clk240 - navi says "off road" and pertol cap door does not lock?

[MBlove]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone can help please.

Just bought a Merc clk240 02plate privately, i tested it and everything was ok. Driving it home from where i bought it and the navigation decides to stop working. It now says "off road- location not found". It has a DX 2005 CD and i live in the city so area must be on the map. Anyone know how i can go about investigating what the problems is without spending 100's of £?

Also the petrol cap door does not lock any idea how i can fix this?

Kinds regards

clk new unlucky owner!!

When I get "off road" message, it normally means it is a new road and not on the map. An up to date nav disc may solve the problem.

I dont think thats the problem as driving on major moterways like the M4, M5, M25 i get the same problem. At least i hope Tele Atlas managed to get those roads on the map!!

dont know about navi,
but the petrol cap locks by a pin sliding through a catch on the cap door.
When you open the filler door, you should find a metal catch with a hole in it sticking out at 90 degrees to the edge of the filler cap door. I suspect yours is flat against the inside edge of door.
It's quite common for a dimwit to lock the car when filling up and then force it shut, forcing the catch to bend out of the way.
Just bend it back to 90 degrees.

In that case perhaps Alfie on these forums can help: www.comand.co.uk
