weird

I am having a problem with brakes on my W168 A160, following refit of refurbished alloys. When I went to collect the car, released the handbrake, put it in reverse, the car wouldn't move ... okay, put back in parked, tried to pull the handbrake up - it won't go up. As I was still at the...

Hi Everyone, Just bought a 2002 C180 and had a few potential probs with it. First off the auto transmission occasionally seems to stick in second then yesterday the EML came on. Found out the EML light was due to an engine overspeed so read that with the OBD and reset with no reoccurrance...

Hi, was just wondering what could cause the following problem; On a W202 C200 all of a sudden the Speedo, Temp & Fuel guages seem to stick at zero for quite a while from cold. Then after about 5 minutes they all pop up to where they should be. The Temp & Fuel seem to work OK after that but...

I have a slight problem on my C55, I'm not sure how to explain it. Sometimes the car does not start properly, I turn the key to start the car and the rev goes to 3-4k and it just clicks, nothing happens, turn the key back to position 1 and then try again and it seems to start fine.. When I...

Hi can anyone throw any light on this fault? The car is a 2000my SLK 320 manual, if you start the car normally at any time the throttle doesnt function, full throttle just manages to lift the revs up to about 1800RPM, I have read the fault codes and get a code for faulty throttle actuator or...

Hi, I have a really weird problem with my 1997 C250 TD. Basically some journeys I take it goes fine, as you would expect. Then totally randomly other journeys it will feel down on power (especially up-hills). I had no idea what was going on. It seems totally random but seems quite...

Hi there - wonder if anyone can help me - I don't know if I have an 'issue' i should be worried about or not. with this recent cold snap, my 2008 W204 C220CDi has taken to revving quite high on startup. On these cold freezing mornings it starts instantly and straight away goes to 1300-1400 rpm...

Told you it was a weird one ! A mate at work was asked by a colleague if there was something they would like for their upcoming birthday (biggie ending in a zero) and he said 'an iPad'. Aye right, £600 :doh: I got thinking with my :devil: head on and looked out an 'eye pad' from the First Aid...

For the 4th time today my nav took me to the wrong place. I have a 59 plate ml350 and enter full postcode but takes me to wrong place. I even got the correct postcode of where it sent me and entered that and it still took me to the same place. So it is allowing 2 postcodes to the same address...

Very off topic - but I wondered if anyone might know the answer!! I was passed by a dark blue Ford F150 truck in Highgate, which was being escorted by a marked BMW. The truck appeared armoured (or at least 'tough') and was marked with something like 'Police AMR' - along with the full set...
