intermittent

Dear all, I have a w123 that has a intermittent instrument cluster light! Has anybody encountered this before and can advise me on a solution?!! Thanks Cb

The car is a 1998 R129 V6 SL320. It is always garaged overnight, rarely goes out in the wet, has FMBSH and has only 52k miles (of which I have put on the last 5k miles since April 97). On most occassions, it starts easily (whether cold or hot) at the first crank of the engine, and runs...

Sometimes i have kickdown and other times not anyone with any ideas, at various speeds usually about 40-50 when i think i need it the sod wont kickdown and when im messing about it sometimes works.

I raised this subject last year http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/102155-e300-diesel-intermittent-rough-idle.html Now I have a problem similar to that on another car but only when it's nose down or after coming to a halt level or nose down. When it's started nose up it's lovely and smooth...

In this hot weather my 230 TE is misfiring, only intermittent, but not sure what's causing it, any ideas?

Evening I recently bought a 2001 W210 estate, 320CDI. Lovely car apart from one problem that's driving me nuts and is going to see it traded in if I can't fix it. Basically, there are times when it just won't accelerate past around 2000rpm. It will, given enough motorway, happily keep...

On my 2008 S204 the tailgate wiper has only wash and intermittent settings. In the filthy rain yesterday it was almost useless as it only wipes about once every 10 seconds. Thankfully the wing mirrors are excellent, otherwise I would have had almost no rear visibility most of the time! Is...

My left hand headlight wiper stays on sometimes when lights are on after windscreen washer has been used. Right hand one behaves correctly. Also this causes them to park out of synch. Any ideas ???? Thanks Mike

Hi, I've searched everywhere!! My 99 clk has a very annoying habit of not letting me open the windows!!! When it does this the electric roof is inop and so are the electric rear headrests!!! Every now and then, an audible clicking comes from behind the start key panel, the roof retract button...

Around 4 months ago the right speaker stopped working for a day completely and then all of a sudden decided to work again. It has been fine since but over the last few days it has started to intermittently only produce music from the left side again but this time only when the iphone is...

My car occasionally feels a bit lethargic - it seems like a gearbox problem with it not wanting to hold revs and changing up early. It happened again today for about 5 minutes so by messing about with the manual shifter managed to deduce that it is rev limited to circa 3000rpm when this...

Ok, here goes - Please bear in mind that I'm new to MBs and have just got mine back from the dealer, who has been sorting some minor problems out. One of the problems was that the offside headlight was out (a minor thing?) when the car was delivered the light was out, despite having had...

I have 1994 E320. Engine runs fine a smooth, but it has started to suffer intermittent power loss. Revs start to drop about once every couple of minutes (both when at idle and under power). Unless at idle it doesn't stall, and it can be caught with the throttle. I've done a search but...

The following occurs intermittently , say , 1 in 5 times it only occurs from cold and lasts for just a minute maximum it is apparent during stop start driving but undetectable when on the move On start up from cold the revs rise and fall from approx 700rpm to 1000rpm no problem when in P or...

Hi My rear o/s sidelight fails from time to time. It's not the bulb, as swapping with the n/s one shows the bulb is working. Fiddling with the seating appears to make no difference, then it starts working again. And so the cycle goes on. Anyone any thought? Fuses are all good. Cheers...

switched on the engine this morning after being off for 12 hrs. immediately the electric fan switched on even though the engine was cold. when i went to put the car in drive she moved but i noticed that the S and M indicator light was not showing on the intruement panel. i switched her off and...

Hi, I have intermittent lighting on the RHS of my heater controls: (2 x thumbwheel, 2 x circular dial type with heated rear window/EC/recirculate buttons in the middle) I have searched the archives and found posts relating to changing bulbs but none regarding my issue. It looks like there...

hi on my silver W124 the outside temp guage sometimes reads a very low number (ie -7.0 degrees) and sometimes the display goes off completely for a few seconds. 70% of the time it displays the correct value. Is this likely to be the sensor starting to die (ie the part fixed to the front...

Got the ce on the road and will be my daily driver for a few weeks. Couple of issues I'm wondering if anyone can help. The intermittent wiper setting doesn't work. All other wiper and indicators all ok. Light on the clock is out- what type of bulb? The windscreen blower doesnt seem to...

Hi A work colleague has a 2001 c220 cdi and it let him down the other evening saying that battery low alternator npt charging etc etc. He got towed to my house and i checked her out and sure enough wasn't charging. I decided i would take the alternator off for him ( what a pain in the...
