About a month ago I acquired a 1985 w123 230e with 66k on the clock which is a pleasure to drive. In the last week, every time I start it in the morning it starts without a problem but then the revs...

When start the car, and start moving, I get what sounds like a motor trying to move something quiet loudly coming from the passenger vent (nearest the door).
After 10 seconds or so, it stops and is...

Hi all, newbie here. Had a number of C Class estates, for even more space I now have an old E Class.
Not 'interesting old', it's a 2000 model E240 (2.4 engine) in pretty good shape, bought it with 98,000 miles and full MB service history. Pretty gutless, tbh, and around 30mpg, but very...
I'm looking for some help/advice please regarding my 2006 CD220i estate auto which has a strange problem of draining the battery dead on start sometimes.
The batter can be fully charged having either jumped the car or charged overnight on a charger and when attempting to start the starter...
Hi, I am hoping someone can shed some light on this.....
I have a 2000 CLK230 Kompressor, On startup it is extremely 'lumpy'. Revving between 500 and 1000rpm continuously up and down.
I can leave it standing until it warms up but doesn't change until it has been driven.
When driving...

I have an E320 sport with 120K on the clock and a white smoke problem.
When the car is started it can sometimes take a while to start (5-6 seconds) and when it starts a puff of white smoke is emitted. If I turn the ignition onto position 3 for 10 seconds prior to start the engine starts...
So I've had a clicking sound for a little while and the car is booked in with the doc.
However, just wondering if anyone can hazard a guess as to what it could be.
I thought was the SC pulley but I noticed it got louder this week and on closer listening, it is actually coming from the...

Hi All,
I've noticed the last couple of times I've started the car a slight rattle on start up. On each occasion, it has happened from cold start and only when the engine hasn't "caught" cleanly on all cylinders.
The chain and tensioner where changed 8k miles ago and I've checked the...

Have noticed a bit of blue smoke (defo blue not grey or white) from Nat's car on start up. Seems to clear immediately. It's a 2004 with 94k on the clock and comprehensive history.
What's the most likely causes please? Valves seals, leaky turbo. Want to nip it in the bud if possible.
