woes

Not sure if this has already been posted, but recall a member on here asking after opinions of a chrome wrap on his E Class. This Mini Buyer is perhaps wishing he hadn't. Is this MINI the world's most expensive mirror? - Yahoo! Cars

I already knew my alloys were corroding and beginning to look shabby, but now it's worse. Two of them have intermittent slow punctures which I think are due to air leaking around the rim. Weeks can go by with no loss of pressure, then suddenly they will lose 10 or 15 pounds in a day or...

My central locking has begun playing up, it may just be another electrical gremlin to contend with or they may be an easy solution someone has encountered before ... so here goes. The keyfob operates the alarm as normal so it's transmitting ok, but it won't open the doors. I can set the alarm...

Just a quick question.. I have recently been loosing drive once in a while whilst on slow sharp corners. Any ideas??? Im booked in for a fluid ,gasket and filler change later this month. Any help appreciated :)

Righto, those who chimed in on the previous thread may be pleased to know that the car now starts. A couple of fuses were blown (:o not sure if I missed them before, one was for the ACC :confused: and the other for central locking). Right so now the PSE works a treat (apart from lumbar but it...

Hi Yesterday I went out in the car, no problems, parked up went to shop came back and drove home. Went back to the car 10 min later and car does not turn over on the key. Doors are locking and unlocking on the key fob as usual. Black electronic key, replaced the batteries as a precaution, I...

I'd only had the car (C32)for 36hrs before the issues started rolling in :mad: 1st Issue: Went to use the car yesterday after driving 300 faultless miles on Saturday to find it wouldn't unlock via the fob or start up. Battery read 7.5amps across the terminals. 2nd Issue: After recharging...

Hi all Have a 5 month old e350cdi coupe. just over 4k miles. Noted yesterday lots of small superficial stone chips in windscreen(chips is probably too strong - more like small nicks from stone impacts) - no cracks in windscreen. Now i have owned many cars in the past and i dont recall...

Hi guys I'm the new bloke here (I will introduce myself properly when I find the new members section) I've been reading with interest the info on C32's and apologies if this has already been covered in depth but I'd appreciate advice on a recently purchased C32:- I bought the car a...

Just thought I'd share my misery so you can all laugh about 'reliable' Renaults. After spending £600 a few weeks ago on the Wife's Megane, the window wipers have now stopped working. The motor is fried and needs replacing at a cost of £190 + vat + fitting!!!!!!:wallbash::wallbash: Don't you...

Hi all, I have encountered a problem with my 2 month old Viseeo MB2 which resides in my W211 its a 54 spec and when I first used the unit it was fine but for a few weeks now all incoming and outgoing calls are muted, whoever I,m connected to can hear me fine but I can just about hear them. I...

Have had problems with front and rear screen washers not working in the last couple of days which I thought must be due to freezing, but I wasn't sure because I had recently added screen wash additive. Had a closer look tonight and first of all discovered the bottle was empty:eek:, then found...

Greetings, We have at work an 05 plate A170 auto with issues, when engaging gears, the box will sit for a second or 2, then engage a gear, only to drop out again within a second, does this with D and R, sometimes if you try and pick the revs up while it's in a false neutral then the revs will...

Following on from my other thread, my central locking won't work from the key fob on the S class. It was working until yesterday. Now even if I hold the key right to the sensor (any of them) it does nothing. The lock/unlock button on the dashboard still works fine which tells me it's a fault...

Hello Following on from my adventures putting right the results of neglect and bodgery my 230ce was subject to by previous keepers or their trusted repaires, I though I might share in case someone else facing similar head scratching may find a solution: 1) Erratic idle and stalling: My car...

Hello everyone. I posted last year when I had fuel problems which largely due to the advice given on here were solved. I am in France at the moment and due to come back on Tuesday when disaster has struck. Last Sunday there started a squeak from the front pulleys area of the engine.This got...

Will a W124 gearbox fit a W202 or does it have to be specific to my car?

Hi, I'm having trouble with starting a W124 300TE. Sometimes it will not cold start or run without throttle. When it starts it is rich. After a few minutes it suddenly clears up and is fine. On some days it is fine and starts as it should. Does anyone have any good ideas or similar...

Hi folks. My 1984 SEC is up for it's test on May 14 but I have hit on a snag (or two). I may have mentioned on a previous post that there is a tremendous fuel leak from the area of the fuel pump that has rendered the car immobile. Anyhow its been recovered to the workshop. Problem 1. Fuel...
