weird

Hi folks, I have a 2005 Vito that seems to have developed a bizarre electrical fault! Basically, as I'm driving along, all the electrics (windows, instrument cluster, wipers, lights, pretty much everything, EXCEPT the stereo and heater) will cut out completely for a few seconds and then come...

Yesterday I'm sitting quietly at work minding my own business when a lady rings up saying she is from Mercedes Benz UK. Hello she says, I understand you showed an interest recently in an AMG GTs ? Yes I say Before we go any further can I check that you are mr RSK, and we then do the...

Hi A few weeks ago I came home, went indoors for a few minutes and then upon returning to start my car; it would not fire. One turn of the key to glow plug light - all is well. turn to start and she goes into a few seconds of what I can only describe as cranking over the engine repeatedly...

Apologies for raising my head only when I have a problem - but I've never had anything useful to add to any other posts:dk: In every thread I could find even close to this - most refer to replacing the Linguatronic module but since I don't have Linguatronic that's hardly relevant. I'm loathe...

Hey guys... I`ve got this problem on my 2009 C250 CDI. It drives me mad. These are it's symptoms: - idle is kind of rough - shudder at cold when taking off without touching the gas pedal - higher idle than normal when starting the car even if the engine is warm... it first goes to 1000RPM...

Hi, Set off from car park tonight, all was ok, then the car seemed to surge for a split second, did it a couple of times. was like I pressed the throttle, nothing, then it dropped a gear and accelerated hard. I wasnt even pressing the pedal that much. Did it two or three times then went bck to...

I have an annoying problem with my car, when driving during the day and my lights are off my flash doesn't work at all. At night however when I have my lights on it works as normal!? Anyone have an idea as what this could be as it's quite annoying! The car is a 1997 R129 SL320. Thanks...

Hi Guys, I've literally just had a prang in my beloved 08 CLK 220 - this after one of the worst weeks of my life with personal and work stuff all seemingly against me :0( (I won't bore you with the detail on those things. All I will say it seems whatever will go wrong has gone wrong. Anyhow I...

Hi All, Bit of an odd one this. I've recently fitted a brabus D6III to my CLK 320cdi v6 (2006). The unit serial was confirmed by brabus that it is correct for the vehicle and that it has the right programming. After fitting the unit to the car, you can definitely notice the difference...

I'm just looking into renewing the policy on one of the household cars, a small hatch. The missus is listed as the main driver, along with two others. I first got quotes through one of the comparison sites, then realised I'd forgotten to include details of a speeding ticket for her indoors...

Not really an engine only issue but I have a strange intermittent issue with my car, sometimes i go to it, turn on the ignition, the heater coil symbol in the dash does not illuminate, i attempt to start it but nothing happens, everything is dead. I turn off the ignition, go through the process...

I have had an issue with my passenger door handle for a while. The trim on the top kept popping up so thought I would remove the handle and see if I could work out how to fix it. Anyway removed the door handle no problem and sorted the issue (screw had missed the lug) and reinstalled it. As...

w210 E300TD (98)187,000 miles.....just run in. Car starts fine when cold, and runs lovely, all day long unless you stop it. Then needs cranking for 10 or so seconds two or three times... to get it started..when hot. Sometimes I worry if the battery can take it. 10,000 miles ago replaced...

I recently fixed a mate's car's rumbles, bangs and clunks. I used an old LIT table to do this, which he'd not seen before so I thought someone else might find it useful. The LIT (Listen, Inspect, Test) table is a matrix that helps you narrow down what is making the noise in the car. The idea is...

Ok, on my '03 sl350 r230 my ABC visit workshop light keeps coming on in the light blue. I've just had a new pump fitted as the garage thought it was that as it was knocking(I can't take it back just yet as I'm away working), there was no leaks anywhere and the shocks are all good. Since...

As I reversed out of my drive this morning, a message flashed up which I think said something about convenience not available, the Engine Warning Light came on as did the Traction control warning light. Cruise and speed limiter was not available. I stopped and restarted then the Traction light...

I have a 1992 124 300e petrol. It is the best car I have ever had. It is such a quiet car and having had it for four years I feel I "know" my car. Recently a very strange noise has started. From 20mph and above in any gear (autobox), even if I put into neutral, there is what I can best describe...
