Hello All,
I just bought a used Mercedes with 64,000 miles...it runs beautifully, but a few annoying problems.
1. Outside temp reads 140 sometimes, -140 sometimes and no display sometimes. Is it the sensor? Can I change it myself?
2. Trunk lid requires quite a bit of pressure to close. When close, the hydraulic closes it shut, but there is a hydraulic sound for about 20 seconds before the handle goes back in.
3. The middle rear headrest is down, but the other two rear headrests are up and won't go down with the pushing of the button on the dashboard. I hear a sound, but nothing happens.
4. The parking brake handle is unattached from the brake cable. For my car inspection, the station was able to see that the parking brake worked by just pressing enough on the foot pedal, but not up the first click.

Can I repair any of the above items myself? I am not very mechanical.
