    M113, V8, oil pump pick up

    Hi, I have read about this O ring failure on the american forums, though from the M113k perspective i always naively thought that the N/A M113 was not effected, and the Kompressor version was only effected by the higher engine temperatures of having the charger. Did you only do the bottom end...

    Alternator connector removal

    Hi I believe the white part is to lock/unlock the connector, and the black tab immediately behind the white part will need to be either pulled forward or pushed back to release the connector. I am not sure what position the white part needs to be in to release the tab but try gently moving the...

    C43 W202 starting issues

    Hi You need to find out exactly what has been done to the engine wiring loom and why. There is/was no need to touch the wiring loom when fitting a 55 engine in a C43. As the engines are effectively exactly the same you fit the 43 loom to the 55 engine.

    2013 C207 roof relay position

    Hi I knew about this control unit as I fitted a Smart module for the roof and the PDF I linked to is the instructions for installing it. There are wiring drawings in WIS, but can be hard to locate and you need to refer to multiple documents to make sense of them, there is also a program called...

    Hi Not sure of the location of the fuse, but roof on a 207 has a control unit (probably no other relay) located behind the driver side boot paneling, if you look at the link below and select the third link from the top it shows you how to fit their SMART Top but part of that it shows the...

    w208 CLK both vanity mirror lights stopped working in unison.

    Hi I retro fitted mirror vanity lights on my 202/C43 as the 202 and the 208 were built on the same chassis the wiring was the same (though there were subtle differences in the later 208s), but one thing I do remember is that I never had to fit an additional fuse. The vanity mirror lights are...

    Ignition/Immobiliser Problem (R129 1997 SL320)

    Hi The red/green lights can flash alternately or the same time one means fob batteries are low the other is the key is out of sync. Which is which I cant remember sorry, but from you're symptoms I would say try a re-sync next. Google or use utube as almost certainly the correct process for...

    r129 sl500 xenon headlight problem

    Hi, When you get the new link rods, if they are adjustable, adjust them to the same length as the broken ones were and all being well the headlights will be at the correct height without any need to re-calibrate the sensors to the headlight leveling motors (control the headlight alignment).

    1997CL420

    Hi Because of the age of this car it almost certainly has the 38 pin diagnostic socket which means you need the old HHT diagnostic software and not the later DAS or Xentry software, hence why the dealer cant do anything to it. I think you might have some luck if you can find someone with a C3...

    Anyone know what colour my wheels are?

    Hi Looks to be a very similar colour to the ones on my 65 Plate E350 CDI Cab. They are described in the EPC as being Himalayan Grey, if you have access to the EPC for your specific chassis it might pay to look to see if they described as mine by colour.
