intermitant

My Vito is brill, but.... every so often it will crank but not fire. 20 minutes checking (remove/clean/refit) relays and after a wait it fires up. Now it seems to happen often after Ive put fuel in but that may be a red herring. This van starts first turn virtually everytime except for this...

Not sure what's going on but recently for some bizarre reason the Satnav screen keeps going blank. If I put the car into the the Park or neutral position it comes back on, it also comes back on when I press the accelerator. It's got to be some signal type problem but I don't know where to...

Hi all, I have had a problem for quite a while now, the car seems to jolt/jerk when changing into 2nd to 3rd gear. The car also seems to grumble when doing this .....the revs also sometimes surge while driving at a steady speed - not much maybe 100rpm. The above only happens every now and then...

Hi, I just purchased a (registered June '07) 2007 SL500. The COMAND unit has a complete mind of its own. It mostly stays off, but randomly switches on for between 5 secs and 2 mins - occasionally it functions fine for the 2 mins, but mostly it just toggles on and off randomly. The CD changer...

Hello gents, Any pointers on this one: I've just bought a 01/51 SLK230 manual and the speedometer will occasinally die along wih the oddometer, ABS light comes on. This occurs perhaps one in five times of switching the car on. Is the ABS sensor the most probable cause? Thanks, Alex.

Hi Forum - Drove up to Banbury today from Oxford and my "E" class 270cdi on 54 plate - 114 K miles was its usual reliable self cruising along at a steady 60mph. Hit a bit of traffic and t/lights when I noticed the engine would not rev over 3 and half rpm! - no kick down and very poor...

Ok, I did write a long and eloquent thread earlier, but the stupid webpage/site timed out and I lost it, Grrrrrrr. So needless to say I'm not gonna bother again! Anyone else had this fault, and what was your fix???

.....as I'd have been warned about that stupid 3ft tall steel post sticking out in the car par right in my blind spot as I was reversing back a bit. The damage looked bad at first glance, lamp lense gone, bumper hanging off... :wallbash::wallbash: I was just moving slightly to be helpful to...
