The passenger side vanity mirror light doesn't work. I know that to many, this might not be a very important light, but in the darkness, i find it is probably the besst light that a passenger can use to read a map because all the central lights are too bright for the driver. I cannot...

Had the S class booked in with Olly @ PCS yesterday to have it plugged into his STAR machine, had a list of annoying niggles with the car for him to assess, what a pleasure it was to talk to some one face to face about my car that actually knew what he was talking about without just guessing...

Various faults are being reported by my car (CLK 500 W209) A few of these faults are real, some are intermittent, others where there doesn’t seem to be a problem, for example · Real faults – rear number plate light not working – which it isn’t – but at least simple to fix ·...

Hi all, I'm not too sure but I think my lovely motor has a case of the Gremlins!!! A few months ago I had the typical W210 Clock and Temperature segment failures which I've been too wussy to fix myself as I have a soft touch like the slag brothers in wacky races! Next came the speedo dial...

Hi, I am just about to buy an 04 cl55amg with 92k on the clock, prestine condition, full uk main dealer histor, last at 90k. Can anyone tell me of any common faults about this amg model? Also, i want to buy my own warranty as the dealer ( not franchised ) warranty is not great ie £2000...

Hello everyone, I have just bought a 94 w124 e220 and have a couple of questions. The "blown bulb" orange light illuminates on the dash when you turn the lights on. All of the exterior bulbs are working fine, however, I have noticed that the light on the fan switch does not illuminate, also...

I noticed the strangest thing while driving the 300TE the other day: Every time I pressed the brake pedal; the fuel, temperature, and oil pressure gauges all dropped down to zero as if the ignition had been swiched off, and the seatbelt reminder light started flashing even though I was wearing...

I got my CLK back from MB Leicester today, having had rust repairs. Now I have a few things not functioning as they should: 1) The interior lights don't come on when I unlock the car, or open the doors. 2) The passenger side window doesn't drop when you open the door, but the driver's side...

Got my car back from the garage. It went in for all sorts of strange happenings including various faults showing including, blown bulbs, BAS fault, SRS fault, instrument display fault, etc. These would disappear next time the car was started so having only owned it for 2 months, it went back to...

Some progress with the 1986 E250 TD this evening I'm happy to report. Interior light staying on and seat belt light always flashing. I found a wire for the disconnected alarm on one of the switches, it tapped out as earth even though alarm end was disconnected - I suspect it had worn away the...

Could someone recommend a radio to replace my original audio10 in an w203 2003 c220cdi, the cd part has ceased to function, in MPSpeak the parrot is no more, has ceased to exist in fact it's dead. not bothered if it isn't merc but must look aethetically correct. Col

Hi, For a couple of years now I've had a recurrent gremlin with my autobox. Whenever the roads are wet and salty, like they are now, I loose the use of fifth gear. After the roads dry, out out of the blue, it again drops into fifth gear. Anyone any ideas? I can't complain it's done 240k and...

Hi the audio 10 radio cass' im my 01 clk stays on with engine off, and doesn't light up. I found a car telephone lead and black box installed between the cars iso leads and the radio. I removed this and plugged back in the original leads. I read somewhere that a switched 12v cable is not used...
