The drivers seat forward and back sliding was not working. I could hear the
motor turning but no seat movement. I just assumed it was a broken cable. I
completely took the drive mechanism apart and cleaned out desiccated glue
like grease and relubricated all the drives and cables ...

Does anyone want to touch these stupid diesel questions:
Does 190D have any power? I mean as compared with 300D? The 300D turbos take
off pretty fast, almost like gas cars. Did they make 190D in turbo? I've never
heard of a 240D turbo either. Also, did they ever make powerful ...

  Can some one please tell me what is involved in replacing this joint
and what special tools etc may be needed.Is it a difficult job to do.

I'm interested in buying a used MB.  I've driven a few models, I'd be
interested in your thoughts on what would be the best choice.  Here

The prennial subject.
About a couple of weeks ago I posted a report of decent service at Mercedes
Benz London (Park Royal).  Today I went back as something small
discovered/damaged last time had to be fixed.  The work was to be done while

I've been gone from this list for a long time. Here I am back after 3
years and I see a couple names I recognize. T. G. Lambach and mcbrue -
diehard MB fans!
Anyways, I'm moving back to Austin from Chicago; with my car still in

My oil light has been coming on intermittently. Comes out for about a minute
and then goes off again.
Checked the oil level and its half way between Min and Max so it aint that
bad. Shoudl the oil be coming on like this ?

I want to change the primary fuel filter on this car and noticed the
flexible fuel line is just weeping diesel fuel. Looks like a good time to
change that too. The OD of the fuel line is approximately 12mm but all the
line sold is by ID. Do any of you know what size hose to buy for ...

Can anyone please offer insight as to what may have happened:
97 E320 - Check engine light went on- also, check engine electronics on the
read out.  Car drives but will not go beyond first gear.
This doesn't sound good.. and I was about to put money into replacing the

I have a W220 S230 which seems to be losing oil after long journeys. I check
the oil level with the car after after such journeys and it states to add

I have an ML320 1999 and the driver side window switch is bad.  The window
switch controls the downward motion but when I lift up on the switch nothing
happens (not even any light dimming).  If I depress the switch again (with
the window in the open position) there is a dimming of ...

Can anyone inform me where the connection to the rear window radio antenna is located in a C200 (1999 model). My problem is recent poor reception and suspect a poor signal.

I am eating glow plugs almost as fast as I can change them...figured it was the controler and changed that .It still eats them.

My '95 E320 wagon has an annoying problem - the doors all seem to squeak.
When opening or closing they emit a low pitched squeak that I can't get rid
of.  I've tried WD-40, but that almost seems to make the noise worse.  Is
there a suggested penetrating oil?  Or something that I can ...

Today, while trying to hook up one of those cassete-cd adapter kits, i
discovered that the lighter doesn't seem to be working.  The kit itself
is functional, but there doesn't appear to be any power running to the
lighter.  In fact, it seems as if the entire lighter and ashtray
