Hello, I have a 2001 W210 E220 CDI which has not been used much lately. The radiator fan has spontaneously started spinning ( and consequently drained the battery ) while the car was sitting locked - the only way to stop the fan has been to disconnect the battery OR disconnect the power supply...

I've been having problems with my E300-24 lately. It cuts-off soon after starting and my mechanic reckons it's the Ignition Control Module. Is there anyway of confirming this as it's a very difficult/expensive part to get hold of. If this is broken, can anyone suggest where to get one as the...

Hi. I need some advice... My C200 1998 W202 (manual) is backfiring intermittently and 'hesitates' under acceleration... especially when accelerating in 3rd gear. I've put in new spark plugs, new air filter, new ignition leads and new ignition coils but the problem remains. I've no idea...

The steering lock on my 1988 W124 230CE is locked on and I cannot turn the ignition key to position 1 (and obviously any other position). The failure happened today when my wife was using the car so I don't have a reliable chain of events (sorry dearest). It had been getting a bit difficult to...
