problem

I was driving on Saturday night and all of a sudden a warning light came on saying "car too low" "Malfunction". The front drivers side has completely dropped compared to the other corners and wont rise back up again. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Thanks

Hi, We tried to start my old merc after it being parked on my drive for anything up to 8 years. Won't fire. :wallbash: - Checked it has a spark and the tank is half full. - Smells like petrol at the exhaust fumes. - Pressed the 'tyre valve' on the fuel rail, it is pumping squirts...

Working on my little run around W169 which I bought with some know faults and would appreciate a little advice. When I bought the car I noticed that the key operated barrel in the drivers door had been drilled out, at that time it came with two keys which both had blank blades. The lock...

Bit of a dilemma here, started a couple of weeks ago, here are the symptoms. 2009 C180K, when i put the key in the ignition I hear the steering lock noise so that definitely is not the problem, I then turn the key to position 1 and all the lights on the dash light up but then when I turn it to...

Hi, wonder can anyone offer their opinion on this. I think my thermostat is locked in the open position. On these cold mornings I struggle to get the car above 40deg, maybe 50deg in the town. Has anyone else experienced this. I presume that the thermostat is fully open and continually letting...

Folks On my C55 I have noticed today that when I switch on my front fogs, the rears are also coming on. Any clues what could be the fault here? I do have a broken front fog light glass with some trapped water in the bowl but the light is still working. I am about to change the light and...

Hi, My problem is on a W211 320cdi V6 (2008) for which I don't find a solution in the existing treats. In the morning, the car will not start immediately, but when you preheat 3 or 4 times before starting, it starts without any problem. Because the glow plug controller is a common...

I have a 2011 W221, recently the TV Tuner and DVD has started to play up. Basically the TV is black and white, and if I try to play a DVD Video, it will play the sound but will show the TV picture (again in black and white), after about 15/20 minutes everything will be fine. Really bugging...

Driving yesterday engine at normal temperature accelerated off a roundabout bit of a bang then loads of smoke and a nasty metallic noise coming from the engine. Dead engine right. That's what I thought. Horrible day pouring with rain. Contacted the break down company, when the driver arrived he...

So I bought my w203 cheap knowing that there were a couple of minor problems. One of them is ye olde breather hose which seems to affect the majority of these cars (ECL, all cylinders showing misfire and rough idle) After much reading up on the issue I see that there is/was a service campaign...

1998 CLK320 petrol 92,000 miles. Stored for three years, battery dead, I replaced the battery along with the starter motor, and a new petrol filter. I took it for a two mile spin, ran fairly well, engine needs tuning. This is a pristine unblemished example inside and out, owned and only driven...

Hi! I have some problems with MB E350 W212 with 7G tronic transmission. There are some probems accelerating from 40-50km/h, sometimes acceleration is not smooth and there is small vibration. It seems to be on 3th or 4rd gear, mostly when cruising or slowly accelerating. When accelerating more...

So last evening I am leaving Aberdeen airport and looking forward to the 365 mile drive home :( Hit the open button on the key and all the normal bits light up with the click clunk noises. Pull the door open but no movement from the mirrors :fail Get in turn on and press switches on dash...

Car in question is a 2005 CLK w209. Recently at night a lot of cars keep flashing me and I passed a friend who also commented on my lights being very bright. Ive only had the car a few weeks and as far as I know they are factory Xenons. Noticed also they don't seem to self level as such on...

Hi, I have a 2007 W639 Viano. Both of the 2nd row seats have a problem. The bar underneath which makes the seat tip over so people can get into back has snapped. Is this a common problem and is there a new design or anyway this could be fixed so it don't snap again. It looks a real bad design...

Not sure if I have posted this in the right section but here goes. My air con has been playing up for a while now but has now developed new symptoms. Previously if I wanted to be comfortable at about 20 Deg C I would have to set the temp at about 28 otherwise the system would blow out very...

Every time I open the drivers side door the window drops down to about halfway. I then shut the door and it doesn't move up. If I physically sit in the car I can shut the window using the button and it fully closes. I then take the keys out, get out the door and again the window drops down...
