adjustment

Ive always felt like im sitting in the roof when driving my W124. The seat moves back and forward, and there is a twisty knob at the front to raise or lower the front of the seat. There is also a pull handle on the right hand side. In presuming this is to adjust seat height? I pulled it...

I've just dragged my sl R230 out of storage due to a house move,the poor old girl was packed to the roof with my belongings! Anyway,I must have knocked the little adjuster knob off for the passenger head rest control off somewhere down the line. Does anyone know where I can get such a tiny...

Now the weather looks to be on the up, its time I sorted my n/s wing mirror out. Last summer I was convinced that the master control switch for mirror adjustment on the drivers armrest was at fault, so I got a replacement and fitted it. It was a pain to get the unit out due to very limited...

Had a replacement automatic transmission fitted a couple of weeks back. It came back to me changing up too late with the advice to run it for a couple of hundred miles to see if it settled down. Cutting things short, it is now fairly consistently shifting up too early. To save going back to...

Hi, My red C is in the body shop for it's respray. :bannana: I've got a 15 plate B as a courtesy car. I can't find how you adjust the seat angle. I've found the lever to lift and lower, and adjust base angle, but not the seat back. Anyone know where it is? Thanks.

I can't find anything through the search function :dk: but was hoping somebody more knowledgeable than me would know if it is possible to adjust the ride height without replacing parts. Car is a 2004 SL350 on standard springs. Thanks in advance :)

Hi All - Have had my E220 estate for a few months now and have tried adjusting the rear seats to make them upright to increase the usable load area without folding down the seat backs. Based on the handbook, I should be able to release the seat backs and push forward then pull up the release...

Just got my 42K(mile) 92 400SEL out of storage and back on the road. Straight through the MOT with no advisories after a couple of months of evenings work.:bannana: I have noticed a bit of wind noise coming from the front of the sunroof when it is closed. Not much noise but enough to make me...

Hi. I have noticed that my nearside electric door mirror does not adjust inwards as far as I would like it to. Is this normal? I am just over 6 foot tall, so sit a fair way back. So if I were shorter, or if the wife was ever given permission to drive the car, it would be worse. Anything that can...

I've been scrolling through the threads and articles on trying to increase the idle on my 1992 300TD. It only needs to be adjusted a tiny amount but I haven't really got my head around how to do it. Any help appreciated

Hi Chaps, So another problem for the c63, hoping someone can shed some light. The steering wheel adjustment inside the car goes forwards and backwards but just makes a clonking noise when you try and go up or down, and subsequently does not go up or down!! Before taking it into Mercedes...

After driving the car for a week it didn't feel as planted as i hoped it would, a quick trip to my nearest tyre place (A1 Tyres) confirmed my suspicions. Before After Apparently the W204 doesn't have adjustable rear camber which i find hard to believe, if this is the case i'm a...

I have a 2003 R230 SL55 and for some time I get a slight rattle from the rear when going very slowly over light bumps. I have been trying to find what it is for ages and have now found it, but unsure how to fix? It seems to be coming from the handbrake cables that go into the rear hubs (both...

Hi I recently got a pre-facelift W215 and it has uneven ride height. Plugged in Star and adjusted the ride height within 15mm all corners. However when setting the calibration, it says values are not within range. Front values range is 2.4 to 3.1 Rear values range is -3.3 to -2.9...

1981 240td automatic with the auto box 'flaring' between some gears. Before I go into the dianostics, I need to make sure the accelerator is adjusted correctly but I can find no diagrams showing my engine! I know that if is is too long or too short, gear shifts occur at the wrong time...

I have a 1999 320SL that has a passenger door window that is tilted slightly too far back when closed and is catching the trim when opening and shutting the door. The automatic rise and fall works perfectly and give the correct clearance at the top so that is not the problem. I have found...

Evening all. My daughter's SLK 230 R170's driver's side window stops too high. I've taken off the door card and can see a couple of stops but the inboard one seems to do nothing at all. There's no microswitches in there at all. This car has been fiddled and poked with a lot so no telling...

Hello again. Had a mad idle problem, where it'd go from 500-1500 and sometimes stall, came right after I pressure washed the engine, so today after research I decided to clean my throttle body, which helped out a lot, now it stays about 1,1-1,2k and moves between there a bit still, but at least...

Hi Guys, bit of background first. Changed the pads ad disks on all 4 corners yesterday. Fronts a piece of piddle - easiest brakes Ive ever worked on - both fronts done in less than an hour. rears - straight forward enough, a bit more time consuming due to messing with the parking shoes...

I was wondering whether it was possible to redirect the water jets as mine are too low. I have looked in the paper handbook and the electronic version and can find no reference to it. In the old days you just stuck a pin into the nozzle and redirected it, but this doesn't look possible on the E...
