broken

Hi I've got an 2005 ml270 and when I put it in drive the car drives great But if I try to use a manual gear the box will "jump it back up to drive/auto" As if there is a spring keeping the shifter permanaly right If I carefully hold the shifter and drop a gear it will stay in that gear But...

After too many boing boing noises from the rear of my W203 estate I finally got underneath and found the cause, a broken coil spring. Looking at Youtube's finest mechanics I'm happy they can be changed without a spring compressor, by lowering the bottom arm on a trolley jack after removing the...

Hi - I have had a misfire on my Mercedes S280 (M104.944) that i have struggled to resolve. Changed the plugs, leads, bought a new coil and swapped them around.... But its still there. When i changed the plugs i found the front 3 were dirty and the rear 3 were wet. I also had someone think it...

Found this broken spring on the drive this evening, at the back of the Vito Looks like a broken suspension spring, but it's too small to be off either our Vito or C Class estate! The spring itself is 10cm diameter, and the rod is 10mm diameter. I can't think of anywhere else on either...

Hi, All. My spinning knob thing in the centre console has stopped working properly. It works as N.E.S.W directional and push down button, but rotating it no longer scrolls radio stations, etc. It doesn't do anything when rotating. It's not something I'd expected to break to be honest...

And I've only got one. Seems to be the bit on the circuit board that contacts the batteries has snapped off. Managed somehow (it half worked for a bit) to get the alarm turned off. Now I'm able to lock the other doors manually from inside then get out and use the key to lock driver door...

I have a 1992 w124 300td which has recently had 2 broken springs near side front. The first time the spring remained in position and was found at mot, the second time the broken spring came out altogether when the car was parked. Both springs came from a Mercedes dealer and were professionally...

I know absolutely nothing about this type of roof as my last soft-top was a Jeep Wrangler and it roof was just a thin bit of fabric/plastic!! Now my problem is I've no idea where the rain/water goes it soaks into the roof but the...

Hi Guys I wonder if anyone can give me advice on replacing my CLK 2004 front shocks (gas type) I heard a bang whilst going over a dreaded speed bump and on closer examination I notice a broken front coil. Replacing it seems quit easy, however I'm thinking, its an 11 year old car, i had it...

hi folks, i've got a 1995 c180, had the handbrake warning light staying on and warning sound when driving, checked the fluid which was fine so went to my local non mb garage and they found near the top of the pedal where the brake switch is located a metal part had broken. just wondered if...

Hi all, Well it happened, gust of wind with the drivers side door open and a loud clunk. Door wouldn't close properly so I forced it, now the door shuts (just about) and the window doesn't work, so I'm guessing I've damaged the window mechanism by forcing the door shut. Anyway I've been looking...

Hi guy's, Thought I would pass on some info to help someone else in the future. As seems to be common place on ML270's my thermostat was not working correctly and was either fully or more likely slightly stuck open as my engine was constantly running cool around 60 degC. Having done a lot...

Looks like my W202 has a broken rear o/s spring. It's 3cm lower on the rear after one of those expensive-sounding metallic 'clangs', post-speed bump. With unerring timing, it's Boxing Day, I'm in Falmouth for Christmas and home is Oxfordshire. And to top it off, we need to be out of our...

Hi Have an E240 W210 V reg with a tiptronic gearbox, seems as if the gearbox is dead as slips and holds gears then when it does work changes really harshly. Fluid change and oil filter not an opition as I think there was water ingress when the rad split. Have got a preface lift car that I can...
