    Alternative to a full sat/nav head unit

    If you're upgrading your head unit but struggling to choose the best sat nav system etc, then I suggest you start looking at systems that use your mobile phone instead? Either through mirror link or, like mine, the phone IS the stereo! Mine is a Sony head unit and an xperia Z2 This is the...

    UK's own Jay Leno

    I went to look at a car for sale last weekend and the guy had a huge building full of some lovely cars! Some were for sale, some were his "toys" and others were in storage.. But these caught my eye :) (Sorry about the photo quality) The red 280SL manual is for sale - I don't know...

    Help with battery, please!

    My car battery is on it's way out - with the terminals disconnected and it fully charged, it loses .01 volts every 5 seconds or so. Looking on ECP, there's three pages of batteries listed for my car!!! :eek: Do I need a type 19? 96? I was going for a Bosch, but they seem pricey compared to...

    Considering a Porsche....

    I'm considering changing to a Porsche - either a 996 or a Boxster-S (987) the 2008 Boxster-S cars seem to have different specs though. 0-60 is either 5.4 or 5.1, though the BHP is the same. Is this an error on Autotrader, or was there a tweak in 2008? The head is saying 987, but the heart...

    removing sticky crud

    I removed a cracked "Load protector" panel from my CLK and it's left all the double-sided foam tape crud behind.. What's the best way to remove it? (Probably not a razor as the bumper cover is plastic?) (Not sure if the link will work, but let's try it!)...

    Part number required - CLK

    Bumper trim - the section on the top of the bumper where the boot lid meets the bumper? It's plastic, and I assume it comes unpainted. Could someone, who has access to the EPC, find the part number for me, please? 2006 CLK 350 Sport with factory AMG body style. Thanks :)

    Alloy wheel exchange

    There are a few companies around that offer an exchange service on refurbished alloy wheels. Companies such as fa wheels in London, offer a refurb set of four, on an exchange basis, for around the £350 mark, which seems like a good deal to me? Has anyone used a company like this or have any...

    Does anyone know if the later CLK climate control unit (with digital display) is a straight swap / plug n play replacement for the one from a 2006 model? Ta :)

    209 CLK suspension refresh

    My 2006 CLK 350 sport has just passed 60,000 miles and I feel that the handling is quite what it used to be. It's not as 'planted' as it should. Don't get me wrong, it's still very good! Just not 'as good' What would the panel recommend the parts I should replace to give it a bit of a...

    revamp of model naming coming?

    Told by a sales guy at my local stealer: Mercedes are planning on revamping the naming process on all vehicles. There will be 4 base names; A, C, E & S all sub vehicles will fall under one of these branches, depending on where they "fit" in levels of prestige / size / cost etc. So.. the ML...

    Cruise Control - flashing cluster

    I've done a few searches and checked the manual, but I can't find a definitive answer to this: In the last two weeks, i've noticed that the segments in the speedo which light up when you set the cruise control now flash (3 x p/sec) but the system functions normally. The ESP is on and seems to...

    Nice Rosberg.. Deliberate?

    If this is true, then Nico's behaviour is deplorable and he should be banned for the rest of the season. Toto must have realised what he had done to be that angry to the media BBC Sport - Nico Rosberg hit me on purpose, claims Lewis Hamilton

    CLK 209 - M272 noisy thing..

    what I thought was the pulley wheel making a noise, I think is actually this round boxy tubey thing.. Anyone know A: What is it? B: What does it do? C: is it user-serviceable to give it a clean? (In case it's got crud in there) thank you :-)
