Well I popped out at lunch and picked this maintenance charger up at my local Lidl for £12.99. So a quick review in case others think it worthy of purchase. First off, It doesnt come with fly leads for more permanent connections like the more expensive maintenance chargers do but I'm sure...

My manuals are all in French! I had pretty good luck finding the Operators and COMAND Manuals in English but have come up short finding the Maintenance Booklet. Would someone please point me in the direction of a link to a downloadable Maintenance Booklet for a 2003 E220 CDI. I think it would...

As well as my passion for everything Mercedes, I am also an avid Jaguar fan and it struck me over the weekend that different Marques seem to have differing views on maintenance of there individual cars. I caught up with a mate for a beer over the weekend who is an independent Jaguar technician...

Hi although I have a lot of experience taking other cars apart, even managing to rebuild them and not have bolts left over:rolleyes:, I have never had dealings with the Kompressor system. Therefore my question is if there is any routine maintenance required on the Kompressor system? :thumb...

According to this article. I particularly liked the quote from Martin Jones, the Head of Strategic Roads Division at the Department for Transport who said I can only assume that Mr Jones should either a) Get out more, or b) Learn that some lies really are totally implausible :rolleyes:

As per title. Lots of service procedures are explained and are not diesel specific. All are walk-throughs with clear pictures- just right for dummies like me who fancy getting their hands dirty:) Hope it's of some use to someone out there: Mercedes Diesel Maintenance tips

As per title. I think it's much better than the Russian site. I found this site that I would recommend bookmarking for all those who want to tinker. It's the MB workshop manual detailing all procedures and also all the parts for the w124 series and would also be useful for those with MB's...

Well I saw all these "Road closed" and "Diversion" signs. Ho hum, thinks I, 'tis 06.00 so how bad could it be? Nightmare is the short answer. Avoid! Arrghh! Highways Agency - A303 Willoughby Hedge to Mere Carriageway Renewal and Major Maintenance

The wife’s Smart car clutch was slipping, so on Sunday morning I adjusted the actuator. Jacked the car up, axle stand, loosen bolts, moved actuator, tightened bolts, test drove, all in all took 30 minutes. Seldom has DIY been this successful and easy for me. Job done and on to the next week-end...

I have just acquired a yr 2000 (on an X) 430te with 86000 on it. MB service history until service before last which was a year & 10,000 miles ago. I am doubtful this was a thorough service. Question is what should I have done to give me peace of mind? I was thinking precautionary oil &...

I'm interested in peoples' own positions with regard to servicing, maintaining or modifying their cars So; Do you do any work yourself, or would you if you had the facilities (space, tools etc)? Do you give everythign to a specialist/indie, or does it all go to the dealer to keep the service...

Hello, Now spring is finally here I am in the mood for some Mercedes DIY. I have had a good hunt around and I cannot find any manuals or indeed online resource for the W208. Haynes don't seem to have a manual (yet?) I have seen some DVDs on ebay, but can anyone vouch for a particular item...
