stopped

As the title says, for some reason my comand has stopped displaying incoming or text messages that are already in the phone while docked in the cradle?!?! Every other telephone function works fine, I can see the contacts, last dialed etc. But no messages in the inbox will display, and they...

Any ideas? Please let it be cheap! CLK208 Facelift.

Driving to work this morning the left wiper stuck mid-wipe and the other wiper crashed into it on the way back. I parked up and put the dodgy wiper back in it's park position and the other wiper works normally. Does the wiper use two separate motors then ? Is there anything else that may be...

Hi all, the auto lights on my 2003 W203 have stopped working (on all the time), anyone got any ideas where to look? Thanks jon

just had an interesting chat with one of East Sussex's finest police officers - let's call him officer Dibble :) The discussion went something like this Dibble "good afternoon sir, is this your car" me "yes, why have you stopped me?" Dibble "How fast were you driving just before we...

(no double entendre intended :D ) My horn has started to sound like a Daihatsu's. One of them seems to be silent. Can anyone tell me where it's located, I ran out of places to look under the bonnet. Is it easily accessible? Thanks Karl

Hi all, I was on my way this morning to do a small job for a friend and thought id take the wifes 300te as it had'nt been driven for a while. Yesterday the window cleaner couldnt get near our front window and asked if i could move her back a bit and i found out she was dead! I charged her...

Anyone know how to diagnose if it needs parts etc? Mucho gracias. CJ

Noticed this morning that both front seats have stopped working. They both go forwards, back, up and down, but all of the orthopedic airbag systems are not inflating. Where should I start looking?

COMAND failure. For those who may have read, My COMAND system locked out 800yrds from my home having just completed a 300mile journey. The CD changer still had its disc lights on, and it stopped playing halfway through track 3 of CD 3. (Who painted the Moon black, Hayley Westenra). The Nav...

I had a problem with my W140 on one of the very hot days recently!! The aircon stopped working (blowing hot air) - when I got out, I could hear the gas comming out, at what appeared to be towards the front of the car (condenser area). I know the eveporator (behind the dash) sometimes goes...

I have just added a CD changer to my W203 (following instructions gleaned from this forum). After this addition my radio plays for about 30 secs and then stops! The word P R O D appears on the display. Does anyone know what has happened ? Can the Can the Star diagnostics from the 'Stealers@ help...

Hi, I have a 1996 c230 estate. I had it for about a year, the heater/AC fan has been intermittantly stopping for a couple of months, now it simply doesn't work. I've checked the fuse which is fine. I removed and dismantled the control unit and checked the switch and the resistance was changing...

Hi, I tried to have my disks and pads changed today :( I say tried because when my chap got my wheel off the existing disks were huge :crazy: (330m m in fact...) It came as quite a shock and most of the people that I spoke to (including Jimmy) could only find disks and pads up to the size...

Bought a W211 E320 CDi last year, with 6k on the clock. Was showing first service (B) due at 12.5k or so, but I figured that since my daily commute is 40 miles each way, nearly all motorway, this would rack up steadily. Sure enough, first service ended up due at just under 16k miles. When the...

The red led in my rear view mirror doesn't work. All the alarm functions are ok as far as I'm aware. (How can I check them without breaking in?) Does the rear view mirror come apart or is it glued together? This assumes that I can remove the overhead lighting console to unplug it. I still...

Came back from holiday and the battery was flat on my car (Comand 2.0 gave the usual warning). Got the car going but a week later it happened again as I hadn't given the car a good run. Anyway, got the car going and took it for a good run and everything was ok but thought I better switch...

The familly faithful since new '83 230TE has a problem with it's clock. Its stopped - i know the car is near immaculate and time has stood still for it - but this is taking things too far! Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be and how to fix it? I don't want to have to take...

Had a bit of a worrying experience this morning. For about 30 minutes I had the"dirty" feeling of having an overbadged car (sorry Fuzzer). I say this as for the said 20-30 minutes my Kompressor badge was surplus to requirements!!! I started car and all was fine. A while later when car...
