Many thanks for these. I suspected this straight away as I know that it has been a problem before. Great guides. The cars been owned by the good lady for 4 years and this is the first problem its ever had. Hopefully it'll be straight forward.

Thanks Fabes. Yes. the roof is up and was put in during the morning run to work but was car had its unfortunate event in the afternoon. I will book it at my local Merc specialist in Hull.. they have STAR and are generally not that expensive compared to the cost of the equipment. I wasn't...

Hi all My wife recently drove her clk into a wall causing some minor damage to the front. This has all been straightened out/replaced but her roof isnt working. On the day she crashed it the roof had been off in the morning so i was working bu his was around 4 months ago. Is there some form...

Brown Ford Escort.. That must have been quite a sight when expecting a shiny xr3! :)

I agree with mat8n.. it seems to have a bit of an identity crisis - sharp suited up front and track-suited slob at the rear. The side profile flows beautifully as ever.

My 15 year old daughter genuinely believes she is getting a range rover sport for her 17th birthday. She has been told many times that this will not be happening.

I don't mind a travel for the right car. I have also (perhaps unwisely) purchased unseen. Makes everything a little more exciting! And thank you.

I think the mystery has been resolved... The w208.447 and w208.448 have different manifolds and downpipes. Now to see if they are interchangeable. The fun never stops.

Its just been historically optimusprime. I currently have my hands full with a broken clk. I know when I sold my w126 a year back there was a particularly well priced clk amg that caught my eye. I searched everywhere for it (ebay, retrorides etc - all the usual places to find cars) and...

I guess I should get posting! :) Thanks for the replies.

Hi All. I have seen a couple of cars over the years on mbclub in the for sale section but I don't post enough to contact the seller or to comment. There is one on there at the moment that is of interest and has been for a couple of months but I cannot contact the seller. Is there any way that...

Hi all. Does anybody know if there are any differences between models of CLK convertible and hardtop exhaust manifolds and down-pipes? I have a 2000-2001 convertible clk and recently purchased an exhaust for it. I went skipping out to the car only to find the front end (nearest to the engine)...

Repairing some minor front end damage and making the decision to use the mbclub forum more often.

Thanks for the reply.. I have been looking for a star system.. Only I have seen seem to be quite pricey. As a short term solution I have booked the CLK into a local independent with Star to get it diagnosed/reset. Once I finally get round to choosing new car I think I might need to buy a good...

Hi All. I have searched before posting but cannot find an answer that fits perfectly. My w208 has a 38 pin connector. I can use an OBD with adapter lead for basic diagnostic reads. I currently have an SRS light on. I have cleaned the terminals under the passenger seat and it has not gone...

Yep.. tried that one.. I used the good old fashioned dipstick and all appears to be well! I dont know if its just my car but with fresh oil in it is a little difficult to see the oil level with an orange dipstick. Was easy when the oil was dirty! Many thanks! Alan

2001 facelift one.. Big round speedo with a large display in the centre with 2 smaller displays (that dont work due to pixel fade) on each side showing rpm and the other side with fuel and temp. Thanks, Alan

Hi all, I have just completed an oil change on my CLK and was expecting an option on the dashboard controls to check the oil level.. Were these an optional fitment as I do not have an option on the menu to do check the level/amount of oil needed. Thanks, Alan

Thanks for the replies. I think I have to take a complete back to basics approach of cleaning and lubrication rather than looking for a quick fix. I have not really paid much attention to the roof really and it probably does need a good clean and lube up. I noticed that the fold back is not...

Hi All, My CLK's roof works fine but needs the rear cover pushing down lightly to fully close as part of the roof lowering cycle. Is there any adjustment that can be made to the roof to stop this happening? Once the roof has been done once in a day it is fine its just if it is not used for a...
