Please could somebody advise me on tow bar electrics for my 1999 E300 Turbodiesel. I only wish to fit single socket for motorcycle trailer use.

Hi boys & girls I know that when the W211 E class was introduced, it had a whole list of electrical gremlins which made themselves known from time to time. I know the "new" version (from mid 2006 onwards) claims to have been sorted in this respect, but they're still a bit too much money...

Does anybody know should I use a bypass relay when fitting the electrics for my towbar on my W210? Some companies say yes and some no.

Anyone who live in Newcastle Upon Tyne could contact me if you want a tow bar system with electrics for free. Well, not completely free in fact, I will need you to pay the dismantling fees which is approx. £50 - £75. Let me know if anyone is interested, cheers Geez! I post in wrong...

Hello, I have a couple of electronic issues with my update w202: 1. A few days ago I noticed the BAS light flickering to the beat of my sub woofers lol. And the coolant light was coming on and flicking off every so often. I read that it has something to do with low voltage in the...

Hi, I am about to get a detachable towbar fitted to my 2006 E220 Estate, but have been told that I need specific electical connections into the can-bus system and that someone will need to access the cars electronics to tell the car a towbar has been fitted. Has anyone fitted a detachable...

Hi all, My 6 yr old W203 C class is ill. :crazy: I have noticed for the past month an intermittent fault with the drivers door electrics. Everything electrical (inc central locking) stopped working for a short period of time. It then came back on without a problem. However, over the...

The wifes C220cdi estate 2002 avantgarde has no electric seat movement at all, its not the memory type, the switches are down the side of the seat. I havent checked fuses cos i dont know which one covers the seat! can anyone help?

Whilst searchig throu WIS they keep mentioning that before starting any electrical work and disconnecting the battery, you fit a quiescent current retention unit accross the battery connections. I persume that this unit which looks quite small in the diagrams is in fact a small 12 volt battery...

About a month ago my car had been standing about a week when i went to use it, it had zero power, not even enough for the interior light to come on. So its been left like that for about a month as i haven't had time to take it to the merc garage. So today i was going to take it to an auto...

I have a W210 estate with a factory fitted removable towbar with one multi-pin electic socket for the electric connection to a trailer/caravan. I have bought a cable harness to split the single socket into two 7-pin sockets, so I can run a fridge from the car battery whilst on the move...

This problem has cropped up twice now. We thought the garage had sorted it but obviously not! The windows don't work, the sunroof won't open and, crucially, the wipers are dead. It's an E220 estate on an "M" prefix. Anyone got any ideas what's wrong with it?

Can anybody out there help me identify why the following is happening on my car (W210, E class). The fuel guage is not displaying the correct amount of fuel left in the tank. When I fill up the tank, it sometimes goes to the top, and most of the time stays at around 1/4 level and may rise to...

Whilst on the motorway 2 days ago my newly replaced radiator (new tensioner unit which needed the radiator moving) let go of its top hose, emptying the whole coolant system immediately. After nearly filling my pants I managed to stop hopefully before cooking my engine. I refilled it and carried...
