I'm hearing, what sounds like, a high frequency belt whine coming from under the bonnet. It seems to be present at idle when the car is warmed up and increase when revved up to circa 2.5k RPM. It then disappears as the revs build... Anyone else notice this noise in their bi-turbo? Maybe I'm...

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, 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...

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...
