This may seem like a stupid issue/question...but i need to vent and hopefully there i siome miracle cure So this morning, before going to work, I had to get my Tax disc, of which I just laid my new tax disc on top of as I couldn't be bothered to open up tax disc holder. The previous owner...

Hi All, the front windows of my 300ce have just packed up:wallbash: They were fine on my journey out today, but seem to have stopped after i started up the car for the return journey. The fuse is fine (also checked it) as the rear windows work as does the sunroof etc. Is there a separate...

:confused: As the post says, I was on my way to work this morning, gently tootling along, then without warning, the engine felt as if it had lost power, then really lost power, silly enough I put it into neutral, engine died instantly. No warning noises, NO spluttering, just a silent death...

I'm after a new torque wrench 20-200nm. A digital one would be nice but is not absolutely essential. I wouldn't use it that often, just to make sure I don't over-tighten things such as oil filter covers, wheel bolts etc. Anyone use/know of a decent tool at a reasonable cost? TIA. Paul.

I have noticed this twice now. when towing with the horse trailer up steep hills, the car working hard when I have got home I have noticed what I think is small specs of oil down the drivers side of the car and around the front wheel arch. Its not done this when I've towed before but I've not...

This will probabaly be an easy question for those in the know. Dad has a CLK (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/members-gallery/85015-our-newly-acquired-clk320-cdi-avantgarde.html), and is looking to use his phone hands free. It comes with this connection in the armrest, and I've been looking...

Normally my 13-year old E200 works fine, but leaving it for a few days cause it not to start. After leaving it for a week, there were not even lights on the dashboard. Breakdown service tested battery, and it is healthy and charging correctly. Front passenger window not working, but it may not...

Hi everyone, After looking through my vehicle history, it would seem the V5 states a different engine number to the one MB have and from the datacard. Any ideas why? There are other additional items that do not add up....i.e like the V5 not stating it is a ML 270 CDI. Just written down as...

Cant seem to get the motion sensors to work in the slk. Miffy kindly put his star on and came up with a code of B1276 motion sensor fault. Ive changed the sensor to no avail. Do you think it might be a PSE problem????? The pump is dry and i.ve no fault with indicators/int light or...

I have a 2004 SL 55 AMG and the brakes are spongy and frightening at speed. The pedal travels a long way before anything happens and i am told this normal ? Has anyone found some upgrade brakes that can solve this problem or any ideas greatly appreciated ?

Hi all, I know some of you are very clever with these things - i need a new office desktop, a laptop, and a flat monitor. I am changing from using a laptop to do it all as i have found that the laptops get an awful bashing in my line of work, so they seem to fail after 6 months leaving me...

Hello all, I have a thinkerling noise coming from behind the dash when the Auto AC is turned on. I think its an actuator that needs replacing but I don't know how to do it. Anyone any ideas or the part numbers I need for new ones. Many thanks in advance. DME

I am thinking of fitting a small camera to the rvm with some means of recording the images on some sort of memory card set up. Problem is im not enough of a computer geek to know what i need:D Reasons are many chiefly in the event of an accident i have evidence for my side, obviously if i am...

Hey, My car is parked on a tree lined street, on the side of the road = bird poo, tree sap and many many leaves! I'd like to get a car cover but at £100-250 they are, i think, quite extortionate. I could just buy a tarp and tie it down, but the wind is more likely to get underneath it...

Hello! I have a 1999 C240 Sport Auto and when the engine cooling fan comes on, it has hardly any power and sometimes cuts out. Also, on start up every morning or when the car has been standing for some time, it has hardly any power then too. Anyone got any ideas as to what the problem...

Hi all, I am looking to purchase a Mercedes e class diesel estate for under 5k and I have spotted this ad on ebay. I am interested in the vehicle but confused as to why there are no bids being made on it. It has relatively high mileage but seems in good condition and the seller seems reputable...

Hi guys, Noobie here, been viewing the site as a guest for a while and thought I had better sign up :thumb: I have just purchased a 1994 E280 saloon, 67000 miles with 3 previous owners. It has been stood for almost 2 years and is just about to go through a restoration project! New wings and...

I'm at the end of my tether now unfortunatly. I fell in love with this car and bought it despite my mind saying otherwise. After buying a new ignition amplifier I've got a great spark, fuel to the plugs, sorted out the ht leads,got the firing order sorted, timing lined up with the mark...all...

Hi all, This is my C43 AMG, Azurite Blue with black leather interior (my preference, the Designo one just isn't my style), in terms of options I've got xenon lights only I think (unless the sunroof is?) and maybe the vanity mirrors? Not sure, Merc options can be weird. I have the nice yellow...

Hi all.!:) This is the second time im posting this topic as nobody replied to the first one?? Anyway here i go:) I have a W124 Pre facelift 230E 1990 auto. It has no cruise control, and what i want to ask is: Can cruise control be fitted to my car if i find the right parts and what parts will...
