Hello everyone I got in the car last night and switch on the aircon which has been working fine I turned on the blower without the aircon and it was fine then when I switched on the aircon it started making a hissing noise and then I noticed it wasn’t getting cold Any ideas what...

Hi although I joined a few years back I was not much of an active member or at all to be honest. I'm a newbie I'd say. So please forgive me if I do anything wrong in asking a question in the wrong place in advance. I have 2011 e350 diesel 265 with panoramic roof, the car is out of warranty...

To cut a really long story short, we go on holiday Sunday and the only car available to go to Gatwick is my CLS. It will be left in the long stay for two weeks. The last time I parked in the long stay at BhX my new M5 was stolen. Wifey has one of those yellow steering wheel discloks so I'm...

Just an observation, but I've done England to Scotland and vice versa in the last week, I noticed a lot of Blue 16/17 plates.. Is white now being phased out I wonder

Hi guys, Currently in a M235i, looking at a 2013 C63 PP, need some more noise in life. Anyone made the same jump ? I got left behind by a C63 estate at a drag event so I know there quick, yet to test drive one but I've got a car in mind that I'll be looking at next weekend. Anything major to...

Apologies, this one turned out longer than I'd expected, as the concept came up that VINs could also help thieves steal our beloved cars to order... Yesterday my M-B dealer sent me the VIN of my car which is being built in a week or so (hooray!). I was about to upload the VIN into that...

Was looking to get one as my new company car (as it was less than 110g/km CO2 which is my company limit) but when I requested it, I was told it is no longer available as an auto in 2017 models and lowest diesel auto is C250d which has 112 g/km. They will lose a lot of company car business as I...

Hi all, wonder if anyone has any ideas. My htc m8 phone has connected to the mb interface via Bluetooth for the last six months without a problem. However for the last couple of days it will connect as normal when in the car. Both the car and phone confirm thay are connected. If I make a call...

Hey guys, I'm at the stage with my car where I either swap it, or make a few changes to it. Thinking alloys/body kit/remap/speakers etc etc. Have any of you guys made any decent modifications to your CLK coupe? If so, any ideas would be great. Thanks. James.

Just apropos another thread on the forum re buying a car then complaining to try to get the price down even further and then selling on at a gigantic profit.I know it happens in every hobby I have ever been involved with and I have had all sorts of stories thrown at me (its for my Dad and hes...

Hi. I know you can switch fuse 54 under the bonnet to make the front 12v socket permanantly live, but is there a way of making the boot socket permanantly live? CHeers! Tim.

Just looking for some ideas, I've owned my W219 CLS 3 years in August, ( longest I've owned any car) It is pretty much immaculate imo, few age related external marks but the interior is box fresh.. Full main mercedes dealer history. One previous owner, garaged, Covered just 800 miles in the last...

Hi, My 2003 Vito is making a sparking sound that appears to be just inside the offside wheel arch (at least, that's where it's loudest) when the engine is hot, and the radiator fan never spins anymore. Are these two things related? Anyone know where the fuse is for the radiator fan, as I can't...

Stupid question perhaps but never replaced a starer motor on any car before. Does wheezing mean it's dying or could it be something else altogether? Car still starts OK, just makes a different (wheezey) noise as it does it. How hard is it to fit a new one, any one know? TIA.

After years of devout service im seriously considering letting the e39 touring go in favour of a c55 estate! never even thought about a merc until last night when I stumbled across some articles about the c55... looks like it fits the bill perfectly so looking forward to what I expect to be...

Hi all, For the past couple of days, after a short while of driving (between 2 and 10 minutes) the oil light is coming on on the dashboard. Dipstick is showing almost at maximum so all appears ok there, but there's something not right somewhere. Any obvious sensor or anything I can get...
