    A Class W169 2004 Automatic 1.7 Petrol Judder Fault?

    Hi Chaps, I have an A class that has a strange fault. Quite often when I'm stationary it will feel like the car is jumping in to gear for a millisecond. The first time it happened I thought someone had just slightly nudged me from the behind but it is a very small judder, sometimes it happens...

    Rear light vandalised?

    No unfortunately not, all I need is a diagram and I'll be fine, or maybe the new unit I order will make everything clear any way?

    Rear light vandalised?

    I'm not sure what has happened, could be kids, could be a thief, could be that it just fell off but I doubt it. Can any one help me with a diagram or a pic of how this light unit is normally connected?

    Rear light vandalised?

    I came out to the car this morning and the rear LED light cover was on the floor and the unit its self had disappeared in to the area behind it, is access to the boot or car possible from there? Oddly enough I saw another W209 tonight with the exact same thing, rear light completely missing...

    Problems after front disc and pad change

    Ok and how likely is it to fail just in case it is that, airing on the side of caution here and more for knowledge, is it likely to fail all of a sudden.

    Problems after front disc and pad change

    Done 2-3 hard stops, I'll continue to use it this week and monitor, seems fine although I think if I press the pedal it will continue to go to the floor which is worrying, will check again tomorrow. Most importantly what are the consequences of the MBC failing and would it leave me with no brakes?

    Problems after front disc and pad change

    Thanks for all the feedback, I'm pretty sure it's not just new pads, I'm going to try and bleed again now, it was just the fronts I changed, I used one of those 1 man bleed kits from halfords, used it before and it seems to work well. Just realised I've some how lost between last night and...
