running

Hi, I have a 2009 E250 Coupe. Today half way through a 500km journey the accelerator became significantly less responsive. There are no errors or warning lights! The engining is running noticeably noisier. I did 1,100km yesterday. I'm concerned this is a serious engine issue, I'm in France on...

Hi My car is running poorly. Ive just serviced it (oil/filter/air filter/fuel filter). The car is in limp mode and the engine light is showing. Basically anytime you rev the car at all it does this and smoke like you would not believe. This has not happened before! The fault codes showing are...

Hi does anybody know where I can buy a pair of day time running lights for my 2009 w204 c220cdi sport?? I've seen them for sale lots in America but don't know where to find them here in the UK Here's a pic of what I'm after

My 1997 E320 engine is starting to shake or shudder significantly at low speeds and the car is running incredibly rough, since 3-4 days. The car has had a CEL "camshaft position sensor" error code for over a month now, without any problem. The car has about 150000 miles. The spark plugs...

Hi, I've noticed that when it rains hard, all the wiper settings produce constant fast wipers, even the intermittent settings. Once the rain eases, they still run fast on all settings. On days when rain is light, all settings appear okay. Could this be a relay issue? Does anyone know...

Hello there! i'm new to the forum and have not long bought myself a vito 108cdi, quite cheaply i might add knowing that a few bits and pieces may need doing to it. After driving it for a bit, a few things have popped up, the main one being smoke. Oddly, it isn't constant and only appears...

Hi Guys I'm a new member so please go easy.. Just bought an early 2011 E class 350CDI convertible with the Hockey stick shaped daytime running lights. Just wondering if the new straight ones can be swopped over as much prefer those.

Evening all. I wonder if someone can shed some light on a quandary... The E220 seems to be getting hotter than I would expect, particularly on a long run. There's some evidence of mayonnaise in the coolant header tank, BUT it's old and the previous owner had the HG done - there's no sign of any...

I have noticed an alarming frequency of drivers that seem to dislike the LED DRL's on my smart car. At least twice a week (in daylight) I get oncoming cars stick their high beams on as a reaction (I assume) to the factory fit DRL's. IPerhaps people dont realise that they are daylight running...

I have just fitted some DRLs to my S320 which I purchased off ebay and they are in my opinion brilliant. The Item number is :200780869963 and they were only £15 with x8 super bright LEDs in each unit. Steve...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of Retro fitting daytime running LED to an R class - W251? Many thanks

Hi, I am looking to buy Mercedes W124 estate 300D that is running on veggie oil. The car would need to have a long MOT and be in a good working condition. I am not too bothered about patches of rust. What I am looking for is a car without air leaks in the fuel system.

Hi Can anyone help, my engine temp on my R170 2.3k 1997 was running at 95deg C into traffic today it usual runs at 80degC, running fine on motorway, ive had a couple of niggling electrical problems with corroded wiring. I dont believe the radiator cooling fan is working. The heater in the car...

I've just bought some new wheels for my w124, a daft ebay impulse buy, and the fronts have 225/45/17 tyres and rears 235/45/17 and I'm curious if this would cause any issues? They won't arrive until next week, so just planning ahead. I'll probably get new 235/45s on them after a refurb but was...

Hi, Can anyone shed some light on a problem I have with my car, it starts fine in the cold weather but for the first half mile to a mile it has poor throttle response (it's as if the 'choke' isn't being applied), is there a separate temperature sensor for the cold start or are there any other...

Hi guys, I am having a little problem with my motor, It starts ok hot or cold and is running spot on but from cold on first start it will not run unless i hold it on the throttle for 2-3 minutes, if then I ease off the throttle it will tick over fine and be ok the rest of the time untill engine...

Just to ask is anyone running on 19" 285 tyres on the rear of their E55K. wondering if they would fit my own car. My wheels will be 9.5J 19" ET32. Trowled through some US forums, some information, but not all. I have OEM 19" split rims ET31 with 275's on at the moment, and they seem fine but...

Length of ownership = 5 months Mileage = 2398 miles Miles since last report = 350 miles MPG = 19.8 mpg (18.70 mpg calculated) Faults = Minor buzz from the Instrument Binnacle Well it's been a bit of a quiet one this month. I've only driven 350 miles in the last month, which is pathetic...
