conundrum

I have a 2015 W205 C63S estate currently with the AMG sports seats. Brilliant car and great seats albeit the fake cutaways for a harness are a bit silly despite me liking the look of them. However for various reasons I am due to swap this out for a convertible (same car - C63S) shortly and...

Hi Fellow Mercedes owners, I have am having a bit of a nightmare with the rear parking sensors on my fairly recently acquired E320 CDi Estate (a facelift version from December 2006). I have the usual issue with the two red lights on the displays and sensors not working. Plugging in my...

A little advice required please fellow forum members: My parents [aged 83 and 78] have just moved back to the UK having spent the last 12 years in Ireland. I've found them somewhere to live and now a small runaround so they can get themselves around, but here is the rub - although they have...

Hi all. I have a 2006 W169 A170 manual. At odd times the car won't turn over although all dash & lights seem to be okay. Typically, I'll go back to it after 15 mins and it'll start. It got to the point where it just wouldn't start, so, I charged the battery overnight and it worked. Each day...

Hello I am negotiating to purchase a CLK cabriolet (with FMBSH) and the dealer is offering the car with a Repair Warranty by a company called Vehicle Guarantee Services (VGS) Ltd. From everything I know about these types of warranties and especially that I have read about VGS these...

Hi, hope someone can advise. MB 124 220ce 1993 eng. 111.9 SRS light on permanently Took car in for a star diagnostic but they didn't have the connector for a 16 pin analogue. I made a Blink tester and am getting strange readings. (Have tested circuitry/switch/led on blink tester a...

I have a MY2000 E320 CDI, which is probably well into its retirement years. The 'Coolant Check Level' warning came up the other day, initially intermittently and now every time it starts. There is no obvious leakage, and the operating temperature rises steadily [but quicker than before?]...

`Ello folks, When a clutch wears - or is nearing the end of it`s life - does the `bite` point (the point at which the clutch engages/disengages) move up or down relative to pedal movement? ie: do you have to push the pedal down further to disengage or does it disengage with less pedal travel...

I have seen threads on this topic however none seem to directly relate, so apologies for potential duplication on my part. Dec 2007 registration on my C200k (cl203) and the bitter looking “Service B due” on the dashboard is now flashing on every engine start. This is my first experience with...

Hello all! I've been sniffing around the forums, and pinching snippets of other people's advice, for a week or so now, but have decided it's time to join!! I'm running a 2000 W210 E320CDi, which is my luxury (if slightly rusty!) workhorse taking me up and down the country in comfort...

Hello I have just bought a new set of wheels for my W208 CLK. They are Front: 8.5x19 ET43 Rear: 9.5x19 ET45 Now I know the ideal offset for the CLK is around 32-35, but I really want to avoid using huge spacers, do you think I may just about get away with a 5mm spacer front and back...

Hello all - Can any members explain the following conundrum and possible offer advise.:dk: I purchased an 09 CLK 220 Cdi from MB Stockport in late May this year,under the approved used programme.I went to great pains to ensure that the electronic service sheet was as up to date as possible -...

Hi all. my wife's S210 E320 petrol, seems to have a peculiar affliction. on cold mornings; when we start and drive off (with or without warming up) the car seems stuck in 2nd gear. after a bit of a drive; if switched off and allowed to rest for a few minutes; it reverts back to smooth...

Hi, Whats your thoughts on the following: passenger side electric window doesnt work, fuse isn't blown, can the switches wear out or is it as fatal as the motor knackered? thanks

Just recently, my Powerbook G4 is booting very slowly (6 mins - it used to be about 30 seconds). No reason, no changes - just started happening. Anyway, did the usuals - reset PMU, zapped PRAM, ran Onyx, Disk utility, repaired permissions. No luck. So, I decided to boot from the OSX...

Currently have 265/40 on 18*9 rims fitted to the rear of my S500 Needing to change tyres but options are very limited at this size. On that basis I could go up or down a width. Dropping or raising a profile size doesn't fit the maths as far as I can see. So, do I look at 255/40 or 275/40 ?

Still sorting out issues with the purchase of a new SLK, then I saw something in the paperwork that makes me wonder if it is reasonable or unreasonable for me to hold Mercedes Benz to contract on. According to the Salesman a new set of prices are due to come out at the end of September and the...

A couple of weeks ago we were loaned an SLK200 Komp by our local dealership. My wife, Angie, was quite smitten by it and is now considering replacing her R56 MINI Cooper S with one. Personally I though the 200K was a bit feeble for a sports car - apologies to anyone who is a happy owner of a...

I recdently bought a 1994 E320 W124 Coupe. I knew the drivers seat was floppy, and the passenger side was jammed in the locked position. Dealer offered to put a fresh MOT on the vehicle prior to collection. This was duly done and the car collected. However, I now know the floppy seat backs...
