The interior light on my E320 2004 no longer illuminates when I open the door etc. However once darkness falls it comes on and remains so until I press the car lock button on the remote. For the last two days I now get a message on the dash each time I start the car "Convenient settings...

Some inconsiderate person scraped my wifes A160 in Asda deftly removing the repeater lamp on the offside front wing. Having obtained a replacement pair of lamps and fitted them I now have a situation where there are no indicator lamps working on the offside and the repeater lamp on the nearside...

ML270 2002 Australian 120K km's. Noticed this dark stain next to park brake pedal. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Feels dry to touch, no signs from above the stain to indicate what might be causing it. Right hand drive vehicle. Any suggestions.?

Hi guys, I hope you can help with this one. The smoke problem on my 02 320CDI became almost non-existant when I made a concious effort to go out in the car for five consecutive days. However, after the car was left standing for 3-4 days (cold weather remember) I started it up Saturday...

Hi all, got a strange vibration/buzzing which appears to be emanating from the Top centre screen vent (Pear shaped one). Normally appears when gently accelerating not when revs have settled. Took out the screen vent and the center face vents but as most of you will be aware, there isn't much...

I have a problem in my 1995 w202 C180 Manual Transmission model. The problem is when I engage the 1st or reverse gear (mostly on reverce gear) and trying to start smoothly, letting go of the clutch slowly, and obviously giving the car enough gas so it's not stalling or anything, like as unpark...

Have I stumbled across the source of Dragon’s valuable ‘News’ items - as well as his cryptic comments? :eek: I had a spate of emails in the past advising me how best to improve my manhood, followed by a bunch asking me to confirm bank account details at institutions with which I have no...

According to original MB sales spec I have for the 129 series, both the 600 and the 60 allegedly have heated seats as standard. Can't find a switch on mine? Any ideas folks?

:( In my efforts to source a replacement O/S door mirror for my left-hand drive W126 300SE, my problems are that it needs to be heated and electrically adustable - the opposite way round from it's right-hand drive cousin. When I do manage to find one it always has a 4 pin socket instead of a 5...

Found this in my spares & cannot for the life of me remember what's it's from or where I got it. All I know is it's not for a W201, W124 or W123. I want to ebay it as I have nothing it'll fit, but need to know what to call it. Measures approx 45mm across the laurels. TIA

My W202 estate had been rattling for some time, whenever crossing a speed bump or hitting a pothole. I suspected a suspension issue, or that the spare wheel was loose. It turned out to be the upper half of the tailgate latch, which had come unscrewed. Tools: - Swiss Army knife -...

I have a clicking noise that occurs from my wheels/brakes not sure where its comming from. It happens when I am driving and I turn the steering left or right. Has anybody had a problem like this? 2001 CLK230K

Here's a question for the experts: I have two electrical lines that feed out of the D-pillar on the driver's side of our wagon. Each of them have open-ended connectors on them, indicating that I seem to be pre-wired for a few things that are not installed on our particular vehicle. There's a...

Someone I know well took their car to local MB dealership, and having picked it up they returned home and noticed that one of the headlamps was badly condensated on the inside. Took days to dry out and left inside of the bi-xenons lens cloudy. Told Sales Manager verbally and Service Manager in...

When I am driving my 1997 C180 Classic 5 speed auto down the road with the driver window open I can hear a soft whining sound coming from the car's side which I cannot pin-point. Could this be worn out bearings, auto box problems or engine problems? The mileage is now 226,000kms. I bought it 2...
