Hi to all, Im new to MBClub and indeed new to Mercedes. I have recently purchased a non-runner 1998 E300 td from an internet auction site. I bought it with a faulty fuel pump.Upon arrival it was soon clear that some fool had been messing around with something, they clearly knew nothing about. I...

I have an ML 270 cdi 03 model. Engine fan comes on but the car does not want to start. engine does not turn over all lights on dashboard comes on. it low mileage serviced and well looked after. Any ideas? never heard of this problem.

In eager anticipation of collecting my new w212 E350cdi sport saloon next week what are the running in procedures these days(i will read the owners handbook once collected but would like a few pointers in the meantime).

Hi there I have a new C220 Estate (62 plate) which has the daytime running lights on. I have noticed lots of the new mercs on the road with the same - however they seem to be able to have the main lights and DTR lights on at the same time.....when my main lights come on the DTRL's switch...

Hi, My 280SE has been a great runner and starter over the past few years and has only ever required servicing (by me) once a year. Over the festive period however I was out for a drive and when I took a sharp right hand bend (with about a 1/4 tank of fuel) the car started to cut out and 2...

Length of ownership = 4 months Mileage = 2048 MPG = 20.2mpg (18.65mpg calculated) (new) Faults = None So now I'm another month into C63 ownership and thought it time to reflect on a couple of aspects of the car that I've really noticed. Engine braking This car has serious amounts of...

Hey folks.. My 124 220 ce is running terrible after I had a heavy foot the other the other day , straight after I pulled into a garage and it stalled on me and it would not idle and could only take off with a bit of heel and toe action... so after driving it a bit it got a bit better and it...

Length of ownership = 3 months Mileage = 1660 MPG = 19.9mpg (18.82mpg calculated) (new) Faults = None Just a short one this month, but not to worry as I've already pre-written a load more for next month's report. This will be bolstered by my experiences with the car going into MB for it's...

Length of ownership = 2 months Mileage = 1297 MPG = 20.2mpg (19.11mpg calculated) Faults = Various rattles So I've had the C63 for just over 2 months now, but have only covered a pitiful 1300 miles. I don't use it as my daily driver, and have been away on holiday, but it's still no great...

My engine light is coming on intermittently and the engine runs on after key is removed, it's booked for star but I'm just wondering what the problem maybe, any ideas? For info, no limp mode no others problems, drives well!

Got this '95 reg 124 220ce which seems happy to run round the place at a temperature of 60 degrees. Have rarely seen it go above, just the odd occasion to rise to 80 degrees. The fan heater in the car works for hot air, yet all the same when set at 26 degrees does not seem to be anything like...

Hello everyone! I'm new to site so not sure if this question has been asked? I'm looking to have daytime running lights on my C200 Sport............but not cheap and nastys :ban:!! Help on where i might get a good conversion kit would be much appreicated ! Thanks

Seen this on the TV the other night and was wondering if it could be a method to bring down hi temps on tuned cars, anyone tried this solution? also not having cooling changes every 2 years is also an advantage Evans Waterless Engine Coolants or video Home » Engine Cooling Systems

My car has been running lumpy when stationary or at crawling speed once warmed up - can anybody advise what the likely culprit is? Thanks, Dan

I thought I'd take the time to start and maintain a monthly running report of my C63. I appreciate it's not of interest to many, but perhaps it may help out the odd person who's looking to make the move to MB or indeed to an AMG. So here goes: Length of ownership = 1 month Mileage = 560...

I am looking to retrofit some running boards for my W166 but I cannot find anywhere to buy or fit them - anyone know of anywhere?
