adjustment

I have a year 2000 W210 E320 estate. The dipped beam headlamps are aimed rather high for my liking, although this is easily adjusted by the dashboard switch. However the main beams are so high that they are only useful for aircraft spotting, and when the lights are adjusted (by the dashboard...

firstly to say what a great forum I have read many posts and the level of support that the members offer each other is truely remarkable. I wonder whether anyone could advise if there is an adjustment that could be carried out DIY to cure a problem with the softop on my mother's 95 sl280. The...

Hi guys, Can you adjust the CLK W209 headlights for Euro spec under the bonnet somewhere or do i need to buy that sticky crap to put on my lights?? Cheers

Hi can anyone explain what each adjustment does here? i know #2 is the accelerator pedal. What are numbers 1 and 3 for? my main reason for asking is because if i am accelerating hard (which i do when pulling the caravan) the gear change from 2nd to 3rd/4th results in a rev as it...

I'm going to France soon and want to know if I can switch my headlamps to the continental direction? I can't find anything in the hand book. BTW I have xenons.

Hi all Been getting an annoying whistle in the old SLK, finally got down to a proper inspection. I think the seals are fine and there's no obvious damage. The seems to rest against the seal ok, But it looks like the drivers window doesn't go up high enough at the back. you can trap a piece of...

Picked up my secondhand 53 Plate CLK Convertible last night and the headlamp adjuster doesn't seem to be working. The light cast is fine on Main Beam but miserably short on dip. The internal adjuster doesn't seem to make any difference at all - no visible movement up or down. Any ideas what the...

The headlights on my W210 seem very low since it came back from service. There is no dashboard control as these are Xenons so can anyone tell me how to adjust them please. Thanks, Boggie

further to my previous posts on throttle response on my 1985, R107, 500sl, can anyone point me in the direction of some instructions i could follow to adjust the throttle linkage and make it more responsive?

Does anyone know how to adjust the self levelling ride height on a W210 estate? Put shorter springs in the back and the self levelling brings the car back up to the normal height pre lowering, 2 inches above the tyre :eek: Any help/diagrams will be appreciated

I adjusted the accelerator cable on the 230K, I can say that its transformed the way the car drives, its alot more responsive now and kick downs better:p I recommend it to anyone to check it out:bannana:

Just wondering if any body knows how to adjust the parking brake on an ML 270 as its not holding very well.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

My steering column for some reason has stopped adjustment in the upwards direction. I first noticed this because the Easy Entry feature suddenly stopped working yesterday. On attempting to adjust the steering column to ascertain the fault I discovered that the column can moved in and out and...

The parking brake on wifey's CLK needs adjusting (I think). The symptoms are that when you release it, the brake releases but the warning light stays on. The only way to overide the annoying beeping and the bright red lights in the instruments is to (by hand) pull up on the foot pedal whilst...

I would be grateful of a step by step guide to adjusting the cable and linkages on my '95 E300D. I've changed the autobox filter and oil but still find the gearbox doesn't change up until you reach about 3,000 rpm. The cable/linkage set up is slightly different to my '90 300TD estate, which i...

Am trying to do the above without removing the discs. Does anybody know, using the 'clock face' , at which time approx., the adjustment screw is.

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the headlights on the Viano for driving in Europe ? I can find nothing in the menu from the steering wheel and all the handbook tells me is the headlamps should be switched to symmetrical dipped beam, information available at a Mercedes service centre.

...........or lack of:( My first fault with my car, the steering wheel adjustment will move towards and away from me, down, but sadly not up. Consequently, the entry/exit mode also does not work. The car is under warranty and I guess the dealer will sort it out, but if there is an easy fix I...

All the manual says about headlamps is they need frequent checks by the dealer and adjustment where necessary. It doesn't say how. The xenons are self-levelling but lack the cockpit adjustment that the halogen type have. How do I drop the dipped beam a little, as it's dazzling oncoming drivers...

Guys Just bought my 2000 w202, its got xenon headlights but one of the headlights seems higher then the other! Is there anything i can do to correct this..? Many thanks for you help in advance. Cabvw:)
