Hi Wifeys 1993 124 300TD is behaving funny, she has failed to start twice in the last 3 weeks or so. When it fails to start the glow plug light doesnt light prior to cranking. It cranks over fine but will not start. On the last couple of occasions while i was at work i have told her to put...

Hello. What is the best auto transmission fluid for these cars. It's a '99 model. Is it best to stick to Mercedes ATF or is there a better upgrade of oil? The reason I ask is that I used to own a Defender and bought some fully synthetic oil and the difference was great. The 1st to 2nd...

Hi there. Had my E-class for about 3 weeks now and love the the thing! There have been two events with the gearbox though. First one was when I pulled away from a roundabout from standstill and it would not change from first. I had to come off the throttle then it went back to normal...

Hi there. I have managed to find myself an S plate 300 Turbo Diesel estate and it seems a great car. I noticed that the two rear tyres were worn right down on the inside of the treads. The outside parts still had plenty of tread. Can this wear be caused by worn bushes on the rear...

Hi Guys, I have a very slow water leak. Thing is, I can't find any crystal like deposits anywhere to suggest where the coolant is leaking from. Any known areas to check? Much appreciated, Tank

I've done lots of reading on this after searching through the site and just want to think out loud. The 300TD was serviced last week. While it was in the garage I borrowed their courtesy car, same year, 300TE. I noticed that the gear changes on the 300TE were very smooth and seemless...
