    Loose tailgate.

    Hello. I've had a W202 estate for a few months now. It had a new tailgate fitted due to rust issues while the previous owner had it. Since I've had it, I've noticed that the tailgate's bit rattly/loose. I've adjusted the rubber things and this helped a little bit. Recently, however, someone...

    Loose Centre Armrest - W211..

    Hi can anyone advise? I bought a used W211, and on close inspection it had a slightly loose armrest lid. Not only that, but i also need to replace the piece of maple wood that covers where the cupholder is. Is it possible to tighten up the armrest without having to buy another lid!

    Loose Pulley?

    I can't seem to get a Haynes or Workshop manual for a V6 C-Class so... Could anyone tell me what this pulley does? The one on my car doesn't seem too solid (the other pulleys seem more 'substantial') and the belt doesn't sit properly on the pulley. Got this pic off the internet, it...

    Loose Rear end on fast bends

    On an "enthusiastic" drive back from Cambridge today I noticed on bumpy, fast sweeping bends the rear of the car seemed to move, not a lack of grip (was there in abundance :cool:) more like the body shifting over the suspension, like a worn link or failing shocker. Also noticed on bumpy...

    Loose indicator stalk and column

    I have a W210 ('98, pre-facelift) with the electrically adjustable steering column (works with the memory seats). Depending on how warm it is, the floating column behind the wheel onto which the indicator and cruise control stalks are connected is normally loose and will turn side to side when...

    Wiper cover works loose

    The bit that covers the slidey bit on my W202's wiper (see picture shamelessly hijacked from 996Jimbo) keeps working loose, usually after just one sweep :eek: It gets 'pushed' further down the arm towards the main pivot and the tapered bit 'rides up' on the round pivot cover. Given that...

    Loose power steering

    Hi - just got an old W123 220D LHD and the steering wheel has quite a bit of play on it. ie. you can move it 20 degrees without the front wheels moving. I believe that it is possible to tighten the power steering up to some extent. Can someone please shed any light on this. Thanks.
