Hi folks, My wife's W203 Coupe has had a bouncing door lock for a little while and although I have sprayed lubricant down the button thread it is still playing up. We were living with this but now my W203 Estate o/s front door lock won't lock or unlock on the remote, the internal light stays on...

My 2001/W203 C Coupe 220CDi has developed a fault where part way through a journey it loses power. Happens after 30mins/30 miles, car will accelerate up to 70mph on flat - on hills it slows to 55mph. Only first 30% of accelerator travel has any effect, the next 30-100% makes no difference...

Hello everyone.. My MY2002 C220 CDi is exhibiting a strange problem - the engine cuts out when the tank gets to about a quarter full. I know that there is diesel in the tank because when I last filled up, I filled it right to the top. I now carry a gallon of diesel with me in case it...

Hope one of you technical bods out there can help me. I have a C180 Avantgarde estate with the Audio 20 stereo with the glovebox mounted CD autochanger. Unfortunately, the magazine has stuck in the machine and I have been told the autochanger will need to be removed to have it repaired...

I bought some new wiper blades from the MB dealer (£30!!) They are curved unlike the earlier ones which were straight and don't have a spoiler. My car takes the older style blades with a frame unlike the later slim version. Which way should the curve be? Should the driver's side blade curve...

Just bought a c class estate on a 51 plate for my missus. Got it for a song because it was rather grubby inside. Just had interior valet from professional but still a bit grubby. Thinking of changing the seats. Anybody got some or know from where I may get some? Help would be appreciated.

This morning i did not take my canoe to work but it became clear after a small clunk and the complete failure of my window wipers that perhaps i should have. It doesn t seem to be anything mechanical as the wipers returned to the home position after a small shove. Further investigation has...

Since I acquired my first MB - a C270 - in early October last year and joined this forum, I've seen quite a few threads asking about removing / upgrading the Audio 10. Admittedly on another forum, but someone has taken the trouble to fully document, with photos, how to do this. The link is ...
