occasionally

Just lately I've been getting the odd occasion that no gear is being selected when I move the selector to D or R after starting the car (plus the D or R light in the speedo doesn't come on) the car just sits in Park (P). If I restart the car and select the gear again then I can select the gear...

And when it does it sets the alarm off, I do from time to time grasp it firmly and give it a wriggle and it always feels secure but as sure as eggs are eggs it will fall off and set the alarm siren going. When I place it back I make sure everything is clean and I give it a gentle wet before...

Newbie to forum. Just completed full brake discs and pads plus only second use of star. What a fairly easy job, but this following issue is really peeing me off. I Wonder if anyone experienced occasionally a high pitch air kind of squeal buzz from.what appears to be nearside rear/boot. I know...

Car - 1998 w210 E320. 63,000miles and almost full MD service history. Purchased this car just over a year ago from an old gent who had owned the vehicle from new. The car drives beautifully, engine is smooth as silk. No rough running etc BUT every now and again the engine will die on me. This is...

I sometimes get more resistance from the selector lever when moving throughout P R N D when manouvering. The other day it momentarily would not move out of D. Its going in for an MOT and will raise this then, but is this a common issue on 7g cars. I know on 220 S classes this happens but not...

A-Class W168 210 Evolution. Occasionally, after starting, the car will not go into any gear. After eventually getting the car into gear and setting off, it may still be difficult to change gear for about 5mins after which the car is fine. On starting pumping the clutch seems to make no...

Noticed that in very specific circumstances the gearbox doesn't go into 5th (temporarily) Has Happened 3 time this year now - all after stopping for between 5-10 minutes and then pulling away and after a couple of junctions accelerating moderately briskly up to 70mph. Obvious example is a...

Amongst a couple of electrical anomalies that have just started..... I have experienced my cruise just stops working. I pull over, turn the engine off and start again it is back working again. No other errors on the dash. The engine spins over fine and does not indicate a weak battery. I...

Have a problem with my car that appears to be occurring more regularly; it's still only happened about 6 times, but it certainly isn't getting better! It's only when the engine is hot and has run for over 30 minutes; for the last four times, this has been when I have stopped for fuel after...

After driving merrily along for about 15 miles, the coolant level warning lamp lit. Pulled into layby, popped the bonnet & saw that black plastic elbow that just push clips onto top of radiator had popped itself off! This elbow forms part of header feed tank (connected by 4-5 feet 1/2" tube)...

My problem is as follows: I turn the key - and nothing. Won’t even crank. My battery is new any fully charged. The head lights do not faint during the attempt. Other electrical equipment looks fine. After several attempt usually the car starts. It cannot be the imobiliser, since the car...

Hi, I have a Brabus 3.6 :devil: based on a 300E (M103) which has just had it's head gasket changed, along with new valve guides. The car starts first time from cold as it should holding a high 1200 RPM idle getting progressively slower as expected. The problem is that seemingly the warmer...

Over the past 2 weeks or so I've noticed (on 3 or 4 occasions) that when I start the car it does not seem to fire up properly. It catches, but instead of idling normally it sounds and feels like it's about to stall - there's 0 oil pressure and at about 400+ RPMs - and then after about a...
