@@caledoniancol3803 ahoy Col! Thanks for that info. A wealth of knowledge. I removed the solenoid after it played up again and there has been no down side since. Be well sir. I have all the stuff for a V belt replacement so if it can be dry and not too cold this weekend I’ll get that done.

@@alessandrosala4233 hi. The official link was closed down a few months ago.

@@Ripper0Youh then it’s been lost. That could mean that when you have an mot the lamp doesn’t sit square and not aligned (if you are in the uk that’s a mandatory annual govt check)

@smarte.r.1450 thing is, it's been fine but I want to change the bulb for more brightness. When I'm trying to change it it's really hard to pull the bulb out.

@ I would suggest pull the block connected VERY carefully out and take the lamp assembly out. There’s a video somewhere in the channel showing you. The clip sounds like it’s snapped the cantilever part off. So it’s locked in. Thanks for the question. Please consider subscribing if not done so. I am aiming for 10k subscribers era by end of next year. Thank you o

@@smarte.r.1450 right funny story, I have been messing around with the high beam. I can confirm that the low beam definitely has a retainer.

@ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 happy it’s ok for you bud

@@Sunny_a88 ok. I had the same issue when I made this exact video … I went around all the tyres and slightly over inflated… drove for a mile or so. Then reset and it was fixed. It could be that one of the tyre pressure sensors have failed and needs replacing. About £50 is from memory. Before you spend any money you could disconnect the battery for 5 mins. Then reconnect and reset again if still showing. Hope this helps. Thanks for the comment and interaction, if not done so. Plz consider subscribing as I am aiming for 10k subscribers by the end of next year… I have more co tent planned when the weather breaks. Changing rear brake shoes, replacing the brake fluid, lamp replacements. Thanks. Gareth

@@R-.-y thanks for taking the time to reply. This is a lifesaver. And a money saver… you can fully remove the solenoid. Mine ended up sticking again so just took it off and it’s been fine since this vid was made not being there but sitting happily on the bench in my garage 🤣

@@Librarycardscollect awesome!! Well done for your ingenuity 💪

@@laurentmarandet4850 share it then…. Here with the wheel on the right this is how to do it. Happy to be shown another way. As for the lighting. I try my best to and you are the only person to have said this. But I accept I’m not a professional

So, after taking your criticism on board I watch the video … I believe with the settings on my device it IS GOOD picture, it IS well lit, and I do describe VERY clearly what you are removing and how. Sorry you didn’t think so but on this occasion I strongly disagree. Glad you managed to get yours sorted.

@@smarte.r.1450 i have been video cameraman for twenty years when cameras were bulky and not HD. Now even a 800 £ camcorder give excellent pictures unless you have not enough light in dark areas like under the steering wheel. Light has to be soft, without shadows.

@@laurentmarandet4850 this is a RUclips video made with a camera phone. I am not making a documentary This channel exists to support people to do basic things and not get ripped off Nearly 2m views and only a Handful of negative feedback I’d say my idea has worked. It’s easy to knock someone. However, it’s a lot harder to get on and do something

@@smarte.r.1450 haha I got a lot longer 😅

@@Natezx1ne I fought the law and the law won!! lol

Any idea why this is happening?

@@jennybrandon7321 thanks for reaching out. 1) soft tops in warmer climates SHRINK if not cared for regularly. By cleaning and putting treatment on it. I’ve seen a few now. Usually the leaks in this situation it’s at the front. If it’s anywhere else then open the roof and look for any blockages in drain holes. 2) the ABS light could be a number of things. Check the simple basic things first tyres,brakes Another common issue for ABS light coking on is the “relucter rings” which sits on the axles of the car where it meets the hubs that a wheel sits on. These aren’t that expensive to get fixed allow a couple of hours labour for a half decent mechanic. Do not go to a Mercedes dealer. Look for an independent Mercedes specialist Hope that helps.

@@smarte.r.1450 it passed its MOT the garage cleared it via the diagnostic. It stayed off until I got home 🤣. The same garage fitted new tyres and never mentioned those rings

@@jennybrandon7321 I won’t comment on here about a garage’s practices as I don’t know the full picture but, deleting the code causing the error FOR an MOT is not usual practice. Here is what the rings look like. They do fall into disrepair often. I’d get that checked. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203613020428?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dG-T29hnRXe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vhxxnrfttic&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@stevecairns3754 these were seized. And every 453 I have done (three) were the same. Thanks for the comment though.

Aha. That makes sense. Mine came off nice and clean. All the best!

@@Azuosph hi. From memory there are no physical crash sensor/inertia sensors there is something within the radar detection module but there are a few g shock and gyro meters around the car. Not sure on how these are reset though. Apologies

@@zenlam5523 well spotted. This was picked up by other I think from memory. Have you seen those pliers with a spur like contraption made just for locating these springs? Not sure I can justify that for something I’d do every 6 or so years lol
