conditioner to work, you had to wiggle the key. Ok, no problem, replace the
ignition switch...
After hours of messing with it, I finally got it replaced and everything

Hi Folks -
AM radio reception is terrible in my 1998 E320.  It is an aftermarket
radio.  I understand this is a common complaint with Mercedes.  Is
there anything that can be done?

I have an 89 300E that blows nice, cold air through the air conditioning for
about 20 minutes then it turns warm.  If I let the car sit for about 30
minutes, I'll get cold air again.  My mechanic seems to think it may be
something shutting off the compressor (short, relay, etc.).  ...

There is an advertisement for a five speed from a 1986 190D. It states that
it SHOULD fit a 190E. Is this right? Is the 2.3 transmission the same as the
2.6 transmission? If so, besides linkage, will this be a bolt up
installation?

Quit like you turned off the key. Had to be towed to a shop. After sitting
over night, it sterted and ran OK. I suspect the ignition module, since I
had  similar experiences over the years with a Ford and a Volvo. The module
lists for about $1800, but I can buy a used one for ...

Seldom in this age of reliable cars do I see a stalled car blocking
traffic.
I was reminded last evening it stall can happen, particularly if the car
is a Mercedes. A recent model Mercedes sedan had stalled, holding up

supply line from the vacuum source. Follow the vac lines ...

Does anyone know if there is some trick to erase transmission computer

I finally decided to renew the glow plugs on my '84 300SD and things
went smoothly until I came to the #1 plug.  It wouldn't budge and I
wound up rounding off the darn thing. My glow plug light was working
intermittently, but hasn't lit up in some time.

Hi Folks -
The outside temperature display that appears on the dash with the
