I hope you may have some ideas folks because no one else does! My c200 has a strange problem. When I turn the ignition the dash lights up and the cooling engine fan comes on but the engine doesn't start. After a few mins the fan stops and the engine starts first time. Recently the fan has been...

I had not used the car for about a month and when I came to use it today the voltage had dropped to 11.2v and the car would not start. Everything else worked OK but the roof was disabled to save power. I connected a battery charger correctly and charged it for about 30 minutes, the voltage...

hi is there a time-window that vehicles are allowed to stop outside shops for business purposes; ie loading/unloading the vehicle? cheers Derek.

Hi, I just disconnected/reconnected my battery and now I get a "remove key" message popping up when the key is put back to the neutral position. The message is fairly annoying but the "beep...beep...beep.........." is really getting on my nerves. Can this be switched off in the menu? I haven't...

Hello again guys, Been away for a while. Redundancy earlier in the year meant I had to ignore the car (I have a tendancy to spend all my money on shiny things for it:bannana:) but i'm employed and back to enjoying Mercedes ownership again now! I have a few questions, as have been offered...

:dk: Good evening Merc Gurus. My beloved 300D on a '92 plate has developed a pecular fault. When I turn off the engine, everything stops and switches off...except the engine. I'm having to use the fuel cut off lever in the engine compartment. The car's revs drop considerably but she...

I have a w124 coupe facelift model, I am looking at ways to improve the brakes, I have heard that you can fit e500/R129 500sl brakes which have greater stopping power. Has anyone had any experience updating brakes on a w124 coupe?

My C180 has been randomly revving up around 2000+ rpm especially in the morning when its cold. The the car keep revving even without pressing the accelarator at traffic light, either with the Drive, Neutral or Parking.:( The rev seems to stay constant at that level without any sign to decrease...

Hello all, I recently installed Nero; I then discovered that a program called "Nero check" loads automatically with Windows. I have tried to stop that via msconfig but to no avail as at each startup it creates a new "line" and starts. I believe it can be stop via the registry but I do not...

I have a problem with my '89 300CE. When stopping (Usually at complete halt) you hear a kind of grinding noise from the front of the car. It happens at very low speeds under braking. I have replaced: front disks and pads Changed gearbox oil and filter Both front wheel bearings...

I'm used to the electric fan running on after I turn off the engine on my 220CDi but today the whirring noise has gotten quite a bit louder :confused: (2 different people have remarked on it). Do you happen to know if it is just the electric cooling fan which runs on after stopping or is...

This may seem like a daft question, but I'll ask it anyway :D I'm used to driving a manual car, so bear with me.... When you stop in an auto, say at traffic lights, whats the best way to hold the car? Should you: 1) Just stick it in P 2) Keep your foot on the brake 3) Leave it in...
