loses

Problem started a few weeks ago. The sat nav is a built-in unit in a 2011 C220 CDI and it intermittently loses its location so when the car moves it really gets its knickers in a twist! This can last for minutes or days, but it eventually recovers itself. I put a TomTom in the car and this too...

Hi, I have a vaneo 1.7cdi trend 7 seater. 03. I have discovered that when on the motorway if there's a slight incline there is no power in fact it starts to slow down and that's with only 1 rear seat in. Any ideas?? Thank you Janine

Hi I have just purchased a A200 Turbo and have a problem where i seem to lose power after approx 4 min of driving. I dont think its in limp mode, but struggles to get to 100 and generally seems to be around -50% power? If i turn it off and on it seems to be ok again for another few minutes then...

This is a strange one. It normally happens after I have accelerated harder than normal and it usually happens if ive not long started car up so not warm (although I still have thermostat problem that needs changing) but the car will accellerate ok then just seems to lose power. It goes dog slow...

I'm confused Virgin have lost the franchise bid, seemingly as First Group have agreed to pay the Ministry of Transport a higher amount of money. Is this why our trains tickets are so expensive, because the operator's are bidding progressively higher amounts for the franchise? Anyone...

Autocar just dropped through my letterbox and I see they have pitched the new ML against a RR Sport and a Cayenne - and judged it third, which is a bit of a disappointment for an all-new supposedly state-of-the-art MB. When the last ML came out in 2005, it was judged better than rivals X5...

Recently got hold of a brand new iPad2. It connects to home WiFi and I can browse for a few minutes, but then it's as if the connection is lost. The signal strength indication shows it's still connected - I just can't browse. Disconnecting and reconnecting fixes it for a few minutes, but...

My 1994, 5 cylinder diesel with 170,000 miles starts and idles fine. While driving though power surges up and down and I lose power going uphill. I don't think it is the engine (but what do I know) and as a shade tree mechanic would think fuel pump, blocked injectors, air (somehow) in the fuel...

I replaced the heater panel illumination bulbs on the Sprinter. Everything seemed okay but I no longer have any heat from the heater. The right hand knob in the picture is the temperature control and is connected to a cable that I assume opens a flap to allow the hot air in from the...

I purchased a nice shinny 1996 W124 E280 estate last week. Car is great apart from one major issue, it loses power going up hills, or at least that’s how the problem first presented itself. After a week of driving around and various checks etc I have learnt the following: If I drive carefully...

I have been to see a C32 today but am a bit dubious...it seems to drive well under 'normal' conditions, but when kicked down hard it loses drive - just free-wheels. If you stop, it will simply drive again as if nothing had happened. I am concerned that this might be a nasty fault, but suspect...

Came home today looking forward to spending whats left of my 15th Wedding Anniversary with the Mrs, to find her in tears. She took her wedding album over to a freinds house last night to have a reminisce, and she left it there. Anyway the friend gave it back to her after the school pickup today...

There's a fair bit of "product placement" of Mercedes cars in movies nowadays. theres a couple of clips from National Treasure Book of Secrets. I keep waiting for somebody to say "don't worry you've got mobilo life!";) http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809839449/trailer clips getting closer...

Scotland has lost another motorsport hero with the death of David Leslie. Leslie died on 30 March 2008, when the private jet he was travelling in crashed into a housing estate in Farnborough, Kent. He was flying with fellow racing driver and team owner Richard Lloyd. They were travelling to the...
