turning

For some reason my soft-close on the drivers side has got "stuck". I can open/close the door, but it won't close all the way ( kinda sticks out a bit) no matter how hard I slam the door. At first I though, oh well-another job to do, however while I was driving "energetically" I turned a sharp...

Hi all, I started taking out the old fabric interior on my W124 today, to replace with the leather that I bought 2 weeks ago. I expected it to be a simple job, but I've hit a problem. One of the floor bolts securing the rear passenger seat was pretty rusty, due to a damp carpet no doubt. I...

Has any one read "Turning Back the Clock, The Life and Times of a Motor Trader" by Jeff Owen. I am only a third of the way through but its an interesting start. You can get it from Amazon for less than £5.

Ever since having my front discs & pads replaced I've had a faint "knock" from the front of the car. It only happens when I turn more than ~45deg. and only once per direction. By that I mean if I turn right it knocks, if I turn right again, nothing.. until I turn left then "knock"! At first I...

Got this from Steve Sutcliffe's Autocar blog: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday Aug 17, 2007 12:00 PM The real cheat Just got back from a tyre test in Hanover, which I know will make my mates Goodwin and Harris deeply jealous...

C220 CDI (Y-Plate) I HAD A FAULT REPORTED AS FRONT L, F : Change bulb: I changed the bulb but the fault is still there. The emergency bulb is being used (fog lamp flashes when turning). :confused: I looked at manual for possible fuse fault, but the list of fuses mentions...

W210 E320 cdi estate - when I put the key into the ignition, it clicks as per normal but then WILL NOT turn. Absolutely wierd as yesterday it was fine. I've just had the Crank position sensor replaced (at great cost because it wouldn't come out so they had to remove greabox :mad: ), and they...

I have one of these centre consuls but no instruction booklet for the radio, the automatic traffic reports are now driving me mad. Could someone let me know what buttons to press to disable this function please. Thanks Martin

Can't say I'm a fan of these new classfied type adds infesting Ebay.Dealers can list their entire stock for £150 a month.Ebay should be about the thrill of the auction and the possibility of picking up a bargain (real or imagined),that's what made it popular in the first place. adam

Have notced a few failed turbo threads, andit seems to have something to do with the EGR allowing muck to clog the moving vanes/actuator - One person mentions running a C220 Cdi with EGR turned off, how can this be done?? BTW does the 270 Cdi have a variable vane turbo or a traditional...

Hi , I have recently bought a 01 SL320, driving down the road from work the car was stuck in one gear so i pulled over and turned off engine.... went to restart and the car wouldnt turn over nothing coming from the engine at all??? AA guy checked battery and is 12 volts all lights and...

I have an audio 10 CD in my CLK but no manual (its on its way apparently). Does anyone know how on earth I turn off that infernal Traffic interruption thing! Thanks

First noticed last Friday..... I've got a CLUNK when turning left and some times when going straight if the road is a bit bumpy. Seems to be from the driver's side. Could this be a worn suspension bush or a broken spring ? The ride heights measured from ground to wheel arch are .....Near...

So the story goes!!! Last purchase I made from Ebay was with MB_Tuner which is documented in a previous thread on the grief I had in trying to get the goods I paid for. Anyway just won an auction today for some locking wheel bolts link here...

I've been a bit cheeky.. this is not a MB specific question :D but thought it might be a generic symtom across all cars. Basically when I turn near full lock on my Polo (usually in a carpark) I get a cyclic 'hollow' warbling noise from the front wheels*, not really that loud, but I...

Strange feeling at Speed when Turning Hi I have had my 95 C200 sport for just under a month. The car drove great when I got it but now at speed (over 40mph++) the car feels really strange when I turn into a corner. Almost feels unstable. It drives and feels ok at town speeds. Ive checked...

My 98 C200 Esprit 110k has been developing a weird sensation when turning right especially when taking 3 point turns/parking ( only at slow speed ). It feels like the whole car is drifting right, like I have no control whatsoever when turning right.Also sometimes it feels like I'm turning over a...

Hi Have an S reg (1998) C250 TD estate and have noticed an uneven rubbing sound (similar sound to front disc rubbing against discs pads) when turning left or going around left hand corners. No similar noises when going straight or turning right. Has anyone else had similar problems and...
