These symptoms are often caused by an ABS sensor or by the brake switch. But my searches didn't come up with the cause of my car's random intermittent ABS, BAS and ESP warnings. So here it is for those who have changed the brake switch and are considering hunting down which ABS sensor...

Hi chaps. Has anyone experienced HID bulbs getting dimmer with age? Or could it be some distortion or deterioration inside the bulb? My beams don't illuminate the road past about 12-15 feet, but on a wall the beam height is about correct. They both are similar brightness to each...

Hello again chaps. Can someone tell me where the HID headlamp leveller(s) is/are (is there only 1?) and provide a picture or drawing of them or a link to one please so I know what to look for? My lamps slowly stopped moving so I think it/they have rusted. Or is there another possible...

Hello members. This law will come into force in October: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-31310685 It gets my back up because there is no such being as a "child" who is over 16 years of age, because they are classified as independent adults under UK law, so they are then able to legally...

Hello chaps. I finally replaced my pollen filters. They were in a very bad state and my heater/cabin blower now runs at full speed instead of half-speed like before. So it seems that there is some sensing to prevent the fan from running at full blast when the airflow is low, to prevent...

Hi pals. For about a week my E320 CDi would not started in the morning from totally cold on the 1st try as it usually does, but on the 3rd try. After that first start she is always fine all day through many short journeys, starting on 1st try within 1-2 seconds. Early this week it was...

Hi pals. I hope I'm not upsetting anyone by starting a new topic on this old subject? I have searched but it's because I prefer to get your valued opinions and experiences on relevant choices for my W210 model. The obvious budget-priced choices from ECP are Eicher, Pagid, Textar, ATE...

Hello pals. I'm not sure if this thread is in the right place? I had a big shock yesterday. I drove very slowly over a high kerb on my left to get round a parked truck on my right, something caught underneath (to the left side) and scraped, and then my seatbelt cartridge fired! The...

Again I am sorry for starting another thread if it's not needed, I have searched and read topics without clear answers for over two hours again and I'm tired of fruitless searches, so I have decided to start this thread, but by all means delete it if you think it's unnecessary or in the wrong...

Apologies if this has been answered before. :Oops::Oops: Can anyone please let me know which (if any) reasonably-priced tool available on ebay can read and also reset more than just engine codes? I've got a generic OBD-II scanner (ELM327 with ProScan 5.9) but not tried it on my Merc yet...

I know there are many threads about replacing the ribbon cables or adding pressure pads to them to fix the missing pixels on the left and right side (temperature and gear/clock) LCD displays. But the problem is that they are all over the place and take hours to find and read and sift the...

I thought it might be useful to have a thread for service operations we can do in the car from buttons. I have found a few tips here and there, but they take time to find, so here are a couple, please add your own tips for the W210. Read Automatic Climate Control Sensors 1. From Ignition...
