intermittently

Hi all I have an annoying issue with my MB. Drivers seat most of time (!) doesn't move forwards and passengers seat doesn't sometimes (!) move backwards. All other movements work perfectly all the time. I'd rule out switches on doors, since I can hear a relay clicking in a black box under...

I bought my S205 last December from a franchised dealer with 2,600 miles on the clock (it was then nine months old). I've driven 6,000 miles since and it's already been back to the workshop five times to try to get this issue sorted. It first manifested itself in cool, damp winter conditions...

So I just changed my front brake pads and was doing a test drive and about half way through the drive I noticed it was harder for my ML to accelerate and when I let off it would decelerate quickly. I pulled over and sure enough both bakes where smoking hot. I let them cool abit and headed home...

Hi All, Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Have a strange issue where my parking sensors both front and rear stop working for about two cycles of turning the car on and off. Third time they start working. I can't seem to figure out what causes them to not activate in the...

I have a '05 CL500 and the two remotes have started to act up intermittently. Sometimes working sometimes not. Both the "Press the button on the remote" and the keyless entry are effected. I changed the battery in both but no improvement. It has just let me down completely and I had to use...

The key unlocks the doors every time but when I try to start the car sometimes nothing happens. Tend to happen only with the newer key purchased approx 4 years ago from Merc in Inverness. The car battery is good and the key has new batteries in it. Also when using this key the steering wheel and...

A little background: My old battery died and was setting my alarm off overnight, so I disconnected the earth lead... And then discovered the boot lock is seized and would not open without power. So, powered up through a boost point under the bonnet (up by the washer reservoir on the passenger...

Hello. I've searched the forum (and googled the problem) but I can't see anything relevant and I'm hope that the users of this forum may be able to advise me please... We have 53 plate A140L which has been generally very good, except that in the last 6 months it is intermittently totally...

Power Assisted Brakes Work Intermittently - W123 230ce The power assisted brakes work normally most of the time. However occasionally they fail completely and the pedal sinks to the floor. There doesn't seem to be any consistency with the failure which is annoying. The vacuum pipe to the...

Hi I have just recently bought myself a lovely C280 Elegance which drives sweetly and pretty quickly too. Alas I have noticed the blower does not always work and especially last evening on road home from work in wintry conditions the blower did not work and I was pretty cold. The blower had been...

Hi everybody, I have a 2001 SLK in which the yellow coolant warning lamp has started intermittently coming on recently. Everytime, I have checked the coolant level after each journey and it has been fine. Had the car serviced recently and the guy thought it might be the screenwash bottle...

Hi all First post so here goes Just bought my second 190e, had the head gasket changed but while driving (after about 20 miles I would say) the engine suddenly starts stuttering and then when I pull up to a roundabout or junction the car will stall and then starts again. If the car is...

Oil light coming on intermittently And then it goes off again... I've checked the oil level and its 3/4 of the way between min and max, so I would have thought thats fine. Or has anyone else seen this happen just because the oil level is not at max? BTW. Does this oil light just...
