    W203 C180K (M271) Coil Pack Question. Any MB technicians in the house...?

    As far as I know one way to spot a faulty coil pack when you have a misfire (and no code reader) is by the white stains on the plastic indicating overheating. My car seems fine, no sign of trouble whatsoever and no fault codes (I do have a code reader). However when removing the engine cover...

More or less cured the 'lockout' problem by having installed the latest PCB, but still get a 'lockout' every week or so.

    House lighting - 12V v's 240V energy efficient?

    Constantly trying to cut the electric bill down, I thought that the 6 x 12volt halogen lights I have underneath the kitchen cabinets would nearly be as efficient as the energy efficient bulbs and LED bulbs you can get. Apparently not. I visited a mate who is building his own house and has gone...
