solved

So I have four squares missing from my gear selected display and my lights on warning/tone isn't working. On the advice of my local indy I squirt some WD into the door switch for lights on and work the button in and out for a while. Test the lights on function and it works and almost immediately...

I thought this may come in handy for someone in the future... I've had problems with the alarm on my W209 CLK cab going off intermittently over the last couple of months. By last week, I'd had enough of going to bed with the keys in hand every night (I know, it takes loving your Merc to a...

Some of you may remember the hesitation problem I was having at around 2000RPM with my m103 engined Brabus 3.6. While trying to eliminate it I: Had the ignition system checked on a scope, it was fine - no change Changed and recalibrated the bosch air flow potentiometer - no change Had the...

For anyone who has got ignition problems with a W210 car, this could possibly be the problem. My ignition over the course of the last two months, progressively would not recognise the key fob. Sometimes it took as many as 5 or 6 attempts before the car would start. But it always started in the...

Thanks to RicaSLK, I now know where to say "hello" as I am a recent joiner of this forum. I put my pictures in the gallery and then didn't know what to do next. So........ hello ! :D jim4

Some of you may remember about this time last year I posted about an E270Cdi that was about as smooth and responsive as a tractor. We've solved the problem - well, found the cause anyhow. Mercedes, in their infinite wisdom, appear to have fitted an "intelligent" "adaptive" drivetrain, that...
