The blower motor stopped running on my '89 260 E. I wanted to check the fuse, but the pre-printed
card in the fuse box states that the blower motor fuse is located outside of the fuse box. The
owner's manual says nothing about this fuse, and I don't have a shop manual for the car. ...

I am considering picking up a 2004 E320 4matic with low mileage but am a bit
uncertain because I've heard that Mercedes is having reliability issues with
their cars.  I've done some random "polling" i.e. talk to people at gas
stations, at the mall and I'm getting mixed signals ...

I have a '97 E300. The instrument lights all went out. How does one remove
the instrument panel to replace them?

Just a quick question; does anyone know if a 1969 W115 220 will run on
unleaded petrol without problems? I know that many UK cars from the
late '60s need converting as the valve seats are too soft. Does this
also hold true for barvarian beasties?

The ABS warning light comes on when I make a left turn and the car is cold.
After being driven for some time and the car is warmer, on restarting, the
light goes out and remains out.  The problem seems to be a bad connection.
Any ideas?

I'm in the UK and looking at either C180K (petrol) or C220D (diesel)
estates.  Probably automatic.
The performance of both is very similar, and although the diesel is more
economical it costs almost £3000 more, so may not end up cheaper overall.

I put together this is myt spare time...  Its a
forsale and wanted benz site...  Enjoy!

After startup and a little warm up time elapse, I put shifter in to "R"
position, Nothing happen! No sign of gear engaging and will not creep
backwards. Until I step on the gas pedal a little, suddenly the gear
engaged "reluctantly" and the car started to backup! All forward ...

A relative passed away and I'm considering buying his car, a 1985 190E
with 2.3 engine and 82000 miles on it.  It runs very well but needs a
quart of oil about every 1000 miles (using 10W-40). The oil doesn't seem
to be dripping on the floor and I've driven it quite a bit and ...

Howdy!
Is there a way, that anyone has found to directly connect an iPod to
the stock radio?
Cassette adapters will not work since there is a flip down door for

I have just brought a 1969 220 W115 in white with a black interior. So
now i have two Mercs and one cross wife :) Sorry... just had to tell
someone who would understand why I would want to "buy an old piece of
junk like that"

I am interested in an SL between '83 and '93. Are there any particular years
or models that are generally considered better or worse than others?

My old 240D has never had electrical problems until now, when it may have
been caused
by a lot of rain we had recently. I need to use it or I'd leave it a few
days until things dry out a bit.
