Please Help!!!  I have a 1986 190E 2.3.  It idle "ok" in neutual and park
but in drive it idle rough. I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor cap
and rotor.  Any suggestion??  

I've just been advised that at my first major service that I need the brake
fluid draining and replacing.
I've never known this as a standard service issue before and was wondering
whether or not the dealer is 'trying it on'

Have just bought 1980:  240D.  Transmission does not change out of lst
gear.  Any recommendations prior to removal and rebuilt.

Just had new front rotors and pads installed on my 1987 420SEL with 160K
miles.  All was fine for the first 1-2,000 miles, but now I have bad shimmy
when the brakes get warm, and even a little shimmy when they're cold.
I question the knowledge of the brake shop where I had the ...

Still have a dead car! (see thread somewhere below)
It's not the relay - tried a new replacement.
So - how do I test the fuel pump electrics - is there a voltage/ampage
target I should be hitting, and for how long?

I'm a newbie Mercedes 240D owner.  Can someone tell me the proper way
to set the cruise control.  Up on the lever advances the acellerator
and down does the opposite, but can't get to engage correctly.  Thanks
for the help.

We all know we have to be careful when giving names and, as an example,
Rolls-Royce famously did NOT call one of its models "Silver Mist" (in line

What could be the reason for my fuel gauge needle to "suddenly" start
wandering back and forth, with  readings varying by as much as a quarter
of a tank?    Whether I am driving, or idling,
I watch as it wanders from  1/2 full, to 1/4 full and back again???

The new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: even more versatile, safe and more

Calling all Merc detectives:: Every once in a while my engine won't
shut off with the key, and the doors won't lock, so I know there is a
vacuum leak.  Funny thing is, most of the time everything works quickly
and perfectly.  The problem happens about one time in twenty. Doesn't

Not sure if "slipping" is the right word, but sometimes while driving
(both when the engine and transmission are cold, as well as warmed up
after a few dozen miles), the transmission doesn't engage as soon as I
depress the gas pedal.
