stationary

Hello all, A couple of months ago the old Benz started to make a strange tapping noise when stopping with gear leaver in D . As soon as I put it in N the noise stops . I tried everything to figure out where it's coming from but no joy. I stopped the car against a wall , in gear so I could...

Hi, We tried to start my old merc after it being parked on my drive for anything up to 8 years. Won't fire. :wallbash: - Checked it has a spark and the tank is half full. - Smells like petrol at the exhaust fumes. - Pressed the 'tyre valve' on the fuel rail, it is pumping squirts...

All I've noticed a pronounced sag to the driver side on my wife's 1986 R107 500SL. I've just parked it in a number of spots on the road to eliminate any camber induced lean, and it definitely sits lower on the driver side when viewing from the rear. A quick pootle around and it drives just...

Hello all and happy new year! We've recently purchased a W202 C200 R Rej and seem to be having problems with the acceleration. When stationary, you can't out the foot down when accelerating as the car turns off. You have re-start the car once the SRS light turns off. You can only gently apply...

Hi to you all!! Anticipating that spring might finally arrive I would find it very convenient to be able to continue the raising or lowering of my roof even if I start to move off, eg when in a line of stop start queuing traffic. I read somewhere that it is possible to achieve this via a mod...

Just thinking outside the box here, would it be possible to lower my R-Class air suspension when stationary for ease of access for clients by somehow splicing into the air suspension pipes with a T join, (or letting the air out through the compressor) with the pipe attached to a twist valve...

This happened to someone I know recently. The car was parked, he was offloading some stuff out of the boot, key was in the ignition. He was away from the car (it was not on the road, but on a quiet peice of land away from any busy road etc)... and he heard an almighty BANG. Went to the car...

Is it possible to retro-fit the Webasto type heater to the face-lift 203?

With the ever increasing traffic jams and more automatics now than ever I was wondering how long people sit in drive rather than neutral/park when in traffic jams. My limited knowledge of auto gearboxes leads me to believe that it wouldn't take too long (minutes maybe) to overheat a torque...

Hi Everyone, I've a low-mileage (35k) CL420 that is ultra-smooth except that when the car is stationary but in drive (eg being held back by the foot brake)there is a perceptible background noise that goes away either when the brake is released or if the gear is shifted to neutral or park...

Im going to have a look at a car tomorrow that a friend is interested in buying. The Russian MB VIN site threw this code up which Ive never seen before and googling is no help: 997 stationary car for use on exhibition (body and engine made ready for exhibition) (с 01.01.1962) Just curious...

Hi 1994 W124 estate when i am stopped at a junction, indicating (any direction) the indicators have started to stop flashing (and remain off). When this happens i also cannot work the rear screen demister (light comes on and goes off straight away on the button), and the intermittent...

W124 '94 143,000 Should i be worried? Well i am stationary and in neutral (how to describe this) the car vibrates, then nothing, then vibrates.Its subtle but as with any new purchases you kind of take note of everything.(called paranoia) Nothing comes to mind what it could be. It obviously...
