After a trip around Europe in my 2003 C220 CDI, injector 1 was covered in black death and juddering when idling. I put on the computer and injector 1 was faulty, so i replaced injector 1 with a recon injector with new seal, bolt and clamp. Started up and took on a drive this morning, the...

Folks My 300te 4Matic has started making a metallic rattle but only when in reverse gear and moving. Will not do it in neutral if rolling backwards or forwards or in any other gear. This sounds like an internal gearbox rattle as if something is being dragged over a gear ratio. Somebody...

Hi Guy’s This is one for the experts! or maybe not ? I have a ML 270 Cdi 2002 W163 When in icy weather I noticed it tacking a long tome to start up, sometimes as long as ten turns of the key. Once started it won't give this problem and will start on the button and tick over fine. I...

Hello all. Are there any N8 users out there? My 11-month old N8 has just packed up. One moment taking a photo of my son feeding his pet 'chilla, and then the screen goes off and no sign of life. I thought it was a bit strange that the battery had given up so suddenly, and my suspicions...

Hi Guys, The seal on injector 6 has been leaking and has left a black, hard glossy deposit around the top of the injector. I have managed to get the injector out and have cleaned the surrounding area. On inspection of the injector it would appear that the seat has become pitted. Does this mean...

Folks, Having resolved the slow responses on the notebook we have, I have now been hit with the main laptop seemingly dying on me! The hard drive is fine (having tested on another machine) but when you turn on the laptop, the fan gives the initial burst, the hard drive whirs,.... but that's...

I was feeling a lot better about the old girl so decided to give her a jolly good clean which I hadn't done in ages as I'd pretty much lost interest. She still looks perty don't she? :bannana:

Last year Ferrari and Maclaren were caught up in an epic battle to the death, and since then their relative performance seems to have been hampered, possibly because development of the 2009 cars were put on ice in favour of eeking out every last drop from the 2008 cars. This year it looks...

This is an odd one... Happened today, but has happened on a couple of previous occasions. What am I doing wrong? 1. Feckwit pulls out right in front of me; 2. I go for the brakes, and also the horn push in mad panic, i.e. mash steering wheel centre with palm of hand; 3. I think the horn...
