Just bought my first one, and it wont be my last. But for now i need a few jobs doing on it. Its a 94 C200 Elegance auto, and here's its problems.

1. The main one is the rear nearside eleccy window doesn't work. I knew this when i bought it, part of the bargaining tool. If i press the button either on the door or the front console i can hear a relay, in the boot i think, clicking away when i press. But no movement or sound from window. Is it the motor? Or have i missed something in the door, like a relay, before i strip it?

1a: (i forgot this one). Wiper. It works perfectly in all modes, but it doesn't sit all the way down when off. If i turn it on it goes all the way down then back up on it's cycle, but switch it off and it returns to its position, about 4 inches above where it should be. So im thinking relay??? Or can it's seating position be reset???

2.Some scratches around the rear bumper. The black isn't a problem, but the sort of inlaid silver strip might be. How do i find the colour match for that strip, or just spray it all similar silver, which will be a pain. But i want it looking right.

3. Dashboard bulbs. I reckon 2 have gone, which annoys me. So how easy to change dash bulbs, and is it possible to have them blue tint or similar cuz i do think the standard colours let it down.

erm, thats about it.
Thanks people.

You probably want to get the door panel off to see what is going. I think your car will have a lever sort of thing but you'll need to see if the motor is getting power. Check the fuses first though.

Rear bumpers are easy fixed. What till you get some tailgater and watch his eyes, when he checks his mirror, try your brakes.

Dashboard bulbs come up on this forum all the time. There is a tool to pull out the instrument pod, after that it is simple.

I went to buy the tool and the dealer just pulled out the pod for me.
