I have a '83 300D with the electric passenger side-view mirror. The
mirror has stopped working. Though I did a Google Groups search, I

joy stick I can hear the mirror motor moving and there is minute

I just had my first B Service on my CLK W208 (at 20 400 miles and 2 months
short of 4 years).
(Just shows you how little I drive!)
Because of the low mileage the trip computer started counting the days to

Just purchased my first Mercedes, decided to go with the top of my wishlist
and went with the 1990 560 SEL.  A couple of items need repair, so I thought
I would pose questions to the group and see if anyone has experience with
these.  Just for background, this car has 190,000 miles ...

This 300SD gets TOO good a mileage!  So good that I forget to think
about gas stations!
I got more than 470 miles out of a tank and was cruising on "E" when I
noticed it.  Actually the kids noticed it.

Stopped by Heavy Karl's store to look at the new CLS. Big - er - small

I just purchased a '98 230 SLK. After I filled the gas tank for the first

How do I turn off the light?

Is it possible to convert a diesel engine to use LPG.
Thanks in advance.

the set,  and now have broken left  lens thanks to a pickup truck with a
trailer hitch.  Car is 1992  190E  131,000   miles.   Replacement lens
is 107.oo  at Bekkers, but does not specify BOSCH.      ...

Is there any way of patching an oil leak from the rear seal on my 420
sel without having to replace the seal?

It figures that my window would die right after asking questions about it!
Has anyone attempted to replace the brushes in a 300SD power window motor?
I'd hate to pay for a new motor if it's possible to pop a set of brushes
in it.

I just changed a brake caliper on my w123 280e. My manual said to
rotate the piston so the step on the face bearing on the pad should be
at a specific angle. I couldn't move the piston to the required angle
so just stuck it on as it was. What will happen?
