poor

Hello, to one and all. I own a E280 CDI elegance w211 2007 post facelift model (44,117 miles). Fully serviced only by MB. It gives me only around ~15mpg in city driving:wallbash:. Even though I maintain my revs at 2000rpm. Please if anyone could give some suggestions or solution, it would...

I've been looking at some of the watches members have here in awe, some truly amazing bits of engineering... all with some seriously hefty price tags. So, it got me thinking... what watches do members have that are worth £300 or less? Happy to go first. The attached images are of 2...

A good friend of mine is offering for sale the above car. It is correctly-described as being in very poor condition. The attached photos say it all. VIN is 10704222010484. It's a 280SL auto in silver with both hard and soft tops. First registered May 1981 on a W plate. I have known this car...

Hi all. I have just fitted an after market radio in my c180 k sport W203. It works great apart from the radio which is very poor. I can hardly get any stations. I have a dual fakra to din which is powered but its crap. The guy who sold it to me tried it in his car (not Mercedes) and it works...

Some of these are epic. Look for the 4x4 parking...nice J curve. The Woman trapped between the car and another reminds me of seeing a Woman pulled through a hedge by her friend performing a very similar curved reverse maneuver. 0AqmvpydWh4

Hi everyone, Ever since I've had my '92 190E 2.6 it's had a bit of an annoying problem (or set of problems), which now seems to be getting worse. Firstly, it never tends to start very easily. It always does go, but often has to churn for a bit longer than you'd expect, particularly when cold...

Went into the parts department at mercedes Stockport today and was vey disappointed with the service, or lack of. 15 minutes I was waiting, ringing the bell whilst a member of the parts team was sat in the office facing me less than 8 foot away. He could definitely see me and was not on a...

I've just upgraded from my CLK320 to a 55 AMG and am having a problem with the blowers on the new car. There is only a tiny amount of air coming out of the vents even with the fan set on maximum. To put it in perspective, my 320 (no climate control but has air con) puts out a huge amount more...

Hello there! I have a problem with my new car and was hoping for some help here. I am new to these forums but this is my second mercedes (out of 4 cars total, used to have a 190D) I have recently bought a 2006 C220 CDi Auto, and its returning some ghastly mpg (had a passat tdi before this...

Hi I'm new to the group, I have fitted a Sony XAV-601BT to replace the Audio 20BT. I am having issues with the radio reception, I have used the standard ISO leads but I'm not sure if this feeds the antenna amplifier. The aerial adapter is plugged into the white dual coax socked (it's where I...

HI My fan belt snapped on my C270 CDI recently, I have replaced it, the engine did overheat slightly but I was told by the rescue mechanic that the head gasket hadnt gone. The problem i have is the car only runs at full acceleration sometimes. and sometimes when I put my foot down it is...

I've bought a new radio (Pioneer deh-4500bt) to replace the old audio 10 in my 210, and there is a problem with the AM signal. The signal seems to be very weak and there is interference. But if i swap back to the old audio 10, the AM reception is fine. The FM signal is fine in both. Any...

Hi all, I'm new to this forum and require some advice if possible. I have done much searching on Google for my problem but still not getting anywhere. My CLK430 is 2001, its had limited service history and has poor acceleration. It's done just under 120,000 miles. I have had the car for...

Hi, Having a bit of trouble with my 2007 sprinter 311cdi. When I'm coming to a stop the engine sounds really rough right up until I stop completely then it will just idle normally. Struggling to find anyone locally who knows what it is and don't want to pay merc prices to get them to diagnose...

I've had a few people on the other end of the line tell me that my voice quality isn't good when I'm using the phone whilst driving. I don't recall getting complaints until recently. It appears I can be heard but that it's "echoey"/in the bathroom like. Does the microphone deteriorate...

Hi, I have recently purchased a 2003 W220 Facelift and am slowly working my way through the niggles. I have established that I need a new GPS / phone aerial and am looking into why the radio signal is poor. Any suggestions on where to start? Thank you in advance Shane

Somewhere worse than Donny (!?!): Skint - Channel 4 - Info - Press Should rich taxpayers have to sponsor all this, or should there be a cull?

Mercedes SLK230 Kompressor automatic R170 2000 (Spanish LHD, they don't rust in Spain at all ;) ) 95% of trips are fine. The performance of this car is fantastic with very satisfying acceleration but sometimes I get this... Pull up at a junction, pull foot off brake, car rolls as expected...

OK, I've read all the threads I can find, here and elsewhere, regarding poor FM reception. I have an early 05 facelift W209 (UK RHD), the FM reception isn't as good as I remember it to have been a month ago, I'm getting dropouts and the stations I listen to can't be received in areas where...
