hi my E300D suddenly wouldnt start the other day. I got it started by running it direct from a bottle of fuel and back onto my garage. anyway, now i've attached a pipe to the metal fuel line IN connection in the engine bay (where the rubber pipe usually connects to), and when sucked it...

Ordered my new C220 today so looking forward to delivery. It seems my order was just in the nick of time, unless you want (and want to pay for) a Command system as apparently the Japan crisis seems to mean standard radios and some metallic paints are not available after June build. As an...

Assembling the Ford Model T........ Apologies if this has been posted before....... If, not, enjoy......... http://www.youtube.com/swf/l.swf?video_id=S4KrIMZpwCY

An interesting point of discussion today at the £4.99 Curry Extravaganza that disguised itself as a Scottish GTG. We often hear people say that a car would cost "more than it's worth to repair". Now, many of us own very nice, older cars that have not got a huge 'book value' if the car was to...

Hi, I have a 1997(P) c-class TD Estate and been having running problems recently. She starts no problem,runs a couple of minutes then stutters and dies. The filters were changed, one way valve replaced but on taking a sample from fuel lines, black lumps were noticed. Is this signs of the pump...

Hello Currently I'm after a part (a cover for the Glove box) the bit where the key goes (in grey) for a 2003 on E class I've tracked down the part number? to A 2116890230 ? Tried using the russian site but no luck or I'm not looking in the right place, then tried inchcape and no luck...

I have just had the priviledge of being shown a thoroughly corroded metal fuel line stretching from behind the rear axle to under the intake manifold. I'm told the fuel lines come as straight pipes and need to be bent into shape. Hence the rear axle has to be dropped and the intake manifold...

I'm upgrading the fuel system on my 300TD, which I'm going to write about on my diary thread soon, but in the meantime I have a question. A replacement tank was fitted a few years ago, before I bought the car. The metal fuel lines running the length of the car are both 8mm OD, but the tank has...

Hi All Grab yourself a bargain. I have full set of fuel lines for OM606 (300TD). Those are common problems on these engines and leak air into system. Please check post for starting problems and similar with W210 and W124. I have set of all white lines that go under intake manifold. I was going...

As the title says really - i have followed the great advice here and have a home network now and i want to make sure its backed up. I was hoping for an on-line back up just in case the worst happens (i.e. flood etc as i'm near the river). Any pointers on who is good, not too much money but...

Now with the car back after doing the wings (I promise I will post pics when I get a chance) but have started to notice a little drive line shunt - going on and off the gas at 10 -15mph in stop start traffic - sounds mild distant thud - not when pulling away or when at speed. I cannot find any...

Hi All, Just over a month a ago, I had a problem with my boot lock which needed a part replacing. I bought the replacement part and gave the car to a local mechanic who worked from home, Sati in Southall, West London. He had previously worked for P and S Motors in Park Royal, having closed down...

I recently purchased the ViseeO MBU2 from Alfie/Richard/Mark at Comand on line and just wanted to say thanks for a great piece of kit,. Fast service and great communications and a MB Forum discount. Highly reommended.:thumb: A question!:confused: Now I have the V2 all installed and working...

I have been in denial for a few days now. I visited a trusted Merc specialist last weekend (who fixed of my erratic idle issue) and mentioned in passing my long standing gearbox issue. The issue is thatwhen cold, it reverses fine, but when the car is warm and reverse is selected, nothing...

why does AutoTrader allow advertisers to "manipulate" the facts. If I pick up to 50,000 miles in the drop down box, up comes loads of cars with mileages like 88, 56, 97 with the 000 missing. :devil: Also the first few screens are filled with cars costing £75 :devil: :devil: These little dodges...

I'm doing a PowerPoint presentation diagram and I'm showing dependencies between activities. Rather than use usual lines and arrows I want to show the flow direction and want a line that looks like >>>>>>>>>> type - you catch my drift I'm sure. But PP doesn't seem to have one - just lots of...

When I turned the ignition I could hear the fuel pump whirl but when I turned the key further the engine wouldn't rotate. Waited and tried again but no joy. Then I noticed the attached on the carpet, it seems to have popped out of a unit behind the accelartor pedal. I tried to put it back in...
