kick

Hope a wise man can help... I recently purchased a set of aftermarket headlights from a very trusted and reputable seller on ebay to upgrade my pre facelift lights to the clear lens projector style. Having watched the same item be sold 6 times in the UK I thought it would be a safe bet...

I have a '93 280E with a 4-speed auto that's pretty well-behaved generally. But I've noticed that when coming to a stop (e.g. at a junction) from a moderate speed, there's a noticeable kick from the transmission at the point it changes down (presumably into 2nd gear). Not very refined and can't...

Hi. Is it normal for the box to kick down at half throttle? When driving in "E" at low speeds on a flat road with the throttle bearly open I'm sure I'm pretty much always in 4th. Then when i open it up a little to half throttle It'll drop to 3rd, full throttle 2nd. Also from a stand still i...

I have had a problem for a while with the car (CLK320 cab, MY2000) going in to limp mode after accelerating briskly to overtake for example. I have finally narrowed it down to happening whenever the kickdown button is pushed. This will happen even from a standing start if I push the...
