Owned the C140 for about 6 years now, this issue still plagues me, and I still have not figured out what the cause is. Context: When starting the car at random, whether it is hot or cold, the engine will crank for about 5-7 seconds, but sometimes will not turn over-- sometimes it even does...

So when it comes to my driver said window, it never completely rolls down when pushing the down button. It rolls down maybe 70%. I have to have the driver door open for it to completely roll down. It was no problem for me, been doing so for about a year now. Did it a couple hours ago, and when...

So, in removing the instrument cluster a while back, I broke a piece off the cover (as shown). I found a replacent platic cover, but here's the rub; I can't figure out how to remove the broken cover off my existing instrument panel housing in order to replace it! Is it glued? I don't see sign...

Huge nightmare! My independent shop replaced my old ignition tumbler on my W140, 1998 S320, with a different key than the original. No biggie. Except, for some reason, they cut the key (or broke it off) from the only key fob I had. Again, not a huge issue. I still had the original key, as they...
