It has been suggested that a leaking fuel distributor on my 1990 300CE

how does the cruise control work on my C 250 TDi ( elegance)

This is one for the books. I have a 1989 560 SEL. Last night the right side
headlight bulb went out. Today I purchase a pair (like to replace the two
instead of just one). I bought Sylvania SILVERSTARS to replace old bulb.
Here is the really dumb question, how do you take the old ...

Another quick question;  my wagon (great car, btw) has about 280K
miles on it.  I'm 99.9% sure that it has a double timing chain.  Is it

(www.greasecar.com) I suppose my 85 300 SD would run fine on veg. oil,

This had made my 190 D 2.5 very quiet where it before at aroung 1500 rpm at

How do I adjust the seatbelt height setting?  In my previous E Class, I was
able to depress a button and slide the bracket up and down.  Now, I can't
seem to move the S Class bracket.
Thanks in advance.

The engine of a '83 W126 can be started with transmission lever not only in
P but in any position (e. g. D or R).
May be someone could explain briefly how the ignition safety lock works, and
where or what could be the problem in my case.

I'm in Europe and am about to buy my first ever Mercedes. I had been
thinking about a 380Sec for awhile (mainly cause Andy Garcia drove one
in the movie Jennifer 8 and I fell in love with it) :)
However, I've just discovered that fuel consumption is only 20 MPG or

I have a 1994 MB C220 which is bad for depositing black brake dust on the
alloy  rims particularly the front ones, when cleaned they are covered in
the stuff again within 2 weeks of occaisional use.

My wipers suddenly work only on high speed and stop wherever they happen to
be in the swipe path when I shut them off.Does this sound like a typical
relay problem?
I removed the relay behind the instrument cluster and looked at it but cant

Yesterday I got me a '75 280SLC in very bad state. It is a project shall we
say.
The engine has not been running for 9 years, and all this time it wa
standing outside.

I have the above car with a slight problem: The accelerator keeps sticking
down and reving the engine like mad. It seems to mostly happen when moving
off after idling for a while (or moving off when the engine is hot). It
*always* happens in traffic jams -- the stop-start motion ...
