    Rust coming through filler

    Last summer I had all 4 wheel arches resprayed to remove the rust. I had already treated the rust on the rear wheel arches with a hamerite rust converted, but that was presumably removed by the painter when he stripped, bogged, primed and painted the arches. Assuming he did all steps. My...

    W203 B pillar trim

    The carbon effect trim on the B pillars have a rubber topper to them, presumably to stop water getting behind the trim. However, I've just noticed one of the door is missing this trim. Anyway know specifically what it is called, and if available on its own? I've tried googling and an ebay...

    How do you start your car?

    I posed this question on a volvo forum when I had my 2.5T, and was quite surprised at the replies, so thought I would ask on here too. I'd never thought much of it and would generally just put the key in and turn all the way and start, until when I moved to NZ I bought a MK2 Mitsubishi Diamante...

    who's at fault?

    A mate with a stupid little 206 was involved in a fracas with a scooter last night, apparently Admiral say he is at fault, the police say a gray area, but I think the scooter was in the wrong. He was waiting to turn right, with his indicator on, opposing traffic had stopped to let him go, 2...

    Washer grill in black

    I have an arctic silver W203, I will be looking to get a new bonnet grill with merc star on it at some stage, but at over £100 that can wait. However, I had wondered about putting a black washer jet grill on in the meantime, in my minds eye it looks good, but in reality I'm not sure...

    rear end like a bossy wife

    My W203 C320 has been a bit "odd" since I got it, the handling has always felt wayward, lacking in confidence from the rear, especially as it was jumping and skipping over bumps when turning. I took it in to my mechanic suspecting a broken spring or blown shock, and asked him to check all...

    W203 auto downchange

    An annoying feature of the W203 auto box is that it changes into first before I have stopped, or in very slow traffic. Having had an E39 I loved the smoothness of the gearbox and the fact it would only drop as low as 2nd, making for a much smoother drive in bumper to bumper traffic or stopping...

    noticeable different after spark plug change?

    I've never felt a noticeable different after plug change on any cars (tell a lie, did have a misfire at 4k that disappeared on one car), but then they've generally been done within the recommended time frame. However, whilst my C320 came with FSH, it was stamp only, not receipts, so I have no...

    W203 C320 no power, no codes

    When I got the car 10 days ago, when the fuel was low the first night, when I went out it spluttered for a couple of seconds then cleared itself, for the past week, its been a dream. Had an oil, oil filter and fuel filter change on Friday. Drove 80 miles on the motorway yesterday, never missed...

    FSH, what does it mean to you

    I bought my C320 last week, with FSH, I saw the big fat envelope but didn't actually look through it. Yesterday I went to look through to see what has been done, only to find, it has a book full of service stamps from a main dealer and then an indie. However, apart from MOT history, there is no...

    W203 C320 stutter after start up

    Only got the car yesterday, had been ok, done several journeys in it yesterday, and commuted to and from work today without issue, however, tonight when I left the house to go and pick up our curry, the car nearly stalled, it started fine, I moved forward a bit to let my daughter get in, then as...

    W203 newbie

    Picked up the 2001 C320 yesterday, coming from a Volvo S60 2.5T, well in the past year I've had a 528i and ST220 Estate, so some varying motors. I was looking to get back into a 530i sport (or nearly anything RWD with a big 6 in it), but nothing near me was blowing my skirt up, high mileage...

    2001 W203 instant MPG

    Excuse my ignorance, I only picked up my C320 at lunch time today, seems ok so far, but I will have to sit and play with the display options tonight. However, on the 30mi drive from the yard, I could not find an instantaneous readout of the mpg, only the average for the current trip and...
