Hi ladies and gents, drove to work this morning in my 2002 S320 CDi. as i came to a complete stop at a junction there was like a thud and you can feel it in the car, goes through all he gears ok. Could it be the propshaft couplings?

Hi All, The other day i heard a screeching noise coming form the engine bay i thought it was the belt (so left the car at home and went to buy a new belt) but after replacing the belt yesterday i noticed the noise was still there and so i investigated further, the niose sounded like it was...

Doing this for a customer, gorgeous car, its a 560 SEC, with the full widebody AMG bodykit. It's missing some of the AMG bits, which the customer has spent many years collecting the correct parts for the car, we're completing the AMG package. I'll let the pics do the talking.... Car swap...

In preparation for the summer etc I've invested in making my W211 a bit more child friendly, some of the pics (blinds, boot mat) I thought would be of interest to some members: New Car seat (Britax King Plus Group 1) New Blinds (Genuine Mercedes) New additional rear-view mirror (I...

Let's put all the IT folk to good to good use :p. Where do I begin when making a website? I don't want some free crappy thing, just something basic for the engineering company I'm setting up part time. What do I do? :confused: PS - I have no idea how the internet works, it just does...

The sunroof on my 1984 190E started to make a nasty mechanical noise when fully closed with the switch still pressed. Opens and closes perfectly (its an early 190 so the roof doesn't tilt) and theres no noise during closing or opening, only if you keep the button pressed or if you press it while...

Newbie Here! My partners C180 that was purchased about 6 months ago, 165,000 miles has always been a bit lazy in gear changes moreso when going up hill (3000-4000RPM) to get in to 3rd gear, at times even on strait roads etc. Finally got it to my private mechanic who changed the oil and also the...

as the title. I have downloaded it. In 'Add+Remove Programs' I can see it there. Can't get it to work though. Every time I click the abc icon it asks me to download.:wallbash: HELP...

Evenin' all. My 2001 313cdi sprinter makes a whining noise when accelerating and decelerating - sounds a bit like and old fashioned police siren. Just replaced the viscous fan so all quiet now apart from the whining noise. :( Any ideas? Many Thanks. Paul.

Actually an honest question really. I've been on the lookout for a genuine W210 or S210 for the last few weeks and seem to be finding prices all over the place. I went to look at a 2002 135k mile S210 (E320 CDI Avantgarde with black heated leather) that was up for £4895, established I...

Hello again guys, Been away for a while. Redundancy earlier in the year meant I had to ignore the car (I have a tendancy to spend all my money on shiny things for it:bannana:) but i'm employed and back to enjoying Mercedes ownership again now! I have a few questions, as have been offered...

Mrs bandit has just informed me that she has arranged for a legal eagle to call on wednesday evening to prepare our wills :eek: I know it makes sense but it's just brought home to me that at 58 even if i live a normal lifespan there's not that long to go :( why has she arranged this without...

Hi I am renovating an old house and have put in new sewers, subfloors, new plumbing, Insulating & Dry lining some of the exterior solid brick walls, new windows & doors, wiring alteration and was wanting to future proof it as much as possible. At present i am thinking co-axial, Cat 5 and...

An interesting topic borrowed from an Expat Oil workers/Engineers forum. It's made quite a dillema in my mind.......... Senario: A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the...

Hi guys... Im not sure if I have got this in the right section but I didnt know where else to put it... On my C class the front doors make a strange clicking sound when opening and closing, I have checked the bolts on either side of the strip in the middle and they are tight all the way but...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/7950411.stm Personally I think prison is a tough sentance for any motoring offence but I can see why he has be jailed as the conditions sound truly terrible for the speeds attained in the car-especially as he should know better, and the proof of the...

On my W220 when I put on the heating on in the morning when the car is cold the squealing and squeaking coming from the blower is doing my nut in. It seems to be a bit less of a pain if I put the system on to high but that might just be a case of not hearing it over the noise of the fans. It...

Now that the cold has set in my Air Con has started playing up. There is a strange sound coming from the passenger side of the dash when i increase the speed of the air flow. It is a rumbling sound and to describe it better it sounds like the Fan that blows the air is actually loose or...
