    My first car which I still have is a white 97 c230. its lowered on bilsteins and it was my grandpas. He had it 3 years and bought it because it was lowered (lol) sold it to me and I've had it for 3 year and it's been nothing but reliable 316,000kms and still going strong just about ready for new shocks tho. great video randy!

    I think I put this on the original video for this car, but my daughter totaled my 97 C280 hitting a Jersey barrier at 60. And walked away without a scratch. The W202 is a great platform.

  • @ΗρακλήςΑναγνωστόπουλος-π1τ

    Hey Randy. As other people mentioned the fog lights are built in the front lights assesment. As far as the slow temperature concern you probably do have a problem with your thermostat cause from my personal experience this car warms up pretty fast it's engine

    MB Used same light switch (9 or 11 pin version, 11 had fog lights) for many C class cars, no fog lights on your car, was optional, removeable plastic cover and fog lights added) LED on radio and hvac fade after time, pressing screen sometimes makes it come back

    The display may be suffering from Zebra strips with bad contact, a relatively common problem with older LCDs. These can basically be cleaned (be very careful on the display side and use demi H2O with 99% isopropyl alc) or replaced. An automotive environment seems like exactly the place where those would be used. The alternative would be a hot bar attachment affair, which is a high-temperature plastic film cable that's been soldered on using, you guessed it, a hot bar, basically a soldering iron with a massive tip.
    Two bulbs out in the same rear light? Could be a coincidence, but I would definitely check the ground, too...
    As someone with a modest collection of things (not cars but radios, keyboards and most of all music) I can relate to the process of rediscovery. I was going through music releases from 2013 earlier...

    A car guy who can't tell that the fog lights are in the headlights. The fog light on the rear is for showing there is a car to someone driving up on them from the rear and that is the side to pass on.
