- C200 Estate Esprit 2.0 1998
Hi Alll
Firstly hello I've recently bought a 1998 C200 Auto Esprit Estate and am generally really pleased - it's immaculate for age, no rust everything working. First car I've felt proud to own!
I'm determined to do more DIY on this car but am pretty much a novice but given the age/price I paid I want to do as much as I can myself for a change!
I have two small (hopefully!) problems. Other than these the car drives lovely.
1: The shift stick sometimes won't stay in D and you have to nudge it slightly and make sure its light comes on. Generally once it's there it's fine, but on setting off you have to make sure. Is this a bush problem on the bottom of the stick or some other adjustment? Any links/guides appreciated.
2: Their is an intermittent chirping from the belt I think. It doesn't seem to be related to the A/C which i read about. Doesn't happen when driving, tends to be when idling or very briefly when first touch accelerator. Is this relateed to the tension on the belt? Any advice/guides much appreciated!
Realised this maybe better posted in the DIY section but was introducing myself as well. Cant work out how to move it to another thread but admin feel free to do so or I can repost
Thanks
Luke
