Yes the interior lights come on when the doors are opened. I have followed the sequence to sychronise the key but it has not worked The red light on the dash does not light up or flash when you put the key in the lock I have spoken to a lock specialist who tested the key and said the key has...

Have I put this in the wrong place..... ?

I have a ML w163. It had passed its MOT and I was getting it ready for the winter. I took the battery out to give it a good charge and when I replaced it the key no longer works. It will not lock the doors neither will it start the car. I have tried reseting the key but there is no light on the...

Just been told that 4 of my five injectors need replacing.... Having them refurbished at £125 an injector. My car has only done 80k. All my other mercs were petrol and were well 100k with no problems. I though diesels were meant to last forever steve

When I brake reasonably hard there is a knock or bang from the front suspension on my 270cdi. Both springs look OK and I have replaced both drop links. Whats next to check ? thanks steve

Is there any difference in all those boxes listed on ebay. I have borrowed the 'Italian box' from a friend and it is really noticeable... more power more mid range grunt and the computer is telling me lies by saying I'm getting 51 mpg. I just don't believe the thing. Anyway, I'll work out the...

My computer says 43 mpg..... tested over three tanks full got 40mpg still not bad for a big car that doesn't hang about and better than my clk which gave 26mpg if I was careful

Glad to see there are still generous people around with a sense of humour.

I read on the forum somewhere that there are 2 power (bhp) outputs for the w203 270 CDI and you can see which one you have from the log book. Well I can't find anything on my log book that tells me BHP. Am I missing something?.... My car is 2003 thanks Steve

Garage says it the starter motor and will be putting a new one in steve

Yes, power when cranked which activates the solanoid

sorry.... if looking at the car from the front... that is top left. Once you remove the fuse you can see 52 written beside it.

yes that is fuse 52 ... top right . The feed comes from the relay and I think is the supply to the solanoid. steve

yest it was 15 amp and I did not have another, so I put in 10 amp.... it blew this imediately. Will have a go with a 20amp in the morning. And yes I wish I had filled the filter... won't make that mistake again. Haynes says it will take a couple of seconds to fill......... Right !

I agree... I don't care what the service indicator says.... I will change my oil evey 8k miles and write it down in the back of my haynes manual. Simples

The fuse 52 seems to have blown again this is the fuse to the strter motor :dk:

it did take a lot of turning over to get it to fire up. but why would a fuse blow. Do you know which relay controls the solanoid/starter motor.

This afternoon I did a full service including diesel filter to my c 270 cdi 2003. To get it going after the change I had to crank the engine over for quite some time before it started. I guess this was to fill up the filter. I put the covers back on the engine and then tried to start it. All the...

Fantastic.... now anyone know of such a person in Somerset or Devon Thanks again steve

Small point really but, I have a c 270 cdi. The computer screen shows KPH and not outside temp. There seems no way of changing this and reaserch seems to sugest that this is set as default for british cars. I s this right or is there a way of changing this. Thanks Steve
