gas

Seems like the gas struts on my C-class estate (203) are due for change as I have to help them to lift the tailgate. And I know I'm going to bang my head on it soon, as it won't lift to full height without a shove! Are there any uprated ones available, or have the standard ones been...

I have an S211 without the magic powered opening tailgate. Can anyone confirm for me that the tailgate should lift itself up once I've opened it a bit? Mine will hold itself up but needs pushing right from opening to full height. I suspect the gas struts are getting a bit tired. I have the WIS...

We have no gas supply to our village, and we cook by electric, would it be possible to run a gas cooker from bottled gas, having the bottle outside, obviously.:confused:

Hello We are looking at changing our current Gas 'coal' look fire for a real log burner. I've been told (from a fireplace / stove supplier) that I don't Need a liner but would rather have one for piece of mind. Any idea what one would cost to fit to a std chimney 2 story building? Has...

My wife has just arrived for a few days and immediately lists the issues with the car, cd player not working, needs two new tyres, both issues which I can sort locally, but also both of the gas struts in the boot need replacing, are these an MB sourced item or is there a generic equivalent...

Might not seem like it, but THIS is really good news for the UK. This new technology gives us the chance to be energy independant for at least 100 years - probably a lot longer. As someone who has worked in the energy sector for most of my life, take it from me that this is BIG, BIG news...

I have this very irritating problem. Whenever I go to the gas station for refueling gas. The gas pump keeps stop pumping fuel like it sense that the fuel in the tank is full which is not full! What is causing this?

Well not exactly the boiler, but the condensate. MIL, called in a panic, no heat in minus 8. Went round no pressure...so filled to 1 bar. Still no go. Rang plumber, he said frozen condensate most likely causing water to back up. He was right, the condensate pipe was not lagged, so...

Ideally I'm after going with a company who doesn't charge a daily standing charge. If there is one, I'm a bit green with things like this so all advice would be much appreciated. Kurt

It took me weeks to get a boiler up and running again. The boiler manufacturer said the gas pressure is dittering too low between 16 and 18 millibars. He was using an electronic manometer. I wrote to E-On the gas supplier, it took them a week to reply today. They said it not their problem...

Hi All, About to attempt this job so was hoping if anyone here has actually done it on a 211. I see there are a few posts on how to do it on previous versions of the E Class Estate, but can't find any guides for the 211. If anyone that has done it would be kind enough to offer some words of...

Hi I have recently got my first car, A140 (2000) petrol. I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the gas pedal so that what it accelerates now when pushing it down 10 inches, will do the same performance with say 5-7 inches down. So the movement of the pedal is decreased. Apologies if I...

Does anyone know whether I should be able to get a four gas analysis diagnostic report done at any mot centre, or do I need to go to mercedes specialist/dealer?? I have a CLK 230K and need the report to try and cover warranty on failed cat converter. Help please, starting to pull my hair out...

Hi, My first posting, so be gentle! I have a 1992 300TE 24V with Diavia air conditioning system fitted through Mercedes some time after the car was new (not sure when). I would like to get the system regassed, but after an engine steam clean about 4 years ago the green Diavia label in the...

Has anyone done one of these conversions is it worth it? what's your opinion?
