I booked my ML 4200 in for a gearbox oil & filter change at my nearest MB dealership last Friday. I agreed a special deal price of £250 for the work to be carried out. Pretty good I thought. Given the cost of the oil and the need for star trickery, it was completed and paid for. I drove...

Hi I am a new member and I very much hope that you might be able to give me some advice. I apolgise in advance for the long story… I bought my 2001 C180 Sport Coupe (automatic) in Sept 2009 from a local independent dealer. It only had 46k miles with full MB service history and 1 previous...

For those of you that see my original thread entitled “Tales of Woe” and would like an update, well here it is. The main problem you may recall is with the 7G gearbox and problems with the shifting. The car went back to the supplying dealer on Saturday 21st for further investigations and was...

Oh my God, what have I done! Not the first words that I thought I would ever be typing so soon after purchasing my dream car, but this is what I’m feeling after only seven weeks of ownership! I purchased my very first Mercedes (2007 SL350) towards the end of March, and from an official MB...

I was on the Mechanical side of this site, I got some vital assistance...thankyou Jay. .....it appears that during my 100kkm/60kmiles service from hell, the Mercedes dealer didn't check the AT fluid level of a car which has a "AT transfer box leak". My car "broke down" 3 weeks after the...

:doh:i was in Norfolk over the weekend, & came across a guy with a 55 plate C180 who'd locked his key in the boot, Mobilo's answer was, either phone home & get your wife to bring the spare key (from Northampton !) or break in. Then he fetched the AA out, & after many attempts, & much alarm...

Hi everyone, I have been told I need a new Evaporator for the air-con on my W210. I have had the system re-gassed and there is a leak from behind the dash. I have had a quote of around £1000.00 for the part and repair - dashboard out. :eek: Has anyone had any experience of this problem...

I have a 1996 (P) E300D which has developed a gearbox problem. It's the auto 4 speed box and when in drive (D) it changes up 1-2 OK, 2-3 OK but then seems to fail to find 4th and loses drive and the engine races to high revs. Any advice as to problem? I'm in Peterborough so advice as to local...

Ok Im a cheapskate and when I noticed a set of monoblock copies from a SL320 on ebay with tyres I thought why not use them and get a new set of proper ones in the summer and use these for winter. As they came off a SL320 I thought no brainer BUT the bolts are the head - shaft - coller -...

I have been using the SL for a few weeks now and not being particulary gentle with it (as advised I have been opening up the throttle) and I am loving it (yes I should have got the 500 :rolleyes: ) I have it booked in on tuesday for the diagnostic hook up as the gearchange under duress is...

In August last year I had a new windscreen washer pump fitted. Now it's not working again and has been replaced by the same garage as it's faulty. It's not an OEM pump and the parts supplier is saying they will not replace it under warranty! What do you good people think? Should I have to...

The passenger side wiper isn't working but the drivers side is on my W211. Any suggestions what to check. Thanks for your help

Yesterday my 100Ah varta battery gave up living after 8y3m (it was the original battery supplied with the car). I had noticed that starting was becoming more of an effort over the summer and I guess that the increased demands of batteries during the winter and the colder days have put the last...

Hi all, I know there are all manner of threads relating to COMAND and related issues and I have searched many, but cannot seem to find an authoritive answer. I bought a 55 plate CLK 320CDI in September 05, fitted with DVD COMAND. The system shipped with a dvd, version 4.0. I have had...

This week the car has started playing up a bit. Initially it was slow to engage drive (Put in D revs rise car rolls backwards. Foot on brake, wait, clonk, all ok) When I got out on the road, it didn't want to change up, but did eventually. After that was OK. Then this weekend, it has started...
