Hi,
On occasions where I do some heavy repeated braking, I've found the brakes fade very quickly. It's as if they're poorly cooled. The alloy wheel is warm and I can feel the heat from the discs, so they're getting screaming hot, but heat isn't able to easily dissipated.

Yesterday was a nice day with temps around 16 degrees or so. I was only pootling around in the car going here and there, nothing fast and furious, no standing still in traffic etc. My speed was between 10mph and 30mph driving around an estate type area.
I had my drivers side window down and...

Hi,
My indictors flash too quick in cold weather. Colder it is, quicker they flash. As the car warms up the indicators gradually slow down to normal speed.
All the bulbs work. I wire wooled all 4 bulb holders but no joy. Any help would be much appreciated.
I put fresh batteries in both keys a year ago when I bought the car (just a precaution) and all worked fine until about a month ago when things went awry. I get "key still in vehicle" when I am getting into the car and "key not detected" when I try to start it. No warning about the batteries...
Noticed my CLK was idling a bit quickly on the first start today - around 1300rpm.
After about 30secs it dipped down to a more normal fast idle of around the 1000rpm mark.
Other than this car is running fine, MPG good and no other symptoms. Once warmed up settled to the usual sub 700 rpm...
Hi Guys,

I have recently acquired a 1993 W124 220E. I got it from my father in law, it needs some work which I am starting to get to.
There is a problem with the transmission, it pulls off perfectly but then proceeds to shift directly into 4th gear and...

No problem with it working using the remote, key or interior button, BUT, when opening it flies up so quickly I fear it's going to come off or get bent.
Can the springs be adjusted? if so, how do i acces them?
Thanks

This is why my exhaust has been rattling the past week or two:
It gave way today on the motorway, was nice and quiet before (I thought the rattle was a heatshield or bracket), now it sounds horribly throaty and noisy.
I have a job on Saturday, which leaves me tomorrow to try and get it...
