hard

I've recently bought a cheap winter car and went for an old E300 TD with 226k on the clock, car was running fine but this week it has struggled to start when cold, now usually I'd think glow plugs straight away but it isn't displaying any warning light and when I've been cranking it, it doesn't...

Hi All, Does anyone have an issue with the above on their E350? im not sure whether this is in my head or not, but my 2010, can sometimes feel very heavy eith in comfort mode or sports mode but in other times it works like a peach, nice and light. Ive had it on the same roads, in the...

I have issues with the hard top latching and automatic lifting mechanism. I will be addressing the hydraulics during the winter. But what I need to know is how I can turn off the damn buzzer in the meanwhile! I cannot even find it! Roof is latched, but obviously it doesnt think it is. Any...

Hi, i stupidly put a bit of ZX1 superlube in my fuel tank, as on the back of bottle it said it did the engine a treat, but think i put a bit too much in :fail however few weeks after the event i noticed it started playing up every now and again when warm it would just keep cranking but would not...

The EGR valve in my S-Class is firmly stuck in place -- barely moves a mm with all sorts of belting and hammering, and apart from the two screw holes there is not much to get a hold of. Is this normal? Does the fact that it is so stuck in place indicate that it is clogged up with carbon?

I would like to clone the 40GB hard drive from W169 NTG2.5 so that I can use a 40GB SSD drive. Before rushing out to buy a 40GB SSD drive (which exists but quite hard to find), I have tried cloning the existing 40GB hard drive from NTG2.5 onto another 40GB drive using various cloning software...

Hi I have bought a s class 500 L w220 as had to sell slk because my babe has arrived, the car has been fine apart from it seems to lump it to gear when I put it in drive , not really bad but a little bit , but then yesterday I was driving quite hard testing her out and I accelerated hard up a...

So the hard top has been in my garage for the last 3months but looks like winter might be coming back early. When I had the hard top on and it rained hard there was water coming into cabin from top right near where it joins the windscreen. It must be the hard top as doesn't happen with soft top...

Hi. My local dealer has lightened me of £450 for 3 sensors and misc since early may to fix spurious "indications" to fix the limp mode and dash engine alert light. Now they say "it's the turbo- sticking wastegate" and a quote of £745 for exchange turbo, plus gaskets, labour about £350 and...

condition immaterial, if see any in germany do not mind travel

driving along, relativly slowly, suddenly the airmatic is rock hard. Symbol of car on dash with up and down arows. Restart fixed, for about a mile, repeat of symptom. Poo.

Maybe this is a silly question but the guy who I sold my SL to has just asked if there should be any clip-in covers for the rear holes where the hard top 'straps' go. I must confess that the thought had never crossed my mind that they may have caps for when the hard top is not in use. Any...

I know I should just buy another with it on but I love my car and the chances of getting another C230K, non rusty, low mileage, C36 Rep with LPG is zero !! So if if i got a complete donor car for more or less free the same age and engine - whats involved ? I know its a dash out job but does...

Hi people, I have a W123 280E that has trouble starting. It usually takes about 6 good pumps of the pedal to get it started. Once it's running, it's fine and idles like it should. The only other things that has been happening lately is that when the tank is nearly empty it stalls often. I...

My rear suspension seems very hard even on the c setting? Also the handling is not good imo.

I am looking for one of these new or used

Yes - I know this is a strange request! But - I'm about to trade in my E class Cab for a new one and have about 2000 MP3 tracks on the car's Hard Drive. Is there any way I can copy them back onto a USB stick (i.e. the reverse of the normal process) in order to transfer them to the new car...
