has anyone had experience of changing individual bits of a binacle (if thats how you spell it?) today the clock thats within the rev counter part of the dash packed up, all fuses working so presume its a replace job so will be looking for one from a breakers yard, anyone done this, is it...

I have a year 2000 E220CDI and the engine will not rev higher than 3000 rpm. It starts ok and runs ok for a while then the problem appears, quite worrying when your trying to overtake or coming out of a junction and suddenly the car will not accelerate!! I have recently replaced the glow...

My rev counter on my 1988 300d started working intermitantly (sometimes it was working on start up some times not. Now it's stopped altogether. What's up with it? Is it needing a new cluster, or is it to do with the speedo cable which bounces at low speed between 5-20 mph. Your advice Please...

Hey all, I drive a 2002 c230 kompressor automatic. Is there a way to get rid of the rev limiter on my C230 Kompressor? In neutral it stops it at about 4100rpm. I'm trying to N-bomb the car to spin the tires. But when I go from neutral to drive it lowers the RPM's to about 2000 and then goes.

I am having problems with the instument clocks on my merc, The rev counter does'nt work neither does the computer thingy in the right hand side of the clocks, Any ideas? all the other stuff works, oil press,water,fuel gauge so I am baffled! I have pulled the clocks out but all the plugs seem...

hi as u may have read HERE i have just fitted a dvd player to my car that goes via comand. the video signal and audio L and R signals are sent via phono cable to the comand. When driving the revs of the car go thru the speakers as a high pitched whine. Could this be due to the...

S500 starts but wont rev S500 for sale on Autotrader website that seems a good buy if the problem is easily sorted. Symptoms are that it will start but not rev, anybody come across this before. Dealer seems to think it may be the throttle body or an electrical problem which seems to cover...

Hello all, I have a 1999 Vito 112 CDI. Normally when I start the car it revs fine up to approx. 4200 rpm. However, sometimes after driving it the maximum rev limit goes down to 2500 rpm. Which is obviously bad. I am trying to find a way to produce this symptom on demand and the closest...

I noticed today that the under load performance of my 300TD has disappeared! Basically on the motorway it is reluctant to accelerate past 70 mph and insists on changing down at the slightest hill. This doesn't make any difference to its acceleration capability - it just revs more! At lower...

Hi Guys, My C280 doesn't want to rev past 4,500rpm no matter how hard I stamp on the throttle (and swear at it). Does anyone have any ideas what this might be? The car has the 5-speed auto; switching modes makes no difference. The engine is smooth and quiet and makes no untoward...

Started playing up this afternoon - any ideas on the diagnosis. Same prob on auto or tiptronic selection - just gutless and no revs available...... really pissed off, had it less than 2 weeks and thsill be the second trip back to the Stealership already. thanks Adrian

I've noticed this happening a couple of times recently, I've hit the rev limiter even though the auto box is in D, and I haven't used the tiptronic. Each time its happened I've been slowing down at a junction or roundabout, then seen it was clear and put my foot down. The car kicks down into...
