Hi All,

Hoping someone can help - I have a few problems with my Coupe that are rather annoying:

The sunroof goes slides and tilts fine but it doesnt seem to sit right when closed and has scratched itself very badly when retracting. Any ideas?

I have serviced pretty much everything on the car last week but find the car doesnt start as quickly as I'd like it to. Is this a problem related to the KE injection system or maybe a vacuum pipe leaking?

There is a huge amount of wind noise from the front screen when on the motorway - is this normal?? Surely not.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi I have a C320 and had similar issues with the sunroof, I now get it to sit level by sight, as opposed to the default setting of the controls, takes a bit of fiddling. I then always open the bloody thing instead of turning on the interior light!!!

The wind noise could be coming from the sunroof not being tight, I remember driving down the M4 thinking "god theres a fair bit of wind noise" when I stopped the sunroof was not flush with the roof and when it was , noise gone.

How old is the battery?

Not sure how old the battery is as I only bought the car two weeks ago. I have since replaced the convenience relay which has made the windows work. So will the battery not being 100% affect the sunroof? Also the central locking doesnt work?

First thing I check with starting issues doubt it will affect the windows though
