    Druk.

    Home again. What an excellent send-off for an excellent man. The humanist celebrant did a wonderful job - never had that experience before. I thought I knew quite a bit about Derek's life history - but there were loads of gaps filled in by the well put-together tribute - which I reckon DRUK...

    Druks funeral

    Oh goodness. I've been speaking to Derek on the phone since he was in hospital in January but, I don't know why, had not rung for a while until this morning. I rarely log on here, so had not seen the most recent news. I wish I had, because it can't have been very easy for her when I said...

    Audio20/Command wiring question

    Now there's a thought - I might just do that. If you can't beat it, join it :-)

    Audio20/Command wiring question

    Gadget Boy: You'd have thought so, but I can't find it. There are some reversing settings but none of them affect the basic on/off of the feature. Alfie: Thanks. No wires cut! I'd discovered after posting the original question that the signal is carried on the CANBUS, but had then wondered...

    Audio20/Command wiring question

    Sorry, forget the above! It actually looks like the reversing signal is via the CAN-bus and it gets to the Android box via a wire from the CAN-bus decoder that came with the unit and not from the original loom. I was asking the wrong question in the wrong place!

    Audio20/Command wiring question

    Hi - first post here for a long while! I have just fitted a Chinese Android touch-screen box of tricks in place of the Audio 20 in my 2004 W211. The Audio 20 connector looks like this: http://www.ertasvc.ru/upload/bd/ru/20080304124452_img2.jpg The Android box has an optional reversing...

    Crank position sensor stuck, W210 E320CDi

    Went for the Plusgas anyway. Then got a mate with smaller hands and stronger wrists (tractor mechanic) to have a go and eventually it came out. New sensor fitted and am just running it up good and warm to test all is OK.

    Crank position sensor stuck, W210 E320CDi

    Hi. I've not used the forum for a while, but I hope someone can help with this.... I'm trying to replace the crank position sensor in my E320CDi. It is a bit of a s*d to get at if you have big hands! I have eventually got the bolt out, but the sensor will not budge. I've tried by hand and...

    Is my gearbox kippered?

    Front flexible coupling should be a simple DIY job (it is in 107s and 126s) taking about 1/2 to 3/4 hour. Cost of OEM part at Eurocp about £35, I think. Steps: - remove whatever is in the way, probably rear support for gearbox (no temporary support needed in 126) or other cover plate -...

    German language help!!

    endtopf = end pot, which is almost certainly a back box. Can't think of any other end pots AMG would make, so I reckon you are safe to bid:)

    W124 300se ????????????

    Not meaning to be picky, but 300SE would be a W126. W124 would be 300E, CE, TE. If it's a W126, standard wheel offset is ET25 - not sure whether that's OK for C-class.

    Sunroof dropping

    It could just be binding against the rubber seal. Try giving the seal a good clean with trim cleaner and an old toothbrush or similar, then a wipe with silicone lubricant. Worked on my W126.

    Mercedes Model Numbers?

    Here's another source. Link It isn't up to date, but has non-US models (e.g. W107 300SL, W126 280SE) that aren't on Benzworld page. It also has paint, upholstery and other option codes (not complete, but quite useful).

    Cheap MBs

    Mark, when you say old shape for the G reg 300SL, do you mean a 107 rather than a 129? I'd have thought it will be one of the first 129s, unless manufactured in early 89 and reg'd in 90.
