Hey all, A few days ago i bought a well specced '93 320te. Plenty of minor faults as you'd expect on a cheap, complex, 15 year old car but all the important bits checked out during viewing/test drive. Looks to have been well looked after for most of it's life (lots of history etc), performed...

Hi All Any easy way to get to the coolant drain plug on a W202 petrol engine,my problem is my arms are more than half an inch thick so I keep dropping the b----y spanner there is not much room to manoeuvre yourself and undo the plug as well. I know it seems pathetic asking such a thing but I...

Hi all, I normally only drive my e270cdi(53) on the weekends, and have been finding that the car need a jump start on saturdays (first day after about 5 days break). I even put a new high power battery a couple of week ago and seemed to do the trick, but tryed to start today, and needed a jump...

Hi all, 1999 C250TD estate. Battery slowly loses charge. As the cold weather started I assumed the battery was at fault and replaced it. The problem continues. A multimeter shows a 0.4amp current via fuse #30 with everything switched off. According to the list in the fusebox cover fuse#30...

Twice now over the holidays I've had to call out MobiloLife for a flat battery (new one year ago). Something is draining the battery but what? I have three possibilities: UHI Kit, retrofitted by myself with expert advice and the least likely as fitted for two months now. TV Tuner - as the...
