jump

Put two new MB batteries in my 270CDi two weeks ago because car wouldn't start and batts were goosed. Since then car started first turn every morning – till yesterday. Took four tries but then fired up. But after six tries today it wouldn't fire. Have called AA out and and am waiting on them. I...

Hi, Ive read through previous posts and there are a few similar things but not sure if they are related so please forgive me if im asking something that has been discussed before Im a newb. and dont really know a lot about engines, or anything else come to think of it. I just bough a manual '96...

just how brave/stupid do you have to be to attempt this? http://www.maniacworld.com/Record-New-Years-Eve-Jump.html Don't comment until you've watched the entire vid :D

Hi All Happy new year to all the forum members,I am asking this question on this forum although I have sold my Mercedes because the expertise regards information on this site is the best. What I would like help on is on Boxing night I travelled 25 miles to my Daughters and parked the car at...

OK just wondering if anyone here has owned both of these cars at any point. Car prices dropping have made both of these vehicles under 30k (Sl55's @27k 996 Turbos 30k dead) which means i can be really tempted enough to buy one. What are these cars like as a daily driver....fuel economy and...

The petrol retailers assoc are stating that the price of a litre of diesel will jump by 5p by this weekend due to refining issues. Why doesn't this affect petrol by the same amount. Surely the refineries produce both petrol and diesel http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7409166.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7404085.stm Is it just me or does that level seem a touch out of place whilst they are raising passenger costs? At least Willie Walsh has forgone his £700K bonus given the T5 fiasco. Guess he will need to downsize then? :rolleyes: Don't get me wrong - I...

I want to go parachuting jumping, at least once to see what it's like. Never done it before. Anybody an expert?

This is one "babe" you wouldn't want to help start your car.;) Try "the one" under video here http://www.goodluckchuckthemovie.com/ But since its Jessica Alba I might make an exception. :D :D

Anyone know if I will get any problems using my C240 to jump start another car? I seem to remember reading you shouldnt do this with Merc's as it can damage electrical systems?

Does anyone know how to jump start a w202 if you cannot access the battery from the boot and the central locking is Knackered. Just curious cos ice blocked my friends keyhole so he could not stick in his key to do it manually .Then the battery went flat and so he could not flip it with the...

For those that have not seen the clip of the Harrier ploughing the field :) Here it is! I wonder if it was an ex Fleet Air Arm pilot? ;) ;) (respect) Regards John

OK, before someone else says it, "I must be daft", got that out of the way. Now, the question, where do I fit the jump leads to jump my car to jump someone elses, as there is no way I am moving the rear seat to get someone going. If some wise person can answer my question I would be most...

Mum's car ('99 C220CDi auto) is dead this morning but the battery seems ok (lights, horn, etc). As soon as you try to turn it over, there's a slight click and that's it. The glow plug light comes back on. When she comes back from the hairdressers (!) in mine, I was thinking of trying to jump...

I have a 1997 S500. I have a small problem with the car. When i'm at speeds above 35mph and i let go of the accelerator the revs drop down slightly (just as they should) but after 6-7 secs the revs jump up 200 revs without prodding the accelerator. The problem happens despite what gear the car...

Ive got a Mondeo that has a flat battery, I need to sort it out so I can flog it. How do you jump start a car? (I know you cant use Auto's so I wont use the Merc). Do you connect + to - etc? Cheers
