Hello there, my first post and hoping someone can help. I'm now on my fourth E-Class estate (W210) and third E320CDi. Very fond of these cars but they can and do try my patience with quirks and system failures. I've got an issue right now that I need advice on. My local independent claims to...

Hi all. This is my first post since buying my 1989 300ce late last year. I have read a few threads on this topic but still unable to narrow down my problem. The car starts first time everytime, but when it reaches its normal operating temp it develops this rough uneven idle that fluctuates...

Hi all, The power soft-top on my SL ('93 500SL) is not powering :mad: The hard top is currently off of the car and the roof is open. I wish to close it and it won't! There are motors running if I push the button forward but nothing if I pull it backward. The red light within the button...

Hi guys, The sliding door on my van is completely out of line. The rear of the door when closed doesn't pull in and there is a large spacing from the body of the van and rear of door, as shown below. The closest edge of the sliding door ( the side that meets with the passenger...

hello again guys. After 3 months I thought I ought to sort out the one sided handbrake today. I adjusted the hubs and found the passenger side was not releasing with the cab leaver. So up on the ramps and under I went and found that the inner cable on the passenger side is about 4 inches longer...

Didn't know which forum to put this question in, so sorry if Iv'e got it wrong. Anyway, the drivers side window on my '98 R129 SL500 refuses to drop that little bit when you open the door, and when you lower the window for any reason, it won't go all the way up.
