dashboard

Hi i have a small chip on the wooden panel just above where the ignition key is. How easy is it to remove the wood panels from the dashboard itself? i assume they are screwed on from behind - how do you get to the nuts? thanks Derek

All of the dashboard lights on my W123 are dead. Cannot read what speed I am doing at night, etc. Tried pulling the cluster and cleaning the rheostat, but to no avail. I even tried (as an experiment) to bridge the rheostat with a piece of wire. Didn't help. Now I know there is a relay of some...

Hi, I have a 97R C200 W202, I've had it from new but hardly drove it for the past 5 years as I have been supplied with a company car. I have had very few problems with this car, and I love it. Can anyone advise me if he icons on and around the headlight switch are supposed to illuminate when...

The woes continue! :doh: Noticed last night while reversing the car out of the garage I had no dashboard lights - the warning lights etc. are all fine, but the back light that should come on when the headlights are on doesn't seem to be working. Another strange thing is that my foglights...

Ok, so my C180 has the good old "sticky needle syndrome" the petrol guage and speedometer quite often take a while to start working, particularly bad in cold weather. Once they are working, if i stop, the accelerator needle sticks to the pin again, and so on. This is starting to get quite...

I have just got a 1994 merc w140 coupe. The problem is that it has a dent on the dashbord it is above the glovebox in the square where it says srs it looks as though somebody has thumped the dash. Is ther any way of getting behind it to prize the dent out. Please help as you can appreciate it...

I have new E class W212 E220 which is great BTW, but very small niggle. The economy graph in the dash only shows from 0 to 40 mpg, and surely Mercedes would expect a Blue Efficiency car to be able to excede 40 mpg. So why not show 0 to 50 mpg? On a recent fast journey on mainly motorways it...

Good Evening I have a 1993 300TD W124. All the dashboard lights, ie, Instrument clusters, heating controls & switches have lost their illumination but all the remaining electrics as far as I can tell seem to be working OK. I've checked all the main fuses under the bonnet and they all seem OK...

Hello all, My C180 has developed some sort of error within blower system. When I switch my Car ON it starts Click Click sound from middle of dashboard. My guess is its from behing the Cd player..Sound is like as if something is trying to open or is rotating. This sound stops after few minutes...

Hi. I thought I would share my experience of the dreaded clicking sound from the Dashboard. This happened to me on my C200k Kompressor Avantgarde W203 2001. Same old story, after starting the car, a loud clicking noise can be heard from the dashboard. After a minute or so it stops until the...

Season's Greetings to all. I need to connect a wire at the rear of the binnicle for dashboard illumination. Have tried it but only comes out an inch or so before it hits the steering column. As this is non adjustable (1990 2.5 16v) has anyone any ideas. Any help much appreciated. :dk:

Hi I was looking at a few cars recently and noticed how much better the cars with leather dashboards look. Was a leather dashboard available on the W211 E-class or can the be fitted by a competent upholstery company. Finally, any idea what the costs may be and what parts of the interior...

Hi all I have a 2002 ML320 and cannot work out why I have this particular problem......... During the daytime I can see the mileage and clock LCD display light up, even if I have the exterior lights turned on, the LCD displays still light up...........However, once night time comes and I turn...

Hello everyone, I just purchasse my first vito :bannana: but there is EDC & the Coil light always on on the the dashboard, anyway to remove them ? and what is EDC mean ? Thanks

Recently bought a w203 post-facelift (2004). It's great, but there are a number of almost unnoticeable changes over the pre-facelift which are for the worse. Some of the plastics seem to be of lower quality, and the dashboard just doesn't seem as solid as my old pre-facelift (2001). Is a...

2000 w reg estate Lamp failure warning came up, thought it would be the brake lamp as usual. However it wasn't until I drove at night that I realised it was the dashboard backlight. Got the cluster out and changed the two relevant bulbs. However problem is not solved. I did notice that when I...

Is it possible to get a W211 E-class to display the currently selected gear on the dash? I read suggestion that it was possible in some cars to have this displayed alongside either outside temperature or speed, but I'm sure it depends on model/year. Any pointers? I've searched the forum as...
