Hello
Just thought it may be of interest my musings on 5000 miles in 8 weeks inside a E250 Sport.
Its a company car that i was lucky enough to have chosen in my spec and colour. It replaced my previous C220 Elegance which i had for 3 years and 85K miles.
Other cars in the house include...
Had car a couple of weeks now,so far so good.
The only thing that's driving me mad is the fuewl filler cap which always looks as if it has not been shut properly even when locked.
Can this be easily adjusted does anybody know?
Many thanks
Jst picked my car up- fingers crossed injectors will be ok.They asure me there will be no problems!
Just gone through paperwork - no service book.
Dealer tells me they do not come with one, as service will be logged on computer when wrequired/
Is this correct?
Hi all,
Well, as some of you will know I have been away without a merc since my E500 was sold (before Tax went through the roof).
Well, I test drove a new e class today and I am mightily impressed. So, dealer sourcing my spec on Monday and hopefully will get it before Christmas!:bannana...
Firstly hello all :) the last time I used a forum for a car was many many years ago when I was over the dark side driving B*W's.
Since seeing sense I have driven an SLK and then a CLK for many years and love Mercs.
Now onto my newish baby.....After a 5 mile trip, turned engine off for a few...

Grey seats, front and rear, usual wear hole in drivers bolster. Free to anyone who wants them, seems a shame to tip them. you don't have to all the bits, i'll get rid of anything left. Collect from coventry.
They are this pattern.
I've got a creaking/squeeking noise started on the front suspension possibly n/s (when in car it sounds like its from the passenger footwell). If you turn the wheel to the left, you can hear a squeeking/craunching noise, you also get the noise when you bounce the car. i can't find anything...
Some progress with the 1986 E250 TD this evening I'm happy to report.
Interior light staying on and seat belt light always flashing. I found a wire for the disconnected alarm on one of the switches, it tapped out as earth even though alarm end was disconnected - I suspect it had worn away the...
I have an E250 Diesel, engine 605.911 multivalve.
My fan belt is vibrating excessively. I have replaced the tensioning spring and damper and pulley but the belt is still vibrating.
I've heard a lot said about the freewheel pulleys but i don't think mine is fitted with one.
Does anybody...
Recently bought a '93 E250 multivalve, which I'm very happy with. However now i've had it a month I've noticed the gear change on the autobox is slow, mainly under hard acceleration. It seems to change out of gear, into neutral for a second or so, then change into the new gear. I've changed the...
Hi guys, i'm here again asking for some advise.
I think my head gasket has gone and would appreciate some advise from others before i take the head off to discover i've overlooked something simple.
I have got loads of oil in my radiator expansion tank and i think the oil on the dipstick...
I had to replace my oil to water heat exchanger after driving over a rather big rock and destroying it recently. I managed to get a replacement part from a breakers £55 instead of £200 from merc and fitted it no problem.
When i came to re-filling the coolant i seem to have a bit of a problem...
