I have taken my clk sport to a Mercedes specialist after I noticed a bad squeaking noise he couldn't identify the problem and ended up changing an arm and suspension spring that was snapped. The creaking noise is when I break hard or sometimes turn on full lock. Any ideas?

That's not too bad only going to change the one as the car is up for sale springs ended up being £56 including vat

Anyone got an idea of how much a front spring would be from a main dealer for a 2006 clk 220 sport? And if there would be much difference using an after market one? Cheers in advance

In the dash of my clk I have a compartment which can be pushed so it comes out, I have no idea what this can be used for as it is so small. I have seen others with cup holders does anyone know where I an buy from and if they are easy to fit? Cheers Ch

This is what I use very good for the money however no lifetime guarantee on rachets

Yep job done managed to find it, was ill informed that it was on the back of the engine cheers.

Just a quickie does anybody have an idea where the thermostat is? I've got in on a ramp but have no idea!

Also are they easy to fit or should I use a garage? Cheers

Anyone got an idea of how much these thermostats are?

My car is taking ages to warm up some people have said this is due to the engine being made out of steel, others have said it needs a thermostat and some say it should warm up within a mile. At the moment it takes abouts 15 minutes to warm up to the max any ideas?

I have a fully spec clk 220 CDI and I would advice not going for a small engine the saving isn't great Joe

I also wind using the vent on top if the dash board also contributes to the car steaming up when surely it should help demist it? Joe

My advice Steve would to be lighter on the throttle braking hard is also an issue in tearing up tyres. Joe

Thanks for all the advice I will find out what works best and let you all know. Thanks again.

Probably a quick answer but why does my car keep steaming up and how do I de-mist it without using air con or keeping using the de-mist button and blowing air out full blast? I've tried many things and its starting to wind me up Any ideas?
