Hi I tried updating my satnav software today and I connected a charger (my dad's which was probably not working right) and my battery went partially flat. I could not start the car or even jump it off. On attempting turn over recent clock tried to reset itself and the seat belt presenters stuck...

Help and advice would be very much appreciated. Having some automatic transmission issue causing the car to go Limp mode. Car would drive but 30min into drive and the gear indicator and driving mode (P,N,R, D & C,S,M) in dash would disappear and reappear intermittently but would end up...

Hi, When I bought my CLK one of my favourite convenience features was the power folding mirrors. Both my driveway and work car park are very tight and the auto folding mirrors made life a lot easier. I read on here that they can cause issues with the indicators/heater so turned the...

The car was reluctant to open this morning using the remote on the chrome keyless go key. Started the car on the gearshift button and got a red message on the dash with something like "key not recognised". Waved the key by the EIS and the message disappeared. I drove a couple of miles and...

My car (a w203 C320 cdi) has been into a gearbox specialist due to a bad change. He has said gearbox is fine, and the poor change is due to an engine fault that is reporting a false pressure/reading to the computer, hence the gearbox thinks the engine is at 50% power, when in reality it's at...

Sometimes when i turn on the ignition in my 2009 E220CDI the glow plug (coil) light in the dash does not come on, the car will not start, completely dead, i remove the key, reinsert the key, the glow plug light appears, goes out after a few seconds as normal and the car starts ok, any ideas?

Wife was driving home from work and I got a phone call to say the car (2001 S203 220CDI) was going crazy giving out fault codes and flashing lights like they were going out of fashion. After having a look around on here I worked out that the bulkhead drains were blocked (we had biblical rain the...

On my car the engine diagnostic lamp has lit up twice recently,the cars still under warranty so on the first visit they tol me it was a misfire on a cylinder and had changed the plugs,on the second time in they told me it was a loose wire.Now im not a trusting sole and these lads in the service...

Hi, Has anyone had to replace a flywheel to fix engine misfiring or stalling in a WDB124022-2C- with engine M111.960 ? This particular flywheel has the 4 steel tabs to trigger ignition via L5 and also one additional permanent magnet in one of the tabs so the HFM management can identify when...

Hi, My 2005 ML has (I think) an NTG2 command unit. It has buttons down each side of the screen and the telephone answer buttons are below the screen. Is this an NTG2?? In the serv settings it has blue tooth and I can't get into the engineers menu using the system, Lang.mand three button...

Hi all Only noticed this weekend (heavy rain overnight) that there was water coming in above the rear view mirror. W211 270CDI, 53 plate. Not had this before, but only had car for 6 months and through summer. There was enough water to drip from the overhead light controls onto the rear...

It’s taken me some time to narrow down, but this highly unlikely scenario has recently started on my 1997 SL320 with standard non-Bose hi-fi system. By setting the Climate control unit to diagnostic mode I can see the temperature of the refrigerant at the aircon evaporator varying between...

Hello, Finally managed to find a nice set of BBS 19" alloys and fitted them yesterday to my car. Driving it to work for the first time and hit around 40mph, the steering wheel is shaking more than usual and i then took it to 60mph and it felt really bad. Alloys were balanced prior to being...

I’m having severe starting problems with my 300d om603. So severe that it failed to start on the channel tunnel train last week. If any one of the two hundred or so behind me that were told to turn-off their engines is reading this, please accept my apologies. I suspect air getting into the...

Went to get my front wheels balanced on the weekend due to a steering wheel wobble between 60 and 80 mph. However, upon further inspection it turns out there is some play in the right near-side wheel. The movement is left to right rather than up and down and I was told I'd need a new track rod...

Hi all, I hope everyone is well. I have noticed for a while that there is some oil or diesel in my engine bay. Could it be the boost pipe above leaking oil/ diesel? Is the oil or diesel present be caused by the boost pipe not sitting properly? Or is it more serious than that? Pics...

Picked up a W202, that seems very unstable at high speed 70+mph. The steering is overly light i.e a tiny bit of movement makes the car move sharply between lanes, the car is also effected badly by side winds needing small constant corrections. The car has recently had both the front and rear...
