ignition

feel like the luckiest man alive today! my key was sticking from time to time and refusing to turn, requiring jiggling and coaxing. Jumped online heard the horror stories of drilling and cutting and astronomical bills to replace barrel if key doesnt turn to position 1! You can see in the...

Hi, I am new to the forum and am seeking some assistance in stalling an iO Play 2 into my 2002 C Class Coupe (W203) with the Audio 10 CD Player. I have done a lot of reading and found out that the connections on the radio do not have a 12V switched live. I have come across a connection lead...

Hi, I have 24 V12 ignition coil gaskets new in the bags. Part number A 000 159 00 80. cost me £60 looking for £35 posted. There the red rubber inserts that go in the coil packs.

After three years of ownership I think I've finally got to the bottom of why I keep having to change my dizzy cap, rotor arm and points every year. When looking into ignition coil upgrades I realised that my w114 280CE has been fitted with a Bosch blue coil. The blue coil is a 12v coil with an...

I have a MB W126 SE 500 with a broken bosch ignition module. I was searching for it and the price of it... well... is pretty big. But I noticed a Siemens module that is pretty simmilar to the Bosch. The only difference is in the middle part of the module. Rest is all pretty the same. My...

Anyone used ht leads from Prospark of Bbt. They are supplied from eurocarparts or gsf parts. Average price is around £100 for the set. I was looking at Beru or Bremi which are the Merc oem supplier but they seem to be hard to find in the UK. Any advice? Regards

My car: W210 V6 260cc year 2000 When I insert the key in, there is usually a suction sound and then I can start the car. Lately I insert the key and there isn't such a sound (steering lock problem according to my mechanic). I have to wait awhile and insert several times before I manage where...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a ignition module for my SEC 500 from 1988. Part number is 0075450732. Have anyone got it for sale? Do you know anyone who can repair them? Thanks in advance.

Just ordered 16 bosch spark plugs from ECP, I was going to do the leads as well, where can I get hold of bosch leads for less than silly money? Or do I have to go to Merc and bend over?

Hi Guys getting closer to getting my first MB ,(2006 E320 sport) Im wondering how you guys protect the dash from scratches, going down to one key isnt an option as id loose the bloody thing. Is there a keyring (except those ugly old leather purse things) that may help? Someone else...

Hi All I am new to the site and I hope someone can help me. I have recently bought a 2004 A160 elegance for my wife, it had a few issues but all are sorted now. When I bought the car it had a broken key blade in the ignition, the car has been starting ok but I now have a new blade and want...

When I bought my W124 200TE a year ago, it only came with one key. It has always been on my mind to try and get another one for obvious reasons, but I'd also like to try and get a second remote pad as it's rather knackered. Any ideas would be gratefully received
