After my C250 Sport was fitted new injectors (ref the BE Injector issue that pretty much everyone here knows about), I noticed that the 'Sport' mode button I have, now changes the gearbox into sport mode too. Anyone else notice this? Most likely as a result of some software change they've...

Hiyas, The AMG gearknob in my C32 is worn. When I bought the car approximately 25% of the aluminum on the knob has worn away (leather is still A1 though). After looking round the web I can only seem to find none original replacements that cost too much. As I think I will be waiting a long...

My wife's mini the keys stopped unlocking the car, I managed to fix it :bannana: by re-booting the car !!!!!!! (what happened to the old days when you could fix cars......) if the above happens to you the fix is, 1. Find the battery (in the boot) disconnect the negative terminal (black one)...

Hello, I am attempting to fix my Mercedes 190e head gasket and have been following a Haynes manual and so far so good until now! It says disconnect the exhaust from the engine block but the 2 bolts that hold it on are set hard and will not budge. I have tried wd 40 and nothing.. It is so...

Futile attempts by the selling dealer to fix non-operative driver and passsenger heated seats on our 1995 W124 cabrio means my money is now on failed heater elements being the culprit - budgetry constraints apparently restrict his mechanic to simply checking fuses, connections etc. rather than...
