inside

I need to remove the inside door panel because someone blemished the door again. The last time I did it according to the Haynes manual I couldn't align it back and can see the upper part higher by a few millimetres through the window. It got something to do with the clips holding the door panel...

I have recently purchased a 2000 SLK and notice that there is a small amount of rust on the inside of the petrol filler cap, and quite a lot of rust on the inside of the fuel filler pipe to the petrol tank. Not sure whether this has been caused by a clumsy previous owner, or whether it is just...

Not sure what is going on. 2 / 10 times my ML 270 will have no warm air inside and If I re-start the engine, its fine. Any ideas what it might be?

Hi, A day after i bought my used W211. The front driverside tyre was flat. I thought it might have been a nail. I took it to a local garage. An hour later i pop back in. The guy said the tyre was fine. However, the inside of the alloy rim had corroded. He told me he had saw nothing like it on...

My Manual states: "Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. without being attached to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunction of the vehicle's electronic systems, possibly...

While sitting in traffic the smell of oil inside the car is readily apparent. Lifted the bonnet and found some oil residue around the filler cap, looked like a small overfill from sometime ago, certainly not fresh oil. Used an engine degreaser to clean it up. Following day the smell of the...

I did not know if anyone has come across this someone i know took their CLK 230 into a main dealer because a warning light came on They have advised that oil has got into the wiring loom and as a result they will have to replace the loom and do something else which will prevent it happening...

Just finished my custom fiberglass subwoofer enclousure. I'm into my music and just felt that the Mercedes sound system needed that little bit more. I decided to make and enclosure that was not to big and in the way. I chose to use an Image Dynamics 10" Q series subwoofer. Its a very musical...

I have noticed that the inside edges of both front tyres are worn very badly. The bottom ball joints were replaced about 20k miles ago and the drop links around 10k miles ago. Could this be due to wear in some other part of the suspension or does it sould like I need to take it for a wheel...

In fact, last time I took it to the garage the tyre was well shredded. Took it to Nationwide and they said one of the suspension joints had some play in it so they changed it. I assumed they did the tracking after this. Trouble is my current tyre is wearing the same way. Its only the...

I have noticed a smell of fumes inside the car, not chokingly bad but noticable. Always have the windows up so it must be coming in through the A/C. Also after a run you can smell hot diesel outside the car. The car is an E320CDi 2003 Estate, has anybody else had this problem? It's going to...

In the week I decided to fit the new Kenwood Speakers (much better than stock) to my w202. After opening the door trim on the drivers side & looking into the round speaker hole I noticed that it was full of 1" deep mud - still damp! After spending about 15mins scooping out around 1kg of what...

I've found what looks like a mini-headphone jack inside my glovebox. Don't know whether it is some after-market fitment or came with the car. No reference to it anywhere in the owner's manuals. Any ideas? Anyone know what an iPod connection looks like?

Went to the garage yesterday because I noticed there was some wheel wobble at about 70mph. They took the front wheels off and, to my surprise, the inside edge of the drivers side was completely shredded (down to the wire!!!). Other side was OK. Garage were pretty unhelpful (it was just a...

I'm very tempted to buy what seems like a very nice W210 Elegance Estate, registered June 2002. Its a one owner car, FMBSH, 7 seats, cloth interior, 6CD, etc, done about 50K miles and has the 2.6 V6 petrol engine (I'm still confused as to why its called a 240 and yet has the 2.6 engine)...

As we all know there have been some well documented rust problems with the W210 and W202 models. I had an interesting discussion with a Mercedes approved bodyshop earlier this afternoon as I have been having some paintwork done on a W124 I own and we happend to get onto the topic of rust in...

I changed the oil and filter on my Jan 1997 C-180 5 speed electronic gearbox at the weekend and as expected the filter which fits between the sump and the bottom of the box had never been changed before. It was date stamped 8/96. Before my time with the car MB had changed the oil but clearly...

Thanks to R2D2 I have a new leather gear knob installed. Very nice compared to the original. Before ------ After ----- Sorry for the god damn loose change, it's everywhere!

...there seems to be a place for a small bulb inside the headlight knob? and I am sure that at night there used to be a little light on so I could see it? Or is my memory playing tricks with me? If so, is it easy to extract the headlamp knob from the dash and replace the little bulb? Rgds...
