hi i have a 98 c180 esprit and my service re-set won't re-set.
ok . went to merc they said my dash lights dont stay on long enough to use the re-set, by this they meen..... when you turn on ign they stay on 4 about 2 secs then go out (without starting the engine) WHY?
can ya help? cheers :devil:
 
I have a '98 C180 Esprit too! :D You can turn off the reset, but surely the engineer should have done that when you took it in for your last service?
Well, anyway, I don't know exactly how to do it because it's in the interior handbook and it's cold and dark right now so I'm not going outside. :P But check in your interior handbook, there are intructions on how to reset it. Something about turning to ignition position 2 then holding down 0 for 2 secs, then turning the ignition to position 0 then back to position 2...? Something like that, I dunno. I'll post tomorrow when I find it.
 
Here's what I do and will be doing tomorrow after a service at my local non MB garage.

To reset service indicator:

Turn the electronic key to position 2 in the ignition lock and immediately press button 0 twice within one second.

Turn the electronic key back to position 0 in the ignition lock.

Press and hold button 0.

Turn the electronic key to position 2 in the ignition lock.

Keep button 0 pressed.

Service display with current remaining distance or remaining time appears.

After about 10 seconds, an acoustic signal will sound and the service display with the new starting distance or starting time appears for about 10 seconds.

Release button 0.

Good luck, and let us know how you get on.

I um... don't think that'd make any difference. But it looks really nice. How much did you pay for it?

On the related subject, it looks like you'll have to get it properly seen to by the specialists. Timers not working n stuff... Nothing I know can help you out with that.
 
HOLY COW! That's the same as my interior. :( I don't feel special anymore... :( :( :(

Well, no the grill is the same, looks factory. And thanks to Spinal (I didn't know this), Esprit models ARE actually lower than Classics and Elegances. How wonderful!! That means you don't gotta spend £300 on new springs, unless you want to have better suspension, but then that's just silly. :)

The only things that look modded are the windows. Pimpin'.
