behaviour

I have a 99 c200 with approx 130k miles Recently the gear box has misbehaved on one or two occasion in the last few wks. First time was going round a mini roundabout the gear box went into neutral and would engage into gear?! I had to coast to a safe spot, pulled over and stopped. Putting the...

My W212 is in for its first service today and I'd reported one issue with it that I wanted looked at: In cold conditions (i.e. <5c) the front window lifts are extremely slow and, if you open either of the windows partially then pull the switch to raise it, the window will sometimes start to lift...

Hi guys, I've read through some of the other threads about jerkiness between gears, but the intermittent fault I'm getting is altogether different. We have a 2006 C209 CLK 320 CDI Sport coupe which we've had for just over a week. The gearbox seems to suddenly decide that it no longer wants...

I am having a problem with brakes on my W168 A160, following refit of refurbished alloys. When I went to collect the car, released the handbrake, put it in reverse, the car wouldn't move ... okay, put back in parked, tried to pull the handbrake up - it won't go up. As I was still at the...

Afternoon all, My girlfriend has recently taken ownership of a 2005 C220cdi Sports Coupe (purchased from a friend), whcih she is very happy with. As of last night, it has started behaving very strangely as follows..... When you press your foot on the accelerator, the aircon blower rises...

While driving down one the several mile long straight sections of the A30 in my veg oil powered 200D (which I have had down rated to save on fuel) I happened to get stuck behind a steam roller. Imagine my shock when some teenage herbert on a Honda stepframe moped overtook me at almost double...

I have C250Cdi Manual which Is reving strangely. The effect is particularly noticeable when I accelerate hard from 30mph in 4th gear. The revs rise smoothly upto 2300, then they drop sharply down to 2000, before continuing again on there upward rise. This effect happens across the gear range...

Mercedes-Benz Retail Used Cars :: Vehicle Details :: CLS500 Coupe, Parktronic, Memory, Comfort, COMAND Went to look at this last week. Nice enough car, decent spec. Drove well. However, the bodywork is dire. It looked like it had just never been cared for. Minor, but annoying paint...

A few weeks ago I was sat parked up with the engine off (key position 0), listening to the radio while waiting for the wife to finish work. Any way, out she came, so I turned the key through the positions to start the car and nothing. Took key out and then back in again and all was fine...

Is it normal being a 34 year guy and feeling like Christmas is never gonna come. I am eagerly awaiting for the 23rd of September to arrive when I get to go to Germany and collect my new E350 Sport coupe with the new 19" wheel option and all the toys. I am a little upset with myself as I...

Weird thing. Daughter has same laptop as me, dell inspiron 1564. She was in the car earlier watching a dvd and claims that the trackpad "just stopped working". I opened it up and it was at the users page, can't move cursor. After much to-do i managed to log into admin profile (using tab and...

The other day I visited a client's site, one that I hadn't been to before although I have worked for the same client at several other sites. As usual, I printed out a local street map for the site's postcode using Multimap.com, and I programmed the satnav as usual with the same postcode. My...

Hello, I am having a weird behaviour on my morning starts ONLY. After the glow plug light is off the car starts instanly with very nice idle. When i put the first gear and only then the light comes up again and stays up for about 1 minute. If i leave the car idling and dont put gear it stays...

Hi all, Comand APS was working fine this afternoon. My wife got back earlier this evening saying she couldn't switch it from the Radio to the CD Changer. Sure enough when I went out tonight, it is completely unresponsive. Actually, it is a little more complicated than that. It is...

Hello folks, had my C55 for over a year and yesterday, for the first time, it started playing up. Cold start, in under a mile of driving it cut out 4 times. Started 'kangarooing' at one point and felt like i was driving with brakes on. each time it happened after i had to brake so at low revs...

hi i have 3 keys for my car 1) credit card key, which i carry on me as a spare 2) a normal standard fob key 3) another normal fob key but alarm button never worked (although it emits IR) the 2nd key literally fell apart a year or so ago but i have been able to continue to use it till today...

having had a few turbo diesels, I know it's normal to hear the turbo under some conditions, but I'm wondering if mine is behaving itself. Under some conditions, minor changes in throttle result in the turbo being heard to spin up and down quite loudly from inside the car. It's much more...

Okay, two posts in quick succession. I've done a load of searching on this forum (and others) but I'm pretty stuck with a problem. Since I've had my car (W203 54 plate C180K) I've had intermittent problems with the electric folding mirrors and mirror adjustment. Both mirrors fold perfectly on...

The COMAND units behave differently between my CLS and CLK. In the CLS when the radio station is displayed inside the speedo, the up/down arrow buttons on the steering wheel scroll through the radio preset stations. In the CLK when the radio station is displayed inside the speedo, the...
