fixing

Hello all and Merry Christmas...bealtedly. CLK windows, when raising and lowering they squeak, judder and jiggle. I have thought of lowering the window, putting some silicone lubricant on the plastic/rubber surround of the window. My worry is I'll end up with grease on the windows? Which...

I was feeling a lot better about the old girl so decided to give her a jolly good clean which I hadn't done in ages as I'd pretty much lost interest. She still looks perty don't she? :bannana:

On my 2000 W215, the front plates are fixed with two self-tapping screws. Although the previous owner has driven these in in the wrong place, presumably to fit the holes drilled in the wrong place in the number plate, the screws do fit into the factory holes provided for them. These self-tappers...

My passenger wing mirror glass does not move side to side, only up and down. I can here a clicking noise, when i attempt to move it side to side, so am assuming that the motor is working fine, and it;s just the glass??:dk: I've helped a friend who had to take off his A Class mirror, and i...

The nylon fixings that hold the sill trim on have broken off, any ideas where I can get some replacements? I tried the local motor spares but they just suggested going to the stealership :( I've attached a photo, I need the pointy bit in the foreground. Ta.

hi I recently noticed that on the right hand side of my rear window the "purple" thread/stitch work has come undone. all it needs is basically stitching back into place, about 3-4 inches. there are no tears nor is the window broken. does anyone know which company in the Milton Keynes...

i recently took advantage of a free health check offered by sinclair mercedes in swansea. i didnt need to as ive had the car serviced 6 months ago but thought why not its free. i know that the car is not in very good shape but was a bit surprised when they were done with it and gave the report...

I've read many threads about rattles in the SL, and I've had my fair share of them too. On thursday evening I got the urge to investigate an intermittent rattle coming from over my right shoulder. Sounded like a loose washer and comes and goes when I hit occasional pot-holes. Anyone with an...

I need a mat fixing as when I collected the car one was/is missing. Its the piece on the actual mat itself (the top part of the fixing that is visible on the top of the mat), if anyone has any or knows how I can get one it would be much appreciated. Gareth

Not sure if this is the correct area to post this but I would like to know if anyone knows what the nuts fixed to the roof are. I have bought a second hand set of Thule roof bars for an E-class assuming they would be the same and with a little trimming to the rubber feet they do fit...

So I have four squares missing from my gear selected display and my lights on warning/tone isn't working. On the advice of my local indy I squirt some WD into the door switch for lights on and work the button in and out for a while. Test the lights on function and it works and almost immediately...

Hi there guys and gals just wondering if anyone else has experienced the laquer/colour coming of parts of their dash namley the button for the glovebox and buttons on the COMAND. I thought it was a really small surface mark but after close inspection its the actual colour come off slightly? Do...

I apologize if this is asked in the wrong forum.... but here goes The glass on my wing mirror broke and need to be replaced. I've obtained a replacement but still can't figure how to get the mirror to snap correctly onto the base. Has anyone done this before or know where I can find out...

I know that changing the headgaskets is the best solution but is it possible to just tighten the bolts in the correct order by say 1/8 th of a turn ? M104's tend to leak (to atmosphere only) on the rear right and the M111 at the front right in the timing chain area. The coolent is not normally...

I am mighty cheesed of having just seen my (ex) 03 plate SLK320 on a main dealer's forecourt for £5K more than he gave me. Not that I'm surprised, but when I was hawking it about the first thing each dealer did was to reach for the famous guide, or should I say cartel enforcer. Two very famous...

I have a small dent on the door of my Black E Class W211. Unfortunatly the person who did this was more inconsiderate than I thought and because of its position I dont think the "Dent Tech" paintless dent repair people will be able to get to it to push it out, so a £40 fix is unlikely. The dent...

Can any expert on 4Matics help me with a 300TE? I have had it into a main dealer cost over £1000 & still not fixed. Suspect faulty drive shafts sensors can anyone direct me to an expert??? :bannana:
