Having got a stuck bonnet open quicker than anticipated I:bannana: thought I would invest some time in a (LONG) maiden post to address this and some closely related topics.
This probably ought to be three separate posts but there are limits!:cool:
First off, I have been suffering a vicious...
hi guys,i was driving home the other day and the auto box stayed in 2nd gear.The next time i got in it ,it was ok.I had it plugged in and it came up with P220A.Y3/6N2-Y3/6N3.Can someone please reassure me that it isn't the ECU on the gearbox about to go.Thanks for reading.
Hi All,
Well, the summer is here - has been for a few weeks really.
Took the SL out today and put the roof down and up a few times. Got home tonight and went to put it back up again, the cover popped up, roof started going and stopped about a third of the way up. Nothing. It was noted by my...
Hi everyone, don't know if someone can help. I have S320 1997 Limo which goes in limp mode sometimes and steering goes stiff at the same time, after restarting the car mostly drives normal. Since last 2 days car stuck in 1st gear, won't shift after 10 hours standing the car drives normal again...

This is a strange one, the passenger headrest wont go down. Yet when u fold the seat forward ( clk 320 w209) it retracts. This must mean its not the motor... any ideas on how to fix it??
Hi
This vans been laid up 12 months and ran before that now a compression test gives
psi test
cylinder 1 = 170
cylinder 2 = 50
cylinder 3 = 0
cylinder 4 = 150
I'm wondering if rings could be stuck on 2 and 3 cylinders, its worth trying so could I put a lube down cylinders 2 and 3...
Hi All,
Yesterday, as we have been driving along and got onto motorway, car got stuck in 5th gear. Noticed that on the rev counter, that we have been doing 75mph on 2200rpm or so. Stopped the car on the hard shoulder, turned it off, started again, and then it stuck in the 1st gear. Had to...
W204 Saloon. When I pull the red bonnet release lever the bonnet lifts slightly.
It doesn't raise the full way, but you can squeeze your hand in and reach the latch under the bonnet but when you pull it and try to lift the bonnet it seems stuck on the passengers side somewhere.
I wasn't sure...
Hi,
trying to find out what sends a signal to the tailgate to unlock it so you can use the catch on the tailgate to lift open. At the moment it is getting a random signal from somewhere and opening on its own accord.
Update - now totally US. Won't open as what ever sends a signal to unlock is no...
Hi all
My 2002 220cdi auto estate started playing up by not starting. To clarify, I put key in and dash lights up, turn to start and nothing. Turn off, turn on and away we go. Next time dash lights up, won't start. Turn off and back on and nothing. Wiggle gearlever while in park, try key again...
The tailgate on my 03 A-class won't open...
Although the handle moves fine, the internal mechanism doesn't 'pull' far enough to release its hold on the striker pin bolted to the rear sill.
Having removed the trim panel, from the inside I was able to open it last week by pushing and wiggling a...
Hi all
I have a 2000 W-Reg ML320.
Recently I had a problem with it being stuck in limp mode and it seemed not to be getting out of 1st gear. Also the dash was not showing the P/N/R/D.
I bought a second hand gear selector and have just put it in.
The good news is that the car does now drive...
Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum as of today so hello to you all.
I have an 04/05 SL500 that is currently stuck in park, I can get everything else running but I just can't move it. I'm aware there is quite a common fault with the selectors but is there a way of over riding the park issue...
C200K 2001 vintage (203 model) stuck in Park. Told to remove trim around the auto change lever (which was easy), and then press the button exposed. Can only see a white button but pressing it does nothing as far as I can see. Still stuck in Park but fortunately car in my garage!
Where is the...
Drivers side, split rear seat won't go down. When I pull the release handle there is no click like the other side so it seems the cable has disconnected which is a known weakness.
Searches reveal it's probably beyond my modest (to none exsistent) spannering skills.
Should I look for a...
i know that this is an 'oldie' and I have seen some of the ideas on how to fix this BUT wanted an idea of how long it would take to solve or how much an indie garage might charge ---I am USELESS and worried that i will make a mess of the interior.
The catch that releases the rear 2 seat is not...
Hi all.
Had a good look round and couldn't find anything related to my '02 CLK 230K's roof's particular problem. Basically the roof's body cover does not lift out of the way.
The bow part of the roof lifts but the body cover stays put. The pump runs and runs waiting for the cover. I've not...
