poor

The FM radio reception in my W212 is awful. Any suggestions as to what it could be? I have only tested FM, as that is the only radio band I listen to. I have powered down my dash cam as I have read that they can interfere with DAB and wondered if I was getting the same, but unfortunately not...

Official figures state 33mpg My first fill up since purchasing the car clk 200 coupe automatic 57 plate, achieved 26.9 mpg :eek: total miles done since fill up 316.7 miles - light footed driving, very occasionally I would give it some welly As its the revised m271 engine I would have...

Hi everyone, I am new to this site, so appreciate any help::thumb: C 220 Se CDi Diesel 2003 3door I HAD 'issues' where the car would turn over first time fine, but would not (re)start once 'hot' (ie after 20 mins of driving) until cooled down again, (upto an hour) and then started first...

Hi, I bought a new C class( 14 plate w205) about two months ago, used from the dealer. The car came with standard speakers but the sound quality is so poor in terms of bass, my Nissan primera had better bass sound than my new C class. There is a speaker on top of the front dash which...

Does anyone else find their instruction manual very very lacking indeed? I find it quite hard going and it says a lot without actually explaining much.

My car is a 13 year old C220 Cdi Sport Coupe that has a puzzling problem with the cabin airflow to the screen and feet (depending upon where it's being directed), even with the fan at maximum. Both heater and AC do work but owing to the poor airflow, it takes some time to be comfortable and is...

Someone drove into me as I was going around a roundabout today, tagged the back of my poor little Smart. Chap was apologetic a witness also kindly stopped and we all agreed what happened. I had to pull the bumper out by hand before driving off as it was fouling the tyre. It still drives ok.

2004 (facelift) W203 C270 Cdi Hi. I am looking for some help..... I recently had my engine management light come on and the car went into limp mode. I had the codes read and it turned out to be the MAF sensor. I purchased a Pierburg replacemment after reading here that the cheap ebay...

Hi, Long time since I've been here! I see a number of old faces around, which is always good to see. The reception on my W168 is very poor. I think it is because the aerial amplifier is not working. I am not sure but think this could be due to there not being any power going to the radio...

It appears fellow owners of this beast (w202 model) are seeing about 35mpg. When I put £20 I am getting about 100 miles out of 15 litres so roughly about 28mpg. I have tried to alter my driving style and be more gentle with my right foot yet I have not seen any real improvement. What could...

Hi, I have been reading through various posts on this topic. The remote central locking operates perfectly well, even at a distance. Fuse no.8 in the boot is intact, however the radio reception is extremely sketchy. At £300 :fail for a replacement, after checking Santa Claus wasn't stood...

After some wrangling my local dealer has agreed to take out and 'refinish ' the front seats in my 15k mile Discovery HSE, which started looking ropey after about 3 months. Leather quality is p*ss poor so, unless they do an exceptional job, I'll press for full replacements. The leather...

Hi guys !! My 2007 SLK Auto has developed a starting issue which now sees the car taking anything between 2& 6 turns of the key before it will start , when it refuses to start the engine spins over fine it just won't fire !! After a few attempts it will start & then be totally fine !, the...

Just logged on to tax the E36 for the summer. Entered V5 number, reg number, length of tax, method of payment, etc. and within 60 seconds my car was taxed. Just like that! First time. Can you believe it? No opportunity to whinge and rant. Shame on you DVLA.

Afternoon Could you please give me few pointers as where to start to try to reduce fuel consumtion? I did few tests recently and I get ~17 in city and ~22 on motorway. Considering that my 320 pertol got "only" 102k miles that seems to be a bit high. I have recently swaped tyres and reduced...

Hi all, OK this is a last DIY attempt to identify my only (at moment) outstanding issue on my car before putting her in the garage. When the car is started in the morning so cold at low revs the car seems to struggle to pull. If I boot it then it will not accelerate at all just seems to...

:wallbash::wallbash:I'd like to rant a little to my friends on this forum about my experience of poor customer service from Michelin. Whilst my complaint was of low financial value it may make others here consider not buying Michelin Wiper Blades. I bought a pair of Michelin Stealth...

I've found that over the past few months my reception in my 04 w211 has become really poor at several points in my 55 mile commute. To the point that in places I just can't get it at all. The others in my car pool don't have the same problem and none of the other stations suffer, so it can't be...

Hi can someone tell me if I get poor MPG, Its a E230 auto 1997 as I said in my other post I've not had the car long and was wondering if the MPG was ok with it. I put in £30 of petrol and im getting about 130 miles is this the norm for this car. I don't drive with a heavy foot and never go above...
