thing

Hi all, My 2007 C180k has developed a fault were first thing in the mornings (especially when cold) when I first start the car the brake pedal is extremely hard to push, only when the engine has been running for 10-15 seconds am I able to push the pedal easily. The brakes work fine after this...

In the spare wheel compartment I have a thing with a white plastic winder sticking out of it. Any clues what the winder is for/ does?

Have looked on fleabay, etc cannot find any - does such an item exist?. Would like genuine Merc ones please. If anyone has a part number for saloon variants that would be good. Thanks

Thought I'd better introduce myself. Thinking about a W211 E55 Estate. Seen a couple advertised with one that's pretty close. Just need to decide if rwd is for me since I said the last time I wouldn't go back (although that's in another thread) Currently living just outside Newcaslte and am...

Just wondered what this is between the engine/fuel lines on the left and the inlet manifold I'm the right. The long shiny box type thing?

See the pic, it's the black round part in front of the interior light. I've checked the manual and can't find anything in there, and I have no idea what this is/does!! Anyone care to enlighten me please? :)

Does ETC and ESG mean the same thing? I have had the computer on my car and it says ETC faulty. I have tried looking it up and it appears that the ESG is the same thing, would just like to know before purchasing one from the net. Seems to be a speciailist thing as all the the garages near...

Anyone know anything about this? I routinely use Firefox, and jave Kaspersky Internet Security installed. A pop-up window appeared saying Firefox had detected a security threat to my PC. The address at the top was http://update79.molders.co.be. I closed that, and another opened saying 2Your...

HI all, Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a rear blind for the w210 01 estate? There is a track either side on the rear frame and i have no idea what it iss for but it looks like it could be a runner for a blind maybe? Mark

I approached and roundabout and saw a 10 plate e-class estate approaching from the right. I stopped and then my jaw dropped at what I first thought was glowing brake discs then saw they were not red/orange. What it turned out to be were circular lights set in behind the wheels that were ice...

Just spotted this for sale whilst trawling the trader: Carlians » East Horsley » Surrey » UK - Vehicle Details I've never heard of a CLK55K - is this just a mis-description by the dealer? There's no Kompressor badges on the car. Although I'd imagine it's a bit lairy if it is the real deal -...

I've got a 1994, C250D 5-cyl diesel (202) and I think my alternator has gone out on me. I'm taking it out to have it tested but for the life of me I cannot find the belt tensioner to loosen the serpentine drive belt. Can you point me in the right direction?

I was doing the rear shocks last week, this involved ripping out the boot liner and some other bits and bobs, once it was all out I saw a strange trumpet-like black plastic funnel poking out from the left side of the boot area. It appears to have what looks like an aircon valve in the bottom of...
