replacing

I've got the replacement. Should I first thread the cable through the lever?

When our 2003 CLK's Comand screen failed, I sent it to be repaired by Maple Audio. Unfortunately when it needed a further warranty repair, Hermes lost the parcel in transit, so I decided to fit a more up to date radio/GPS unit instead. I chose a Windows CE-based 7 inch touchscreen...

My local mercedes just quoted me £500 for a driver side headlamp assembly. Euro car parts say £150. Can anyone recommend a good OEM make or where I can get one asap (this weekend). Cheers, James

I can't believe that I have actually ordered my new car. It's been 3 years of searching for a convertible/roadster; and the same amount of time thinking that I can't sell the CLS55. Well, I know I will regret it, but I can't have 3 cars, and I must have the top down experience this year...

I've got a low milage '93 400 E w124, which I've just bought. After checking the wiring loom I replaced it with a used one (manufactured in 2008) which seems to be in excellent condition from looking at it. When all was replaced, which was quite straight forward, the car started to misfire...

Hi guys, i'm thinking to change my comand to NTG 2.5, because my ML 06's is with NTG 2.0 US Version and it doesn't work in Europe (navi and some FM stations on radio) I've read a lot and i'm a bit confused of what i need to do/buy to do it right. I will buy NTG 2.5 from someone crashed ML or GL...

Hi, Can anyone give me instructions on how to replace the car stereo in my 2001 E220 estate please, the original cd/radio player won't play cd's and I want to fit a new kenwood cd/radio player. Thanx

Hi Mercedes dealer serviced my car at 41,1000 miles. 2012 C220 estate AMG Sport Plus styling. S205 Said the discs and pads need replacing. Yes I agree the pads need replacement but not sure about discs? The Service report says this... Discs minimum 26mm Discs Front left measures...

2015 e220 AMG Line I've made a mess of the airvent bars on the driver side nearest the window. I used them to mount a mobile phone holder, but its scratched off all the paint. Do the vents or the bars easily pop out? Apreciate any advice.

Just wondering if anyone has done this using one with the same part number as I don't believe they are vin coded to car. I have had everything else checked by my local indie including oil change and conductor plate, harness check up to transmission control unit. He says he can't clear the...

Hi all, I've got a 2006 CLK equipped with a MF2540 stereo with a nokia cradle in the arm rest. I was going to buy one of those bluetooth jobbies to plug into the cradle as I'd really like bluetooth. But instead I decided to get a bluetooth enabled MF2830 stereo (out of a Vito I believe)...

Impossible to get at IMHO.... Really winds me up that its so difficult these days to change something like a bulb. Should be a 10 minute job. Passenger side. Other bulbs not so bad but this is impossible. Wondering if its easier to take headlight unit out completely? (Used to have an...

Hello, my first post. Great site. My 2005 180k C class, 70k has a p0171 fault, I serviced it over the summer, new air filter etc. Two questions: 1. I want to repair this myself. I understand that some people replace the MAF as a throw away item and some advocate cleaning it. Any...

Hello there everybody. Since I live in a small village in Scotland (Highlands) I am quite limited with my choices. I need to replace the heater valve on my mercedes e 200 kompressor 2006 facelift model. I've bought the valve, even a complete socket set but I didn't manage to do it myself. First...

A front spring on my 2008 C220 W204 estate snapped whilst going over a speed bump (slowly!) yesterday. The car's a 2008 and just clocked 143,000 miles. Last week I replaced 2 rear shock absorbers after one of them developed a leak. It's booked in for 2 new front springs next week. My...

I'm soon to collect a CL203 230k. Its low mileage and in pretty good condition. It failed the last MOT on suspension components. ARB links and bushes, lower arm bush. Front spring snapped, and the bearings also have a little play (I was just going to tighten these up). I've bought a full arm...

I've bought new seat backrest and base pads for my s124, has anyone stripped the seat of the covers and replaced them by themselves, or is it a specialist job? Ideally I'd like to do it myself this weekend, as I can't be without the car for a while and the current pads are misshaped and...

Advice Need to replace these drop links on this car, got to say i have never had the car on axle stands before, so much of a novice on doing this. Started to do this work today i brought the links from euro carparts and got the Lemforder make for this car and a 16mm and 7 mm spanners. I put...

Hi first let me thank ALL for this very informative site without whose help I could not still be driving my car. I was having trouble starting my e 320 cdi and posted for help and the most likely culprit was the crank position sensor purchased cps and set about replacing said item ! to say...
