I've carried out the test for faulty fuel pump relay as per the MB CD. It points to the FP relay being at fault as all the voltages were correctly read. What is it that causes the FP relay to fail? The one I have currently is brand new (from previous owner) with the casing off, I can...

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | World News :: Huge solar flare threatens chaos Of course its not at like like the Daily Excess to predict that we're all doomed, but if anything at all is affected, I don't expect my CL500 to work properly, having just thrown money at it...

A member of this forum has 'when was the last time you tried your emergency key' as part of his sign off. I never have so decided to give it a whirl (car is six years old) the key works fine, however, when you open a door that has been unlocked with the key, the alarm is meant to sound,(on a...

I want to sell my 300CE and go for the 300-24 version instead. The car has done 184000 on the clock and rising and will have a service done on it soon. Has excellent interior with the drivers seat needing some attention but expected due to age of the car. The bodywork however, is in excellent...

For anyone that thinks their car head gasket might be faulty, a sniff test with a 4 gas analyser should detect combustion gas in the coolant but if you don't have access to one then a block test will give a pretty definitive result. I tested a cooling system today on one of my cars I've just...

I have a comand on my workbench for testing , in which I just bought it for £70 for spare parts , But it seems to be working OK except for the following, Is it normal to get the error on the screen "NAVIGATION CAN NOT BE ACTIVATED" if no GPS antenna is not connected?

I still want to upgrade my sound system and I wonder what my command unit would be worth and what would I be able to get for it. Is 100% working condition. I will include SAT NAV disc with it. Anyone intrested - give me reasable offer.

As many of you young timers and old timers might be aware, Mercedes often conduct testing of cars before they launch them.. (do'h) POINT 1. You see all these test mules running around tallying up millions of miles of test data across the board... But these millions of miles are quite possibly...

Has anyone got test proceedure please for lambda sensor on 2004 C220 cdi W203 646, 5 wire plug with red wire with dpf system, getting no reading when scanning data no fault code?

I'm sure the aircon on my c220cd is faulty, however being a BMW man I've never come across the EC button, does this turn the AC off, it so I'm assuming the wheels control the temperature. Is there a way to test what component have failed or if a simple regassing is required?

Hi All, Recently my BAS ASR ABS lights have come on. They light up as soon as the ignition is switched on & stay on. (without touching brake pedal) I have read on here that a common cause of this (& cheapest fix) is sometimes the brake light switch. I have changed this with a brand new dealer...

Is it safe to test a NTG2.5 bought from Ebay on a workbench by just connecting the power supply to the unit before swapping it for the Comand APS50 Or will it loose its coding or maybe it will lock Thanks

I recently had to change a track rod end and therefore wanted my tracking readjusted. I have always got my tracking done at STS Rainham in Kent in the past and so went back there today. Well STS has been taken over by Tyre Pro and instead of the traditional laser tracking machine they now have a...

Hi, Basically i've had the 'running lean' codes (2 of them) for a while now and i want to get rid of them before they develop into a misfire, i am inclined to think it is vacuum leak but i'm not quite sure how to test for this type of thing. The car is running perfect and the only things i...
