Hi, When I bought my CLK one of my favourite convenience features was the power folding mirrors. Both my driveway and work car park are very tight and the auto folding mirrors made life a lot easier. I read on here that they can cause issues with the indicators/heater so turned the...

In the early days of the forum, it was common practice for people to do their own mods as it was alot easier back then. Changing bumpers, updating lights etc could be done without the need to plug the cars into STAR and what-not. We even had a large thread on this call the 'Modtanica'. As time...

Hi all I'm back in a Mercedes my last being a CL55 about 18 months ago and last Sunday I picked up a C32 AMG. Here's a few pictures of how it looked when I got it home: My wife said it's very plain and very grandad'ish which made me sulk So I immediately started planning what I...

Hey guys, I'm at the stage with my car where I either swap it, or make a few changes to it. Thinking alloys/body kit/remap/speakers etc etc. Have any of you guys made any decent modifications to your CLK coupe? If so, any ideas would be great. Thanks. James.

Hi Guys, So this isn't tuning as such, but thought this was the best place to put it. I've got a CLK55 CAB, which I have sourced some genuine AMG tips for a quad conversion. Here's the thing, I don't want to remove the original back box with AMG tips, it's in perfect condition and tbh, all...

Had both rear boxes removed today by EMP Performance. The sound is superb, not screamingly loud, just a nice V12 purr. EMP is a great team of people. Phoned them before 9am this morning, was booked for afternoon slot the same day. Here's the result: I'm going for a ride now, can't get...

Hi Guys, I'm contemplating modifying my 5th gear to make it longer on the VW, because I've read it is fairly simple to do. However I have not seen one successful write-up with pics or any info on where to get the parts using google! My car is averaging 60mpg at 70mph on motorways most of...

I've seen a posting somewhere on the forum about a member that did an EGR modification on his C270 CDI. Why would one do that, more power? What does such a modification typically entail? There are also a number of postings regarding inlet manifold flap/servo motor problems. Can someone please...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know if it is possible to modify the original iphone cradle so that it will charge the latest versions?:confused: This might also apply similarly to the ipod interface, which also does not charge the latest models. I would imagine that the power is available, and...

I have had an ongoing problem with the car thinking that the O/S front indicator bulb has blown and the foglamp acting as a substitute. The problem doesn't happen all the time but MOT time is drawing near and the problem is becoming more frequent. It sometimes clears after turning ignition off...

...Colour coded grill! I wasn't sure whether I'd like this or not, so I saved my mint chrome grill, and bought a 2nd hand one of ebay for £12. :D £24 spent at paints4u.com, a couple of evenings' work, and bingo! I know it won't be to everyone's taste, but I'm really pleased with it...
