    actros devolped eleccy fault ie tacho stayed on rest woohoo whilst i was driving, speed govener stopped working (again WOOHOO) could do 85mph plus heehee(so i was told :whistling:0 but most worring was it would apply brakes by its self (gremlins :duh: ) which was not funny whilst bombing it down motorway at legal speed of 56mph :lol: to suddenly come to a complete halt for no apparent reason oh yeah and gears reversed themselves ie wen trying to select low gear it always put me in highest gear and NO reverse gear at all, problem eventually diagnosed and sorted as a complete fuse box failure due to water damage corroding terminals, recovered from grimsby to merc garage in immingham and all wireing in fuse box ended up with new connectors 36 long hrs later i got on road again

    my dad has a couple of merc commercials - sprinter(312D & 315cdi)and a vito(111cdi), tell me something, why are the electrics on them so $hit?...they go through light bulbs, like there's no 2moro.....they do carry the weight well though- sometimes u forget theres weight in the back....i prefer the 312d old school(1999 "T" plate, with over 200,000 miles on clock and still pulls like a train)

    the haulage company i work for have mainly merc actros and headlight bulbs are for ever blowing(flipping annoying as hell) where as the volvos we have hardly ever blow, mercs are 54 plates thru to 58 plates volvos 05 to 09's, but saying that prefer the mercs for cab space

  5. i had this problem on a mk2 ls400 i had a while ago ie no illumination on radio or air con (annoying at night time) i also had the blinky dash syndrome, i sorted the blinky dash prob myself with 2new caps and at the same time it sorted the radio and aircon lights woohoo bonus lol so i would say its more than likely the caps as cant see all the bulbs in the radio and aircon display all going at once

  6. well the mrs calls me a air head sometimes so aye it must clear the head as i drive for a living lol :whistling:

    yep know wot u mean by the driving and clearin head, im going through a tricky time with mrs in hospital and a good drive here there and everywhere does the trick
