sticky

I am looking for great condition parts for my C43 and I would like to have some good website infos about MB breakers. Not all are listed on fleabay so can you guys direct me to some great UK breakers on internet that ships within EU? Thanks

The title says it all! Just bought a 52 plate C220 Cdi. Absolutely delighted with the car, but, although the foot brake releases correctly the light doesn't go off immediately. I heard the switch is a common problem that has been covered before on the forum. Could someone please direct to the...

Whats the best thing to apply to the rubbers for sticky windows? WD40? Grease? Thanks, Key

Hi I had a sticky manky knob on the Audio 30 in my new Sl and after trying a few places i managed to get one of Ebay. Yes it was expensive at £10 for a knob but it feels and looks so much better. Might be of use to someone Becker MB Audio 30 BE3300 Volume Knob Spare Part on eBay (end...

This afternoon on my way back from Hastings with the family my brake fluid boiled. From my point of view the brake pedal just went flat on the floor with no brakes at all. A couple of computer warning systems flashed up but I was too busy trying to get the car to stop and turned off to really...

Ok, so my C180 has the good old "sticky needle syndrome" the petrol guage and speedometer quite often take a while to start working, particularly bad in cold weather. Once they are working, if i stop, the accelerator needle sticks to the pin again, and so on. This is starting to get quite...

Now that the 320e is finally on the road I have been driving it around and noticed that the throttle seems very stiff compared to other cars I have driven. I realise that some modern cars like my previous E55 are drive by wire and therefore not a great comparison but you have to press the...

hey all sorry i havent been on in a while, i've recently started having a few problems with my wiper blade starting to get "stiff" in the middle third of the windscreen. i thought at first it might be the actual wiper blade itself but now on looking at that i'm thinking it's the actual arm of...

Hi, I have a 2004 C220 CDi with 70k on the clock, regular servicing and not abused. The problem is that occasionally, mostly when exiting a roundabout, the engine/garbox sticks in a low gear and keeps the revs up at 3-4k limiting me to 20-30 mph. If I stop and engage neutral, let the engine...

Hello, I am posting this with the hope it helps someone else solve the issue I had. Symptoms My new 300TE had a drivers door that would only shut with a reasonable slam, not the nice push my 200TE door would close with. I also noted that the drivers side door car was not fitted properly...

Hello all, Another question! My W124 1994 has a sticky throttle. When you pull away, you have to give the pedal an gooood push as it is quiet stiff. Once you are going, it is fine. Reverse is even worse! You give it a decent push and waaaaaayhaaaaaaay, you're flying backwards too fast...

Hi, Well, I've used every sane household product that I can think of to shift what remains of a self-adhesive disk (Tom Tom Mount) left by the last owner. Is there a product I can use that is aggressive enough to lift what I presume is the remains of glue without ruining the dash? Ta Gary

I'm a new member and would appreciate some help. I have bought a lovely W124 multivalve diesel and for the last 4 weeks it has been faultless. Here in southern Spain the night time temperatures are just beginning to get down to around 11 or 12 degrees C. When I cold start the car in the morning...

Hi All I have a clk230 convertible and the drivers window jamms in the front window rubber runner as it is split and perished, i have just been to mercedes in brentford who say that this rubber is part of the door!. On my return i have stripped out the door panel etc,. and i think that the...

I'm sure everyone's had an experience with these.... I have a stainless steel tax disc holder which came with the transparent sticky pads, which are blimmin' useless, my lovely shiney disc holder is now all scratched from falling off numerous times!:mad: So, does anyone know of transparent...

what are the limits for the offset for wheels for W124 (coupe if they are different)? I saw on the file various offsets from ET28 to ET48. What about the centre bore? is it the same for all MBs? would these fit...

I have just bought an 88 190D which is generally in great order, and past MOT on Saturday. The only problem is that, when cold, changing to 3 or 4th gears, it will pause and then engage with a bit of a thump. It seems to be mostly when the car is warming up, but not necessarily so. But it is...

Hi guys, My single windscreen wiper began moving very slowly yesterday and was struggling to make it across the screen. I followed the wiper thread and took the cover off and re-greased the thing. There was literally no grease on it so it defo needed it ! Anyway that fixed the movement...

The self adhesive pads that hold on my numberplate were past their best so I took the time to renew them this evening. Nothing spectacular in itself, but I was having trouble removing the residue of the old pads before fitting the new ones (I actually used double sided body moulding tape for...

I think we should make a sticky thread with a list of breakeryards in the UK. Don't you think this is a mbclub MUST HAVE thread? Here we go, the first one from me: :bannana: DRONSFIELDS: http://www.dronsfields.com/ Dronsfields Mercedes Wall Hill Mill Wall Hill Road Dobcross, Oldham OL3...
