I've just aquired a MC3010 CD Changer for my 2001 S203 C270 fitted with Audio 10 Radio/Casette. Have not checked yet to see if there's any pre-wiring in/behind the glove box, but suspect that I will need to buy A2035403408 fibre optic and A2035400809 D2B cable - and presumably a power supply...

Can anyone give me specific guidance on the above please? The 40 year old handbook just says to use 'approved' fluids - can someone translate that into Halfords 2009? ;) Cheers!

Can anyone recommend a good Indie for a colleague who lives in Broxbourne, Herts.? He's suffered the usual MB dealer rip-off experience so I said I'd try and secure him someone who actually cares and knows what they are doing. It's a 'modern' I'm afraid - '06 CLK covertible Much obliged P.S...

Having seen some amazing results, I'm interested in having a pro detailer set the W124 up for the summer. I think it'll also encourage me to keep the car in sparkling nick afterwards. Does anyone have personal experience of someone good and ...particulalrly important this...not stupidly...
