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:)

    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
    • I refer you to this thread on PF, by someone who knows what he's doing. Paints a good picture of the humble AD09.
    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
