reading

I have an R171 with the DVD reader in the back for the Command system. Yesterday a message came up saying "cannot read DVD, please insert disc". I opened the boot and ejected and re-inserted the disc a couple of times, but the message still appears and I can not use the Nav system or see any...

Does anyone know how to disable the reading pane view? I know you can turn it off when the document is open, but I prefer the full page view. Any ideas please chaps?

Having recently bought a 2007 E280 with full history which has only done about 2500 miles in the past year, the ASSYST is saying it's well overdue it's next service (which is IMHO one of the disadvantages of these time based systems when cars aren't used for a long period). I've read many tales...

I came across this series of articles on telegraph.co.uk dated from 2006, giving the song and dance how poor dealer service is a thing of the past yada-yada-yada. I suggest you start with this one: Quality time - Telegraph Then continue with this: Catch a falling star - Telegraph And...

Nephew (age 16) saw that Guns-n-Roses are at Reading on 27/8/10. Parents said "no chance" on his own. Our number 1 son (aged 19) jumped at the chance to act as escort! Tickets booked. Number 1 son had assumed that he would drive down, do the gig, sleep in car, drive home. We were not happy with...

I'm trying to order some interior parts for my e220 Cabriolet (UK RHD Specification). However, some parts are require color code (ES2) before I can place an order. My car has black leather interior which listed on Russian website as 261A Leather Black. But I don't know how to use this number to...

Hi guys, I am just putting together a new warranty booklet for Mercland, ive read the damn thing what feels like 300 times and now my brain refuses to read it again! I just need someone to have a read and ensure I havent missed any spelling mistakes, punctuation or any other comments...

I have a new electricity meter. The old one was easy to read since it had two displays for high and low rate. The new one just has a single display with a cycle/menu button. So how do I know which is my day and night rate? The photos aren't so clear, but in this photo there is a '1' in the...

Does anyone know how to check the fault codes on a C250D W202 1995 model. My autodata CD seems to imply you can do it with a switch and a LED connected across some of the DLC pins, but this method seems not to work :( I am in High Wycombe, is anyone nearby who can read the fault codes...

I have a 2.8 Mitsubishi Pajero on trial for the week end and when I collected it today I noticed from the GPS that the speedo reading is way out, 20 is actaully 30, 30 is 40, 40 is 50 etc. The wheels and tyres are standard and the needle rest on 0 when stopped. Any thoughts wise people?

I'm in Reading this week... and need to find places to eat! Any recomendations? Leaving in about an hour to try the first restaurant... I have tomorrow as well though ;) M.

Guys.. with the reputation of mercedes cars lasting past our lifetime, it is sometimes a touching moment of cars which have seriously high mileage or are still used as everyday cars.. whats the highest mileage car you own.. For me (in the UK atleast), is my slk, with 120,000 on the clock...

I have a W204 with COMAND. In the manual it says I can read my texts on the screen. This is true, but it can only display texts within the "SIM Message" folder. All the texts I receive do not go onto this folder. Nokia say the SIM Message is for service messages sent by the network. Is there...

I’ve just read the thread mentioned above and my heart sunk. I have a CLK55 AMG 2003 model and last week began to get the exact same symptoms as described. When the car is changing gear it very softly judders before picking up revs and accelerating. Now the car is booked into Olly’s for next...

Hi folks, Just bought a 2007 E220 CDI Executive – dead chuffed. (oooops - better change the avatar !) Yesterday the fuel got low & the warning light came on, along with the mileage gauge. I was surprised to see (if I’m reading this right) that there is only enough fuel for 14 miles once the...

Went for a drive in a friends (04)E320 CDI the other day & noticed his temp reading was lower than mine, his was 75 & mine is & always has been 83ish which one is telling the truth...both cars we're run for a while.

30K/16 months since 100K ATF change - so planning on doing a partial change soon (drain from pan plug and refill). Thought I'd check the level at the weekend, when both hot and cold the bottom part of the dip stick seems covered in ATF and the level is somewhere on the first coil of the springy...
