When my NTG1 is getting traffic news it can almost feel like the radio is not tuned in quite enough (that make sense?) so it seems to "hunt" a lot before locking on. If I recall I had the same issue on my B class but can't remember what I did to correct it

I'm trying to take the front passenger seat out of my w124 and the rear fixing bolt nearest the door seems to be spinning freely and yet still can't be moved. It feels as though a captive nut has become loose and the two are spinning freely. There isn't enough clearance to get a nut splitter or...

Bad start to our germany tour this evening :( Nearing the ferry port in Hull and swerved to avoid a lump of wood in the road. Unfortunately I swiped the kerb pretty hard, so hard the roll bars popped up. My front tyre is toast, still inflated but with chunks missing out of it. The wheel may...

Hello Does anyone know where I might get a replacement circular driver's door mat fixing clip in Pacific Blue? My old one has pinged off and has gone missing. The male clip which sits on the lug of the carper is bottle shaped rather than circular. If I can't get one I may have to consider a...

So, I had to take the o/s headlight off the W124 this evening to replace the check valve on the headlamp wash wipe. I had no choice but to do it in the dark and rain as I have a long trip on Saturday, and having no screen wash due to a leaky valve isn't an option. That my excuse of the...

Hi everybody, Very very sadly my W124 was smashed on the driver side by a drunk driver. The driver side doors now need replacing, and the mouldings need to be replaced too. The car is white, with grey mouldings. My evil insurance will not cover it, they see it as an economic write...

Hi, Got a little issue with the C55 I just bought. The passenger side folding mirror, does not fold! I have taken the casing of and all the wiring is in tact and when the button is pressed you can hear the motor click and engage. So I assume its just seized as I can see some light rust on...

... or whatever the correct term is ... Whilst changing my old scabby plates today two of the tailgate bolts refused to come out unless the threaded insert came with the bolts. Does anybody know if these are available or will it mean resorting to some DIY bodging ?
