Hi Guys. I have an s55 with 60k miles here in blights. Problem is after changing all mounts over years I still have a harshness on the right front passenger side together with a vibration from the engine out of gear and when pulling away gently. There is also another harshness/vibration/noise when accelerating over an uneven road, like the exhaust/box just leaning on tunnel. Any ideas ?

Default C55 will not start

I have a 2006 MB C55 with no mods. Car would not start this morning. Turn key and tried to turn over then nothing. Dash has power. Checked batter and it read 12.6. Appears to be original MB battery.

Removed batter and took to Advanced Auto. They tested battery and it tested ok. Brought battery home, cleaned all terminals and posts, reinstalled battery. Car did not crank.

Got second set of keys - car will not crank.

Any advice on what to try next?

Default Problem starting my 1974 450 se

Hello, I just recently became the owner of a 1975 (it is a 75 not a 74) Merc 450 se. The car only has 116K miles on it, it was owned by an older gentleman who passed away and the car has set for the last 5 years. The fuel lines were rotted so they were replaced. The car stared and ran fine for about 40 miles or so, and then I ran into problems. I started the car and it started but was idling very ruff then it died. I turned it over again but it would not start, I waited 15 min or so and managed to get the car to start but it quickly died again and that were I’m at. The car has sat for 5 years and has not had a full tank of gas ran through it since, I’m not an auto mechanic but am fairly handy and can turn a wrench so I would like to fix myself if possible. I’m thinking the problem may have to do with not getting fuel, maybe the fuel injection; I purchased some gum out, but have not had a chance to try it yet. I did not spend a lot on the car but would like to be able to drive it any help would be greatly appreciated.

Default DVD video in comand systems... how to activate picture?

My 2005 SL500 plays DVD video discs, but only allows the soundtrack to play. Makes sense when the car is in gear, but sitting still with accessory on, why not show a movie on the screen with the sophisticated surround sound? What's the sense of the multi page section on playing DVD's in the manual if you can't watch a movie?

I don't understand all the pointless comments about safety, etc. so many posters seem to get lost in. It's obvious folks, but not the issue at all. The point is all the hardware is there, and it would be useful to use it to watch a movie when in park and/or when the engine is off. Is there a way to reprogram the comand unit to work as it does in other more intelligent countries? This car does everything else under the sun, why would this feature be deleted when it's so useful and simple to include it safely?

The comand unit in general is quite frustrating, the only thing on this vehicle that is badly engineered and executed. This lack of functionality makes it seem altogether stupid.

Default C280 TCM location

Trying to find location of transmission control unit on 1997 C280. Transmission is in limp home mode. Replaced K40 relay. Drove fine for 200 miles now it's back in limp home mode. Heard it might be located under glove box. Took cover off cabin blower under glove box and found it full of water.
