    London recommendation - cracked rim

    Rear tyre on CLS55 went flat yesterday - no sign of a puncture, but noticed a hairline crack on the back of the alloy which seems a likely culprit. Normally I use PCS for the car, but they're a bit of a trip with the wife's car to get something small done. Obviously getting a wheel fixed...

    MOST loop adaptors - wrong connection?

    Trying to bypass digital TV module to identify a fault. Bought a female MOST loop cable, but once I got the TV module out, I found a combined power and optical connection on the back. Splitting out the optical, it's just a narrow male connection (like the one which goes into the Nav DVD under...

    MOST loop for TV tuner - male or female?

    I wonder can someone help me out since I want to order one online ASAP and don't get home early enough to take the boot apart in daylight! In order to bypass the digital TV tuner in my CLS55, which sex adaptor is required? Also, any issues with the cheap plastic bypass loops rather than...

    Help!! Can't shut boot ...

    Main battery on CLS55 dead. Won't take a charge from my charger anymore. I can't shut the boot however, it just bounces off the lock. Doesn't make any difference whether I put in the emergency key or not and turn while shutting, doesn't matter if I try to activate the mechanism while open...

    Battery voltage?

    Big drive (~240 miles) two weeks ago last Saturday week (5th). Moved it on the driveway on the 8th. Not used since, dead as a door-nail this morning! :crazy: Bit annoyed, it had a new Bosch battery in it when I bought it (800A, 95Ah .. not sure if that's CLS55 spec or not). Should be able...

    Consumer rights when buying from trade

    A couple of issues have come up recently, which, while not terribly costly (in the scheme of things!), don't seem very ethical for a trade sale. I agreed a price eventually which was presented as is with a couple of known minor faults. The email with the invoice contained the language "All...

    2004 C55 AMG in Cubanite Silver - 96,700 miles

    Degenerating COMAND faults

    I have a COMAND fault on an ’06 CLS55 where, in use, it occasionally does a sort of soft reboot (not fully back to the Mercedes logo like when you switch it on) and flicks back to a blank screen with lines before resuming the function it was in before in about 5 seconds. It breaks the audio on...

    CLS55 passenger mid-compartment odd connector?

    There's a threaded female socket in the compartment between the rear seats (in the section just further rear than the 12V socket). What is it? It possibly looks like it would take a stereo audio lead from an mp3 played, but the form factor is bizzare. Any ideas!?

    C Class Front Bumper (A2038855625)

    I have a 2nd hand front bumper in very good condition sprayed in Cubanite Silver. It was a wrong order so never used. I believe it's the AMG style bumper for a normal C Class (I've seen C230 2004 2005 2006 2007 listed on some online adds along with this part no.). Also, from this forum...

    Parktronic fault?

    Had a look at a CLS55 today and was told the parking sensors weren't working on the rear. Turned out neither did, but I could do with some help guessing what the fault is. When driving, the "P Off" light seems to come on itself, thus disabling Parktronic. When I try backing or edging...

    NW London body/paint shop recommendations?

    Frustratingly, two of my trusted body/paint shops have closed in recent years leaving me not knowing where to go for some repair work. Paint shops have to be the most unreliable businesses in the UK in terms of quality, so recommendations really do matter! Anyone used someone in the NW...

    Any point in shopping around for parts?

    In the past, I've rung MB in Beaconsfield for quotes. Is it the same cost for MB parts in every dealership or can they offer individual deals? If the latter, where tends to be good? Alternatively, are there any good parts companies left on these boards? I've tried and failed in the past...

    Meeting point of value for CLS55 vs. CLS63?

    As some of you may be aware, I've had my eye out for a CLS55 and have seen fair prices of around £11k for 90-100k miles up to about £15k for 60k miles (good examples with reasonable extras in the right colours). Mostly the prices above that seem to be indy dealers taking the pee. Under that...

    2011/2012 A160 or Hyundai i20 Style

    Looking for one or the other, but with reasonable spec (thus the Style option for i20). Don't like plain red colour. Have driven an A160 with zero extras and it was a bit too boring along with small signs of careless ownership. The drive was yawny in that the steering was too light and...

    A good little car!

    At the risk of sounding a little .. vague .. I'm looking for a wee little runabout car, but not one so unpleasant that I want to drive it into a wall every time the AMG isn't around! So yes, an A Class really for about £5k give or take. Other half very interested in Hyundai i20s and i30s too...

    Ideally looking for the following: Around 60k mileage Black preferably, but not mandatory Parktronic Some other nice options always good (cooling seats would be nice!) Good service history I have a C55 to get rid of, but trade-in isn't mandatory, just putting it out there :) I'm...

    C55 to CLS55 "cross"grade ..

    Coming up on 5 years owning my C55 .. hard to believe! Love it, and early on replaced just about every fault it could have (thank Olly!!), but now looking for a change. C63 touring would be perfect family wise, but they just ain't shifting in price so something will have to jump the gap...
