I think my light switch is bad as the lights do not all work when the headlamps are switched on. With park, the tail lights and orange parking lamps are on but...
Bob, Sounds like a bad ground somewhere. Check as many of the places where the wires ground first before you replace the switch. From what I've read on other ...

MessageCarol My best advice to you is to find someone who is in their 50s and have worked on these cars before. There are many young pretenders who claim that...
Thanks, Al. I'll go to the website and see what they have here. And yes...there is gas in the oil...so, what do you mean drain the oil and should run a lot...
I'll definitely ask him to check that out. I vaguely remember reading about it somewhere and that it could create a whole lot of problems. Thanks, Eric. Carol...

Bob, I am absolutely the worst possible person to ask about electrical questions. I do know that often whatever is interfering with a good, clean ground my ...
Dear Carol, My first impression is that you could sure use a different mechanic. Just because he's had two Mercedes doesn't any more mean he's a skilled and...
That's the guy's name. He's one hell of a neat guy, and knows Mercedes Benz cars very well. He is now in a wheel chair, due to a motorcycle crash some years...

Hey, Bob! How 'bout that? Glad you found the problem. I had just recently been reading a thread on the mercedeslist about a similar problem, and really...
Aloha Cliff, You must be psychic. I shipped the bow off to Heritage this morning. Thought long and hard about doing it myself but the bottom line was, what...
Hello Race, Most likely problem is the velocity joint on the drive shaft. I have an identical symptom on my 300SD, and that's what is gonna be changed. I went...
Look under the car just behind the transmission and you will see a heavy rubber connector with 6 or so bolts in it, it is probably hopelessly dry and hard...I...
Thanks for the tip. I'm taking it in this morning for a persistent vacuum leak that doesn't allow the car to run well, and I'll have him check the velocity...
