forums in general or to the world of MB. Worked in an MB dealer bodyshop for 9years so have a lot of experience of working on rust. :thumb: Current car is a '99 plate C43, silver with the black and white interior. All of the rust was...
