dead

Now then..... I'm going to view (well, no I'm not, I'm going to BUY it because its a steal) a '91 230CE tomorrow. It looks very nice, straight rust free body, tidy interior & engine bay and it runs perfectly.....except for the gearbox. The 4 speed auto won't engage fore or aft drive...

I bought a 2007 S211 220CDI 10 days ago. This morning, I unlocked the car as usual. The lights came on. Put the kids into their seats. Turned the key, it failed to fire. Tried to turn again, nothing. Now even the key refused to move. I have now connected the battery to my tickle charger...

With the unit loaded with 6 CD's I tried to change to another disc but it would not play the chosen CD, so after waiting 5 minutes became impatient and tried fiddling around with it and mistakenly and stupidly pressed the eject button and of course it would not eject as it was trying to change...

Like it says, there is no power at all in the car (or doors for that matter !) need to get the seats forwards to get to the rear bolts. Is there a clutch mechanism on the seats that you can disengage the motors to pull the seat forwards or does anyone know what wires in the loom by the seat...

Hi All, The wifes slk (1998 auto 230 right hand drive) has no reverse lights (been like that since we bought it - which was funny as had an MOT the same day) and I need to get them sorted. Firstly checked the bulbs and fuse, all OK. I then pulled the shift unit and stripped down to the...

Hi, this is probably familiar to a lot of CLK w208 owners when the clock on the instrument display becomes unreadable due to dying digits. I dont suppose there is a quick fix (or cheap) for this but I think I have found an acceptable alternative. A quick search on Amazon under car clock revealed...

Hi all sorry if this has been asked befor but can't really find a definitive answer. Just got a call from the wife saying the car wont open. She managed to get in with the lityle metal key after having to explain in great detail how to do this lol. The main key wont turn and there are no...

Odd request but I need a dead (a working one would be a waste as it's to be broken) V8, ideally a M117 or a later one will do. I can't pay mega money, hence not really after a nice one but will collect with cash and give you better than the scrap man :) Please PM me if you have an old and dead...
