stop

I've had my C250 Bluetec for a week now and clocked up just shy of 1,000 miles. Probably 50-66% of these on motorway or dual carriageway with some decent fuel economy to show for it. My (perceived) issue is that the start stop hasn't kicked in since the morning of day 2. I always have the...

Last week the fan started to run an full power for about 10 minutes and then yesterday just wouldn't stop. I did a 40 mile m-way run and the fan just kept going at 100%. I had to pull the fuse just to shut it up. I did a google search and it has happened to a few people, but with no clear...

As title. Had this strange problem tonight. Anyone had any experience of it?

I've read posts discussing how cars with the stop/start feature don't always stop the engine when the battery isn't fully charged, engine is cold, etc, etc. I've just been test driving a Tesla - and I'm now even confused about this. The engine never started once. Is it faulty? .

I disconnected the battery ground connection today and after reconnection noticed the hazard lights wont flash anymore with alarm arm/disarm :dk: ? also the interior light both in cabin and back of van wont switch off at all when on auto mode :dk: ? appreciate any help, thanks.

Why does computer stop at 40 mpg?????

Hi can anyone advise how to repair this error? Is it the compressor? If so can it be repaired or is it a new unit? Also does anyone know of a reputable garage near the Burnley area. Grover

I found this idea on the net: Basically its 2 hanging baskets linked together to form a spherical cage. The smaller birds nip through the holes and the crows and rooks are prevented from nicking all the seed. :bannana: Eddie

Hi, Hope someone here can give me some good advice. I got the message mentioned in the Title while driving. Brakes failed to work for 95%. I have taken it to the indy - done a diagnostics and got advised the the SBC needs replacing. I am not so sure about that, main reason behind it...

I like stop start but find it inconsistent in its application. Yes I know it depends on battery charge and temperatures etc. Coming home today 35 miles ambient temperature 16 degrees C, engine temperature 92 degrees and it didnt work when I pulled up at a set of lights. On other occassions when...

I Guys, This is my fist posting so hopefully I have done it correctly . I have a 2001 SLK which I have owned for a year. She has full MB service history and just 59,000 miles. Sometimes such as yesterday, she just would not accelerate from standstill. It was like she had fallen asleep and the...

I've had the 'raise car' periodically for the 3 years I've had it but yesterday and today I've been getting the above in red when the front OS takes load. I can clearly see the front OS is slightly lower so going to get it looked at - so I guess oil/air leak but because it is only one...

Hi There, Today new problem occur :( Driving by in the morning to work, after about 15 minutes of driving at the traffic lights, while accelerating car started to jerk at the next traffic lights, jerked and died. Have any ideas where to look for the cause?

Hi Just had a problem where my a200 turbo 2005 engine was switched off but for some reason the starter carried on spinning?? Not engaging, but just the motor spinning. Could seam to get it to stop, then after 4-5 min it slowed down and then lots of burning plastic smoke came from the starter...

Hi all - I bought a very attractive Automatic 1998 C240 a few weeks ago - i've used it every day since. I do like it but it has a couple of what i think are minor issues. It cuts out in traffic and/or very slow speeds. It has a quite jerky gear change ... It has came out of gear twice (i...

Hi all, I have been having a problem with idling, at any engine temp, when I come to a stop the revs drop to 600 to 700 and it stall on occasion. If I put the car in neutral the revs lift and it avoids the stall. I'm selling the car and a helpful prospective buyer located a connection on...

Driving me crazy but doesn't really warrant the inconvenience of having to take it to the garage, so I hope someone can help. The load cover on my W211 Estate clips into two channels at the rear of the car and when the tailgate is opened, the load cover is raised up and out of the way by a...
