    So you have to change the complete seat back do you?

    Seat back nets

    Thanks - neither show the nets that fix to the back of the seats unfortunately.

    Seat back nets

    On my 2007 W169 A Class there are nets fixed to the back of the front seats. Just got a 2007 W245 B Class and it doesn't have any. Are they available to retro fit - I think the A Class seats are the same so maybe they're available? Just spoken to a main dealer who said " I wouldn't have a...

    Central locking after key fob battery change

    There's nothing in the handbook about synchronising keys and I called an MB specialist to check. That's an interesting point about the keys being dropped - I did wonder about trying to withdraw the circuit boards but couldn't quite see how to get hold of them. I'll see if I can find some very...

    Central locking after key fob battery change

    W245 B Class 180CDI As above - won't now unlock or lock via the radio control, works fine on the infra red (both keys do). Only just got the car. It was a bit intermittent so I replaced the batteries in both keys. Cleaned them with contact cleaner. Red light on keys comes on as it should but...

    Tow bars

    Are the W169 and W245 tow bars the same? I have one on my A Class and am wondering if I can swap it to a B Class? Thanks

    I'm Baaack!!!

    Not been on the forum for ages since I gave my A Class to my daughter. BUT... I'm just getting a 2007 B class now! I think my A Class was a W169? (Mk2, 2006) and I think the B class is a W245?? It's a Sport and I would welcome thoughts and info about the suspension - is it a lot firmer than...

    Auxillary power socket in boot. W169

    I completely forgot about side lights! LOL! I guess because I won't be using it very often and the tip isn't open at night! What a plonker! I thought the lighter sockets were fused/wired for at least 15 amps or thereabouts? It's just a bit of a pain running a wire all the way to the main...

    Auxillary power socket in boot. W169

    Only for a small trailer Matt - so if the brakes and an indicator were on all at the same time that would be 3 x 21W so around 5 amps. I was going to fuse the supply 15A (maybe only 10A).

    Auxillary power socket in boot. W169

    I see what you mean but I only want to tow a little trailer to fetch stuff for my chickens so would never need to do that.

    Auxillary power socket in boot. W169

    I had a W168 in which I fitted a power socket in the boot. I'm sure I remember there being a pair of wires terminating in a connector behind the left hand stowage compartment in the boot (where the jack etc is stored). I can see what looks like a 'knockout' blank in the plastic liner in the...

    W169 Towbar

    Many thanks Jim. I was thinking that as I'll only occasionally use a small trailer with my bobabout the simple relay system would probably be fine. My car does use filament bulbs as you say - good to know its isolated from the CANBUS though! My 1934 Morris Oxford is soooo much easier to work...

    W169 Towbar

    Further to my last question about fitting a tower to my 2006 A Class, I've established that it is labelled for towing and have found a couple of what look like decent tower kits. The supplier also sells a relay but can you simply tag into the relevant wires at the back of the car or does it...

    W169 Towbar

    Well many thanks for the advice - I've just looked and I do have four weights filled in on the sticker so that's great. I'm having all new suspension next week anyway to increase the ground clearance a little because it scrapes the undertray on the track down to my house so that will be even better.

    W169 Towbar

    Thanks - I'll have a look. I wonder what the difference is between one you can and one you can't? Seems very strange...

    W169 Towbar

    Oooo! I had one of those on my Smart car. Mine's a diesel - what sort of difference does the exhaust make to that then?

    W169 Towbar

    Sorry to be a bit dim - but how do I 'check that it's homologated'? Will that be specific to my vehicle or to the model?

    W169 Towbar

    I'm after any advice about what type of tow bar to fit to my A180 automatic. I'll only want to tow a little trailer with it but wondered what make of tower to consider. Any advice much appreciated!

    Seatbelt sluggish!

    My seatbelt (W169, 2006) is being a pain. Have to feed it back in because it doesn't always retract properly. Can they be cleaned/lubricated or does it need to be replaced? I wonder if a new one would need 'coding' to the car because they're part of the SRS system? I've just had to have a new...
