Ok i went and got my c210 roadworthied today, he was happy with majority bar: gearstick boot cover(forgot to put it on...), play in front door and the centre 2 lights not working, first 2 are an easy fix but the lights have me puzzled. Are these meant to come on when you pull the highbeam switch im not sure if theres a stuffed relay or something or if me and the mechanic were pressing the wrong buttons, any help would be great:)

As Socs says, pull the control stalk towards you to flash your high beams. As soon as you release the control stalk it goes back to centre and the high beams go off again. If you push the stalk away from you it should stay in position and the high beams should stay on, and you should get a blue light on your dash.

First, replace the fuse.

Then, you can test if the inner sealed beams (high beam) are dead by unplugging the cables at the back of the high beam and swapping them over to your (outer) low beams. If the low beams work when you pull on the control stalk then you know that the switch and fuse etc are all fine, it's just the sealed beam that has given up. The sealed beams from memory are a generic item from Bursons/ebay etc (5 and 3/4 inch?) and only three screws to remove and replace.

Good luck.

Got it all sorted today, it was just the lights were blown, got some from a mates 200b and voila there was light. I thought it may have been user error as on 180bs you need to turn all sorts of knobs and shit to make the lights work but this is much simpler, i shall be registering the old girl tomorrow:)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
