The distributor was at its adjustment end stop.

Hi All,
I’m reposting some of this from the original Electrics section because it’s gone ‘Engine’ – I think?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
To recap a little, my 300/24 coupe simply failed to start from cold ten days or so ago after having previously behaving impeccably with...
Not strictly true in that they include derivatives of the original models but interesting all the same. The majority are basic utility transport which perhaps explains their longevity. No Mercedes models though!

Hi all, first post on here and hope someone can help me!
I have a 99 clk 320 and the heater motor runs constantly even when the ignition key is out. I suspect the relay but have no idea where it is situated.
Please help

Nats e320 runs cool at around 70c. Have changed the thermostat , no change, have replaced the coolant temp sensor - no change. Any idea what to look at next please panel?
Not sure whether this is related but the car fogs up even with the blower running nicely and the air warmer button on (and...
It looks like red light cameras in the USA have a second camera to capture the drivers identity. Wonder if this driver got away with it as he couldn't be identified according to state law. Surely not, wouldn't it open the flood gates.http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=19019
Ok maybe an overstatement but its runs very sluggish when cold, once warm its smooth and fine, any suggestions?
I also noticed this morning (-4 today) the car momentarily jittered in 1st gear?

Hi all
I have a 1995 C200 k and find that it surges below 1000 revs or at idle. I have an engine management light on which has been tested and suggested that it is the airflow sensor but have been told by an indi garage that this isn't the problem. Any ideas as to what could be the...

Hi,
Not a MB GTG of such, but there are still some places available at this weekends VMAX at Bruntingthorpe where you have the opportunity to test your cars speed down the runway with plenty of other fast cars.
GregE240 and I are going to represent MBClub :D

At least i think thats what it is. Its a small looking motor sitting above what looks like 2 fuel lines on the driverside near the top mount. Anyway thats what it is and its running all the time when the ignition is on! I think i'm right in thinking it shouldn't so whats gone wrong? (its a W124...

The warranty o my SLK320 runs out at the end of the month. The service indicator says that the next service isn't due for 3000 miles. I've been thinking it might be an idea to get it done early so that any faults will be done under the warranty - and I can get my MOT too. Any thoughts?
