Bit of good news at weekend. Been looking at exchanging my car for a Honda CR-V. 2 months ago the P/X value (with 180k mls on clock) by a Honda Franchise against a new CRV was £2,500. On Sunday, i was at a car supermarket looking at yr 56 CRV (9,900) and the guy never even drew in breath...

Hi all, can the sensitivity of the above be adjusted by STAR. Reason is, just had windscreen replaced and now lights come on when it is nearly dark (used to come on earlier) and wipers come on too early and cause screeching across dry (Ish) screen. Had windscreen replaced 8 months ago by same...

Hi all. Just thought i'd pass on my recent experience. last week, a rattling noise began emanating from the engine bay. Took onto indie and while watching him, he hit the forward Cat with a hammer shaft and it seemed to rattle loads. So, the Cat was suspected (£650 + fiiting). Took car in...

Hi to all. Last weekend went to look at a replacement car (Honda 4x4) and asked sales exec to value my car. Luckily i'd washed it day before and it looked good for the piccies he took. I received email last night giving a trade-in value of £2,500, i nearly hit the floor. I realise it has...

Hi all. Car has recently developed a strange noise from the area forward of the instrument panel. After engine has warmed up, a noise sounding like a ball bearing chattering on a plastic tray when accelerating (lightly) and when lifting off, sound turns into a bird chirping sound, very...

Hi all. Started car last nigth after work and noticed the COMMAND was off. On switching on, it had reverted to Deutch settings. I never shut it off manually only auto when key removed. This same thing happened about 18 months ago, so, not too much of a problem just, strange. :confused...

Hi all, one of the jets appears blocked, other 3 squirt fine. As they are heated, i always use MB cleaner to prevent this. I attempted to remove inlet grill by removing the only 3 Torx screws i can see but, the grill still seems solid. Searched forum but no joy for a W203. Any ideas anyone...

Hi, Happy New Year to all. Had to replace rear tyres over Xmas, put on Falken 452s, removed Mechelin Primacies. Checked receipt for the Michelins and they had done 48k Miles. Just could not believe it.

Hi to all, trust everyone had a good Xmas. The fan speed appears very slow when windscreen de-mist is selected but, if i de-select de-mist and then select manual controls, the fan speed increases to full power. Is this normal or is there a problem?

Hi to all. Done a search on this subject but, couldn't find anything for a 203. The RHS of the ASSYST display blinks and after a while goes dark. Took it to Indy who removed Instrument panel and removed rear plastic cover was surprised to see that there were no bulb holders on back of panel...

Hi all, now the nights are drawing in, i have noticed that, to be able to see the heater, COMMAND, etc control symbols easily i have to turn the brightness control on the cluster panel up to max this then makes the cluster too bright and gives off too much glare for night driving. Is there...

Hi all, got a strange vibration/buzzing which appears to be emanating from the Top centre screen vent (Pear shaped one). Normally appears when gently accelerating not when revs have settled. Took out the screen vent and the center face vents but as most of you will be aware, there isn't much...

Hi all, this may sound a bit weird but, today i collected my car from MB dealer post corrosion repair (away for just 8 days). The manager brought car around and said he had to put a bit of air in one of front tyres and best to keep an eye on it. I said, thats unusual, although i check them...

The plastic cover around the gear shift (one with S & W switch attached) keeps lifting out of the surround panel. Now found out one of small the plastic retaining clips at front of cover has broken off. Looks like the whole cover along with leather gaitor has to slide up over gear shift...

Hi all, can anyone advise how to remove the pear shaped screen vent grill? I have a rattle and squeak that appears to be coming from that direction and although i would think it is just a case of prising it out, i don't want to brake it. Many thanks
