changed

hi got bored and changed the dash clocks from sport white one to c43 white one looks good

my CLS had the twin jets on each side for the windscreen washer .. trouble was it was a nightmare to adjust and never seemed right the 4 jets simply would not cooperate. in Easter I noticed that my Dad's facelift 211 had the "spray" jets on either side so that you got "all over spray"...

Hi everybody, I have a 2001 SLK. Recently the car was making a loud rattling noise on start-up which then quietened down. The guy who services the car discovered that a bracket had snapped which was attached to the exhaust system. He repaired this by MIG welding it back into place. He...

Howdo All, my mate changed the brake pipes on the old girl today. They were pretty corroded at the connectors to the hoses and pretty much 'twisted' off where they had gotten thin. The MoT is due in April and i was originally going to coat them in some waxoyl, but my mate suggested changing them...

Hi, I have a 2005 W203 C180k with 67000 on the clock. There is no record in the service book of the auto gearbox oil and filter being changed at the recommended 37500 miles or 3 years. (However the previous owner did have a service done by MB that is not recorded in the service book as...

I had another gearbox problem, this time the error code was a low voltage on the battery. Gearbox specialist changed battery and cleared the error codes. I have just noticed that the milage is now exactly 10k less on the display. I rang the gearbox people and they said all they did was change...

Hi All, I’ve lost count of the number of sellers, especially on ebay, who include the famous selling point, ’Original First Aid Kit’! It’s as if they expect all buyers to be either clumsy haemophiliacs, or that this little information nugget was going to tip the balance towards a bid...

Hi There. Thanks for all the help you've given me over the past few days. Filters are all changed and the car is still coughing. Does anyone have any more suggestions for me? Symptoms: Above 60mph the car coughs and stutters and has a significant loss of power. Possibly due to a couple...

I'm looking around now (and have been for some time!) to replace my crappy MB tape player. It's only single DIN though and the whole fascia in the centre of the dash would need changed, as well as removing the cubby hole above the ashtray. Whats the score with getting a double DIN fascia please?

Went today to my local MB dealer to buy 1L Mobil1 5w-40 fully synth oil and was told : " we don-t do it anymore due to recent technical faults. We use now Shell oil " That doesn`t sound right to me ... Why did say that !? Im not a mechanic and even refuse to know about these things BUT "...

A few months back I had a bad puncture and ran on the rim of the alloy. I don't gamble with wheels and tyre's so I got a new alloy from Nick Mercedes at Euromerc. My Original alloys were put to shame by the new one from Nick so the search began to find a wheel refurbisher who could replicate...

Hi guys. Changed the pollen filter when i had it MOT'd. Sounds really powerfull now, but don't know where it's blowing to really. My front windscreen is a nightmare for clearing. If i put my hand over where it's supposed to come out for the windscreen there's nothing there!! Some suggested...

hi there put a new battery on the (sorry) Vito now iv no instrament lights, temp & fuel gauge , no glow plug light any ideas ?????

Hi All, I recently aquired one of these with 86k on it and a very clean example. Unfortunately I have ended up spending on it none stop and now can't solve one problem. Firslty, the car wouldn't rev above 3000. I overhauled the intake manifold, cleaned up the flaps and egr while I was at it...

Just a question.... but like, we talk about the high quality of yesteryear and we talk about how the new cars are high quality.. but what is high quality today? the fact it feels soft and spongy? the fact it has design flair? the fact the screws stay in place for longer? I dunno, but...

I posted a ...er..post regarding my c200 and the general(and much appreciated) opinion was change the MAF so today (I had to save up) I bought a new probe and fitted it...well it has made a difference! the car does pick up and go like it is receiving fuel, if you hit the throttle it hesitates...

As above, upgraded to the facelift type...quite cool. I got the info from a US forum. Colin.

Hi all, My 1990 W124 has been blowing only hot air from the heater for the last couple of months. I recently bought a secondhand Duovalve from a Merc parts specialist on Ebay, which was said to be working. I changed the valve today and its still only blowing hot air. Hot water is going past...

As part of the changes taking place to my black E as part of the Renntech upgrade, following the Renntech exhaust fitment a fortnight ago, i decided the wheels needed a change too. My first choice since i bought this car in 2005 was 17" Aero I's, w126 specific (as w124 Aero I's do not...
