fixed

As per lots of other threads I got the twin ABS / BAS ESP lights shine at me when leaving home after the SL had been unused for 6 days. Came home - read the forum :o and went to attack the brake light switch which made me notice my new MB mats had ridden up and were possibly blocking the...

:D :D :D I can't believe I did it!!! :D :D :D For all those people out there with a faulty 'easy entry' seat (mine's a W208) here's how I did it... I tried many combinations but finally I found one that worked. I can't guarantee it will work for you but it's gotta be worth a try. 1. open...

Right, my dash extraction tools arrived from Germany last night and so I got to work this morning fixing the missing pixels in my dash display. Temp is working perfectly now and the clock is almost there but on the clock side its suddenly gone dim and the dash bulbs wont light up either...

For a while now there has been a slight rattle from the drivers window - its been driving me mad. Thanks to the brilliant 'How To' on this site, I got the door panel off in a few minutes. Right at the front of the door (near where I was pressing on the outside to stop the noise) I found a 10mm...

A couple of months ago I posted a thread about a rattle in my R230. After a week in local MB dealership nothing was forund, so I eventually took it back to the MB dealer I bought it from. They kept it for 3 weeks and I eventually got it back last friday with the problem solved. Turned out it...

I think I've read nearly every wiper thread available and eventually got round to fixing mine and adding my 2-penny worth to the forum. Well, I've half fixed the wiper. It was tapping the plastic trip on the LHS so managed to re-align the spigot. However the "in-out" motion has never...

This morning I went through a red? amber? light at a junction. Traffic cops were the second car at the junction wating for the green light so they could turn right. They said it was red, I said it was amber. They were not behind me so how could they tell? They issued me with a fixed penalty...

Hi guys, some of you might remember me when i was moaning about my car having poor control on bad roads, and it seemed to want to follow the road, rather then where my hand was steering it. Well i've solved the problem (finally got time off uni) and it was the passenger side wheel. it had...

As the heading, was pulled over on the motorway mid October last year, was issued with a fixed penalty notice. I paid the fine and went to produce but could not find my photocard (I had the paper bit). They marked it as if I had not produced and said I will be issued with a court summons...

I joined this forum purely to try and sort out the problem of the poor radio reception I was experiencing after fitting an aftermarket (Blaupunkt) radio. After searching this forum the consensus seemed to be the problem was either the aerial amplifier or, much more likely, the aerial plug...

have had a problem with the aircon / heating for a while - was sure - ( been advised by many here ) that it was the duovalve but not keen to spend £180 (stealers price ) or £120 ( europarts price ) and find out all you experts were wrong. Today took the plunge and attacked it - removed 5 torx...

When I bought my 124 the air con wasnt working, as usual the seller said, it needs a re-gas. Went to VCC (vehicle climate control) through Georges reccomendation, and it turned out to be a hole in the condenser, and one of the fans was also faulty, £330 later, its blowing ice cold air...
