Hey guys, this is it (for now). I'm off to Dubai transferred by the company I work for; my CLK has been sold, the house for rent, so that's me. I enjoyed keeping an eye on this website, though I will still have a look at it but not too frequently as my car will now be a Ford Explorer with a good...

Agree... and as long as you keep them clean, all good. My previous car, a BMW 530 black sapphire would look great as long as it was clean and shiny; previosly another BMW (520 this time) was white and again, great when clean and my first car was a Chevrolet Caprice Classic 1979 (yea, same as the...

I would say it would depend on the car... a red Ferrari looks good whereas a red RR Ghost not so good, but for now I'm happy with my silver CLK... lovely!!

The same questions goes from me..... How do I post pictures?

Congrats Gary, the car looks great, my favorite MB

Loved your summary and car Andy, congratulations. Still the CL is my favorite. Simon, I couldn't see the pictures from my office this morning, but now I saw them from home (sky broadband) so maybe you are also being a victim of restrictions in your network?

Me too, nothing like a clean car (tyres and alloys included please!!!) .

Actually this week I learned something.... the same principle of driving off in second gear on a manual car to prevent getting stuck applies to the automatic gearboxes. Earlier this week in one of my "stuck in the snow" episodes, a guy who helped me out by pushing my car, asked me to change from...

My first snowy winter with my CLK and I can tell you that it has been fun!! As the car is so light in the back, it gets stuck very easily, but I manage anyway and I still love it :thumb:

Hmmmmm.... I understand now what happened to me the other day... in a cold morning I drove off my garage and a couple of hundred meters I noticed the big bag on the gearbox coming from 2 to 1... Now I can see that it is a common problem!!. After driving BMW's for the past 9 years I think the...

Good one Kwik Fit!! Here we go again... I also had a bad experience with them; I took my wife's A Class for a front tyre replacement. I paid for the bill and drove off. Next day I felt some vibration... guess what!! the alloy wasn't bolted back on!! . I secured the bolts myself and went straight...

My lady used to play with the snow driving over the remainings along the kerb on her old Picasso, and when I showed her the damage, she stopped doing it!! Now that she has a brand new Qashqai, she treats her car so nice that I can bearly see a scratch.

A few days a go I noticed some oil spill in my garage where my CLK-240 sleeps. It was red coloured so I was sure it came from the automatic transmission (I also checked the power steering but all hoses and conecctions were dry). I took it to the garage and effectively the suspect was a plug...

Finally I sorted the problem!!. If you see your car from the front, you will see on the left hand side -next to the foglight - a hole; that is exactly the place where the sensor should be located. I again dismounted the wheel and plastic cover and pushed the sensor inside the receptacle (hole)...

Yes, but can you see the sensor from the outside? Meaning, if you face the grill, can you see it? The problem is that if the sensor is hiding behind a hard surface, it is giving false temperature I guess
