What's the best (and least aggressive) solution for removing the strips of tape used to stick previous tyre weights onto painted wheels. White spirit perhaps?

Have the dreaded sticky steering wheel - any suggestions to clean it please :dk:

I have noticed and have seen a lot of posts regarding AC. A lot of people suggested that when they press the AC button on their Mercs the lights blinks for few seconds 5 times then stays RED, whereas it should turn off. This problem means you get no cold air. Reason why it blinks is because...

A while ago, I took out the waterproofing from my W202 when fiddling with it for the rally... The waterproofing sheet was held on by a black sticky rubber-like material, which I found was perfect to stop rattles and vibrations when putting speakers in. Any idea what that stuff is/was? and...

As you can probably see from my previous posts I have only owned my W209 clk240 for only a month now. My cluster (instrument clocks) has been playing up since I've purchased the car. Problems: - Once in a while my speedometer needle will not pass 40 mph (fortunately there a an electronic...

The accelerator on my 1999 E 200 is jerky and not nearly as smooth as it should be. I've lubricated the short length of cable and the linkage on the RH side of the bulkhead, but no better. Anybody out there able to help?:(

Hi Guys Well i ended up biting the MB bullet and getting a E250 CDI CAB. Absolutely love the car, and whole ownership experience so far.. I have one problem though, its quite a big one and I'm really unsure on how to handle It! When i ordered the car i was aware of a Facelift coming...

How do you remove the sticky, glue like substance that is on indicator stalks / buttons etc from years of finger touching? Cheers Greg

I have just bought a 2001 320 CLK cabriolet. The roof gets stuck on opening and needs a little push up at the front each time to start the folding sequence (after the windows have gone down, the back has opened up and the glass is ready to go into the boot). The push up at the front, whilst...

Finally after trying many different products, I found one that does an excellent job at removing the sticky residue from the steering wheel and glove box buttons and the headlight switch area. The solvent is denatured alcohol. Use sparingly and lightly as it can remove some of the color...

Dear Techies, I feel like i'm on a bit of roll so I'm trying to solve another problem with my trusty VW. The car recently developed a very audible background whirring noise while the car is moving, it also pulls to one side. Alignment I thought - turned out to be fine. It pulls to the left...

I am just about to hand over the cash for an '05' plate SLK200. The oil filler cap seems to be stuck, and didn't have the tools to help undo it. Is this common for a car that's done 38k, or should I worry

It's as though the surface layer of the buttons has become tacky and sticky to the touch. All the other switches in the car are OK. Has anyone experienced this problem and how did they get rid of the stickiness?

Hi All Is there an easy fix for a a 1995 E220 estate, the throttle feels stiff like cable is rubbing, had a quick look and the cable seems to have clear plastic covering. Would silicone spray help or is it a replacement cable. Its not really that bad just makes it feel heavy. Thanks in...

Hello from a new forum member but a keen motoring enthusiast... I have had my CL for about a year now with no real issues but recently I have had a few little niggles. The passenger window has just started to have problems. When closing the window from fully down it often stops part way up...

I have the sticky instrument cluster on my W211 (sticks at 20mph) - can anyone recommend a repair centre in the Newbury area? Also, how easy a fix is the thermostat? Seen previous posts about doing it but how hard/easy is it to do?
