Our 2007 C230 S203 Avantgarde SE Sport has auto lights (which work fine), but in the first position the wipers give a fixed interval intermittent wipe rather than being rain-sensing. From the outside there appear to be two sensors at the top of the windscreen. Does anybody know what the...

My dads S203 / C220 Estate offside (drivers) mirror has been given a belt which has broken the lens for the indicator in the mirror. Is this repairable (is there a replacement lens) or is it a new unit? The mirror glass is intact, but the fluid has started to move so a new one would kill two...

Wife was driving home from work and I got a phone call to say the car (2001 S203 220CDI) was going crazy giving out fault codes and flashing lights like they were going out of fashion. After having a look around on here I worked out that the bulkhead drains were blocked (we had biblical rain the...

As I have some rust on the bottom of my O/S rear door I bought a rust free one from ebay but the trim which fits on the sloping part at the back of the window frame does not match my original door. Is it an easy task to remove this piece of trim and swap them around? Thanks in advance. Tony

Hi, I have a split A/C hose/pipe on my 2001 S203 220cdi C Class. It looks like it has been rubbed by the serpentine belt at some stage (can't see how this has actually happened as its got loads of clearance) and has finally burst covering everywhere in lovely green dye. Its the pipe that goes...
