the idle control valve on my 260e keeps opening and shutting causing the engine to surge, its not the valve as i have now tried three of them to cure the problem, and i can see whats happening by plugging in a valve not attached to the engine, looking at the wiring diagram, the two wires that...

Yesterday on the A1 I lost power and had a BANG BANG BANG. Turned out to be an injector seized open. The fuel (and plenty of it!) was pre-igniting. Engine survived. I keep having to repair stuff to keep this w124 going. I was wondering what next after replacing small items like the head gasket...

hi all, bit of a disaster today... On Sat, our A150 (W169) conked out, a mile or so down the road, and would not restart. Turned over fine, just wouldn't start. Mobilo (who were excellent) recovered it to Robinsons, the local MB dealer here (whence it was bought, and where it's always been...

The Horn on my ML has died. I've checked the fuses under the bonnet and in the footwell (there doesn't appear to be one for the horn in the footwell) and the relay. Anyone had this before or has any suggestions? Thanks
