stay

I've (a) never had a Merc before and (b) never had an auto before so my expectations may be unreasonable but ........ If my car stays in 5th for more than a nanosecond I would be shocked. Even going down hill if I put a gram more pressure on the throttle it shifts down to 4th and then will only...

Has anyone any dealings with Unipart oil. Seems a good deal at £22.61 for 5 litres of 5W-40 synthetic, MB229.3, price includes VAT and delivery. Is it worth a go or should I stay well clear.

Like the title says, the dash lights stay on overnight and kill the battery. Took bleedin' ages to find out what was killing the battery so fast. My wife spotted the lights still on one morning. It is just the lights round the rim of the cluster, not the needles or digits. Phoned MB and...

sometimes when turning right the indicator won't stay on , i have the steering column fully extended towards me and have noticed there is quite a lot of movement in it . you can twist it and that temporarily cures the problem , is there a way to secure it so it doesn't move ? thanks mike .

Hi, Looking for some help please on my Comand ntg 2.0 unit fitted to my R Class w251 2007 plate. Been having a few problems with the battery on and off for the last few months, and then drove 500 miles to go skiing in france. 2 Days later the engine only JUST started, next day after driving...

I have a C-240 Sport (2.4 V6) 1999 estate and recently it died on me one minute driving fine then nothing. After about 10 mins it will start again and drives absolutely fine but only for 500 yds. After having sat for 2 weeks (been installing a new kitchen and had no time) it started straight...

Hi All, We have realised that most of our family and friends are buggering off over christmas so we are thinking of doing that too. Probably looking to go skiing for the week and we will be driving there. I dont want to do the whole stint in one go so thinking of getting the chunnel...

Not sure why but they auto cancel after a couple of seconds which is annoying. Even when not twirling the wheel. Is there a plastic collar that has maybe worn out or do I just replace the whole stalk as a unit (think that's what I did on my old W124)

- when the engine is turned off?

Hi folks. I'm in London this Saturday/Sunday and need a safe place to park my S210, preferably within easy distance of the tube. Saturday evening and Sunday daytime will be spent jumping on and off public transport, visiting all the usual places of interest.. On Sunday night Mrs Ringway...

I have just had a genuine ipod interface kit installed at my local MB dealer. (Part number - MA 204 870 44 96) It fits nice in the glovebox and works great. However, when I take the keys out the ignition the ipod switches off then about 20 seconds later I hear it bleep and it powers up. Is...

I have a problem with my S600 W140 that I require some info on. I have not driven the car for about 2 months and it has been connected to an optimate battery charger/conditioner. When parked up it was fine, however when started and driven on Saturday the ABS and ESP/BAS lights in the dash...

Hi All, I have a request for help. Myself, the good wife and master maxi4 (3 yrs) are plannning on a short break in cornwall. We plan to stay somewhere close to a beach for sat/sun. On monday we hope to head to the eden project, look around and stay overnight somewhere close; then head home...

Arrived back in snowy London from the north about 10 days ago with a salted Mercedes. Cleaned thoroughly. Parked up in my space (on flat ground in P, parking brake not on) and found public transport a much better option for getting into C London since. Came to start up the beast this...

Finally got my W211 back :bannana: Turned out that she hit me hard enough to bend the towbar :eek: All nice and shiny now with a new rear light cluster that just MAY have been broken pre-accident... :rolleyes: The W204 hire car was OK but it's E for me! Didn't think much of the satnav which...

Me and the missus fancy a long weekend in Liverpool. She's never been there; I spent a few hours looking around the docks redevelopment area about 15 years ago and that's what fired my interest in going back for a stay. Unfortunately, the sum total knowledge of the place we have between us is...

Am off to North Uist in early August, and going to drive from London. Idea is to stop overnight somewhere near Carlisle. Need beds for 3 adults (all single). Anyone got any good suggestions? Travellodge charges £60, but it's for a double bed and a sofa bed, which is sub optimal. Thanks.

Gents I have a rear passenger door stay off a 1988 300TE, Brand New Original part. I never got round to fitting it. Cost me about £15. Going FREE to a good home if someone wants to paypal me the postage of about £3.50 Si

I've got a W210 (E220 CDI estate). Not sure why, but the brake lights are on permantley. I plan to get the car serviced soon but need to get this sorted in the mean time. Any ideas? Many thanks
