dead

Hi Guys In a spot of bother :-( I own a W202 C180. My battery went dead and I cant open the boot with the key. Is there any other way to perhaps start the car or get access to the battery?? Please help :-(

Went to use my 05 E Class W211 today and battery absolutely dead. Not even enough power to open the doors. Used car yesterday and everything fine, new Merc battery fitted 7 months ago. Any clues as to why the battery is dead, tried charging but charger showing battery fault. All very strange

Hard to describe but when slowing down e.g coming up to a set of lights and as the lghts change when you go to accelerate there is a delayed response from the pedal. Does not happen all the time. Any ideas?

My beloved E300TD was wrecked by a couple of boy-racers chasing up the wrong side of the road at rush hour. I'm lucky to be alive. Walked away without a scratch ... Although I was pretty-much in shock ... and I'm still a bit shakey. Long live the Mercedes E-Class. I immediately went out and...

hi 1994 W124 OM606..... the car is dead. wont start at all - even on 100% diesel and lots of cranking. so two containers connected to the lift pump in/out ports directly - one full of diesel, the other empty. when the car is cranked, no fuel is pumped with the lift pump. can i assume this...

Just been to take the E300 TD (E55 Replica Diesel) in for a service. FMBSH 192k on the clock. Apparently it need some front shocks, ball joints, bushes, 700 parts and 700 quid labour to fix. It costs me £750 in insurance too as its on 3rd car insurance. The car has been factory lowered and...

Looking for a dead SL500 of 93 or 94 vintage, so I can try out various electronic components to fix my own car of the same year. Accident damaged, blown engine or box, doesn't matter, drop me a PM or reply if anyone has or knows of such a thing (as there are bound to be 100s out there!!!).

Recent error on instrument cluster ("No Phone") proved to be related to boot-mounted CD changer (becuase it is one element of fibre optic ring). Changer not working and when I went to investigate, I found 2 - 3 inches of water in bootwell where CDC lives. The fault is recent so I can only...

Pretty sure the PC is well and truly knackered Frozen screen last night, lots of noise from unit, not starting up (at all) It's a Dell that I've had for a few years now and doesn't owe me anything. Been looking at the all-in-one units and being a Sony fan, I am drawn to one of those...

Hi all, Went out to the garage this morning to take the car out for a run now that the snow has melted, i turned the ignition and all the lights came on but the engine did not turn over. I've not been out in the car for about 3 weeks, so I'm thinking the battery might be dead? I have a Honda...

S320CDI 2003 auto. This only happens after the car has been driven, then stopped, occassionally. Insert key, turn on, panel comes on, radio on, steering wheel moves to driving position, but no ignition. Parking brake is on, waggling gear lever doesnt help, turn off / on doesnt help. Remove...

...had some free time over the weekend! As you probably know, most of the W208 CLKs and the W210 models experience issues with the temp. and clock displays. I believe other models have the same problem. There is a simple reason for this. VDO are jerks and used cheap solution for the transfer...

I bought my W124 with a dead remote keyfob, and printed instructions from links on this site (how I found you!) about how to solder the switch back down. I know my limits, so I got my brother to do it for me - he's studying robotics at Uni with an eye on joining JPL, so he really knows his...

Apparently the founder of the German tuning and design house, Gemballa has been found shot dead in South Africa. Link here.

Hi guys I have a tiny little dead pixel on my COMAND DX and it's bugging me. I checked the WIS but it looks like COMAND comes as a single piece whereas all I need is an LCD display only. Any chance of finding one anywhere? Thanks.
