    272/273 balance shaft issue

    I have been offered a clk 280 I have been warned that there may be a problem with these engines, that can cause catastrophic failure if it develops the issue. What is the failure rate? Is the s a common problem? Am I best off just walking away?

    Looking to get back to MB

    I have been looking a couple of 350s They look nice, is there anything i need to be looking out for, the bodywork seems quite good on these? I take it the rust issue was but to bet by the time these came along?

    I have found a couple of clk 500s for around the £4k mark. May be worth a look too

    Is the CLK 55 as complicated? Maybe that would be a better option?

    ...also the R129 has rear seat belts, which would be handy.

    Looking to get back to MB

    I do like the R129, so not ruling it out completely. But it was the 230 I was looking at. It will be a 2nd car, so will be garaged until the sun comes out. So the leaking shouldn't be too much of an issue. Is the 350 a big jump from the 500?

    Looking to get back to MB

    Morning all. I sold my CLS about 7 years ago. I am now looking to buy myself a toy. I am looking at an SL, preferably a 500 but will consider anything. Looking at some form 2000 ish, I am seeing them from anything like £4000 upwards. Is this about right? Are there any inherent problems I...

    So C32 and C55, does not seem to be a lot of difference apart from V8 appeal?

    Thinking of coming back to MB, retro style

    Thanks for the tip. I Really do love the Cl and 1000 - 1500 miles a year. £1 per mile in repairs? :LOL: I have my eye on a couple of W203s too. So I need to get in and drive a few and see what I like best

    Thinking of coming back to MB, retro style

    Any advice on what to look for, which engine to go for? I have seen the CL500 for as little as £3000. Is this just going to be a whole heap of trouble? Do I go for the 500 or the AMG?

    Thinking of coming back to MB, retro style

    Hi everyone. It has been 5 years since I sold my CLS, and I am thinking it's time I started looking for another toy. I have been in an Audi for the last 5 years, and to be fair, it has been pretty good. I am now buzzing around in a VW transporter as my daily, so I am looking for a toy. I don't...

    Advice on what to do with a clk

    I was thinking that myself, RWD, light back end, I would say 90-100kg of non essential stuff in there to come out. :cool:

    Advice on what to do with a clk

    I may do, the W208 is at that point, nice car to drive but repair bills are more than the value of the car, and it's not hit the point where there are only a few left so, the price will go up. Maybe mothball it for 10 years, and wait till the rest rust away :D

    Advice on what to do with a clk

    To be honest I had no idea what it was worth, so had a quick look on ebay, and the seem to be £500 - £3000 so I just put a figure as it would have been pulled down without a price. Not really sure what to do with it. They said they would like £1000 for it, but looking around, and from what you...
