slow

I've recently changed cars from a W211 E240 to a R230 SL500. I've noticed drivers now tailgate me much more often and much closer when I'm in the overtaking lane of a dual carrigeway or motorway. I am not guilty of sitting there when there's room to pull back in safely. I will not be pushed into...

I'm not sure if there is anything wrong here - but I have noticed it recently and it's bugging me. If I accelerate steadily, so the box changes gears between 2000 and 2500rpm, the change from 3rd -> 4th is very slow and seems odd. Initially the revs increase by 200-300rpm then after about 1...

W124 1993 M111 E220 Estate. Grrrrrrrr, lost power to drivers window so pulled up centre console panel to check the switch first, pulled it apart, it looked good all other switches/windows good. Cleaned crud and reclaimed coins ( made 56p:)) from recesses. Dr'window still no go. Next day non...

since i bought my j reg sl300 i have had the sam problem; it won't change up for half a mile. if i floor it there is a 6 second delay before it changes down. i feel like i have half a car and it gets quite exciting when pulling into other traffic! is it the gear box filter that needs changing?

Hi Guys, Have owned my W202 1997 pre facelift C180 since it was a year old and love it - only recently discovered this forum and have found it to be a great source of info! Just recently, immediately after start up, the red light in the base of the rear view mirror has started to slowly...

Very slow sometimes on my home computer, thought it was just my machine but the one at work is the same. Loads the screen fast enough but wont let you scroll up or down for a few seconds, then in fits and starts. Any ideas how to speed it up? Lynall

One of my mirrors takes a lot longer to fold in & out compared to the other side. Not a major problem I know, I just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem and if it was a motor fault or something restricting it.

hi Wheat can be the cause of rattling noise on pressing and realsing accelarator. this rattling is audible on both D (fwd) and R (reverse) only on slow speeds. Location of noise is from underneath the accelarator. Plz help Regards

Still having the problem of my digital clock working slowly? Over 1 week it loses about 10 minutes or so As its digital i wouldnt have thought this possible anybody any ideas as to why this might happen

I seen to have developed a noise at car park speeds, most noticeable at full lock at the bottom of ramps - sounds like outside front tyre is scrubbing - perhaps that all it is, as the car is doing it's best to go straight on even though speed is slow. The sound does give the impression of tread...

Hi Guys, I am concerned about the second hand car I have purchased. Basically, at slow speeds, when I press the break pedal, I feel a tick vibration every 2 seconds. I have driven other cars with ABS and there is no such ticking. It has just been serviced by Mercedes and they said all is fine...

My pc is driving me mad it has got so slow over the last few months but did not realise how slow until i dug out old laptop also on xp, and it started and was ready for action in well under one minute! main pc 2/3 mins then another min to get on the web and some pages can take up to 5 secs or so...

Recently noticed much longer starter turning before the engine fires on these cold mornings [up to 10s on the starter]. Wondered what likely causes were. Am about 5000 miles away from a B service with 85k miles in total. Once started needs a prod or two on the throttle to liven up but after that...

For several weeks I've been aware of the car taking slightly longer than normal to fire up from cold. Well this morning it was not having it, after several attemps it refused to fire at all. A quick look at the exhaust and no vapour, so lack of fuel hence no ignition. A burst of easy start got...

Very slow in fact i timed it this morning and i had done 10miles in 15mins and it was still less than 50% clear then next time i looked it had switched off timer i guess. Does anyone elses take as long as this? Wife says her W203 is also very slow. Lynall

Had to remove the cluster on my 1996 W202 to replace the backlight bulb for the odometer. Due to a lack of space and the recessed bulbs, I had to unplug the cluster completely in order to slide it out between the steering wheel and the dash. Replaced the bulb and put every thing back together...

ok, when i set off when car is cold, i turn first corner out of my street and get a rattle / banging noise from rear n/s ..... doesnt matter if i turn left or right... but once car as run for a few mins... it doesnt do it any more.... had the rear wheel off and had a look, nothing broken...

Sometimes, my 300TE takes a while to start; I have to hold the key in the ignition for about 3-5 seconds before it will spring into life. Once it has started, it will run fine. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this; the other day I started it from cold and it started right on the key...

For some strange reason the clock in the instrument cluster loses time very slowly i set it for 2 minutes fast accoring to my watch on Friday and today it is 1 minute slower It is definatly the clock as have also set it against the pips of BBC radio am really confused:confused:
