Hi, this is another call for help. I have an on going issue, and have been following this forum closely to see if anyone has the same problem as I have. Last year I bought a C250TD Elegance 1997 cheap, with the understanding that it has a fuel issue. After a quick skim of the forum here I...

EDIT: car is 2008 S320 CDI, W221 Hi, I filled 15L of Kerosene home heating oil by accident. The handle was black and it was beside the diesel so i thought it was diesel. When I realised what I had done I put in 20L of diesel. Car drove fine. The next day I drove about 15miles no problem...

Hi all - I've a 2002 SL55 which has been in storage for the last few years - been started from time to time and driven a few feet forwards and back, but otherwise just sat. I went to extract it last month, and it started fine, drove it out, left it running for a few minutes to warm up...

Good evening gents, Here is the issue: As the cold weather came, the car would not crank anymore. Had this issue last winter, and I did bypass the starter relay, mounting another start button which takes + 12 V from the radioset and gets it directly to the starter's relay. Also, the green...

Hi, I have a 96 C200 auto. Today it decided it didnt want to play. It started and immediately cut (as it does if you do not start it quick enough when you unlock it) I have also noticed the alarm no longer bleeps upon unlock/lock and the red LED in the rear view mirror no longer...

Hi I have an annoying problem with my 1995 w202 c200. Every now and then, when I start it up, it stalls. If I take the key out and put it back in and start it again it works fine. This doesnt happen all the time and I cant find any pattern to when it does happen. Has anyone heard of this...

I suppose one would come in handy this summer.

2006 c320Cdi, runs fine, no issues, but it seems reluctant to start from cold. I wait for the heater plug light to go out, then crank away until it starts to pick up, then more waiting for all 6 cylinders to chime in. It hasn't let me down yet, but either I'm doing something wrong (no...

Hello, I've been having a lot of problems with my 280ce, firstly it runs on LPG, unfortunately it ran out of LPG and then when switched back to petrol it didn't work, which in turn meant a 50 quid tow 10 miles home.... It has since been filled up with LPG, half filled with petrol. It does run...

Hello there, I'm a new member asking a question on behalf on my dad, who's got a 1987 'D' w124 300 TE. Today the car would start as normal, but only run for a few seconds before cutting out - enough to get it half the way down the road, where it now resides. The rev counter would stick...
