My 300e will not hold idle, when warm, until I have driven the car to
around 20 when it then shifts to third.  This has happened since I got
the car last April.  I have replaced the OVP Relay, and have replaced
the Dist Cap, Rotor, Plugs and Air Filter (due to a recent water

I am think of changing my tires from original 195/65-15 to 225/60-15.   Will
these fit on 1987 300E?   What are the pros and cons of this?  I believe the
con would be a errant speedo reading by about 3% if they fit.  Any other
ideas or suggestions.  I would really appreciate the ...

What can I use to stop all the brake dust from getting on my wheels on
my 2004 500sl.
Please help guys this is driving me nuts.

I just bought a 1985 123 280e and I'm faced with an unexpected problem.
I bought the car intending it to be a cheap (it cost £450) car for my
everyday use (which is not heavy as I work from home). It's got 12
months MOT and is in really good shape. I knew it had service history

1989 300E (gasoline) failed the emissions test:
At idle HC is 243 PPM (limit 220 PPM).
At 2500 RPM the HC is 57 PPM (limit 220 PPM)
Any suggestions?  Cold Start valve???

Hi, I have just purchased a C230 sport Komp (N reg) and it has a
button that I believe is meant to drop the rear headrests. However it
doesn't..... anyone know what it could be? (Is there something silly
like a lock on it that I haven't switched off???!)

This is the last problem I'm fighting with this car. I'm at the point of
fix or sell this thing, and my hand is being forced by the check engine
light being on meaning I can't get a clean smog test meaning I can't

Is it necessary to use only Mercedes transmission oil in a '76 450 SL
automatic or is 'normal' transmission fluid ok?

The mercedes mechanic had a beautiful E320 in one of his bays. Told me the
current owner wants to sell it. It's a 1995. Mint codition and it has 100,00
miles on it. My two questions are: is this a good reliable ($$$) car? Also,
what would be worth?

How long should a well maintained 89 M103 300E last?

I need to replace my stoplight switch and can't find the location on
the car, under the hood nor under the steering wheel.  Anyone know
exactly where it is located?
I took the car to have it analyzed and it came back saying that the

Anybody know a good MB garage in West Yorkshire? I just bought a 1984
280e and want to check out service costs.
Also looking for a body shop to do one or two small repairs.
I live in Bradford.
