Afternoon Guys, I just purchased a C CLASS C200K 1.8, unfortunately it’s developed a squeaky noise under the bonnet. The noise only starts after doing a few miles from start, then when in park/idle, it continues to make the noise, but if you rev the engine over a certain rev, the noise turns...

Hi all I'm new on here, so firstly thought i'd introduce myself! I've purchased a Command Sat Nav unit for my mothers ML 270 MY2002 from ebay. I tried putting it in last night, however, there are 3 separate plugs from the old CD/Radio unit. 2 fit straight into the command (And everything...

hi people. i noticed this morning that my LCD odometer display is not visible. Seems like the back light has gone. however if you look carefully you can actually just about see the reading. My temperature display and clock and the rest of the dash displays are fine so surely its got nothing to...

On my way to work this morning my 1998 W208 2.3K Auto started to idle very roughly whilst queuing in traffic. The revs dropped to just over 500 rpm and the engine behaved as if it was about to stall ( lots of car shake ). Switching to neutral seemed to alleviate the problem by allowing the...
