    Sat nav updates

    My 2005 CLK has a NTG2 version COMAND. I replaced the original 2004/05 DVD with a 2013/34 version and it updated the maps ok and in addition gave me ETA on the navigation screen. It will still only be as up to date as the map database of course, so soon afterwards I found I was occasionally...

    Most expensive service of my life

    I'm not very technical, but will certainly change the engine oil and filter now and again. Changing the ATF is quite a job though, I believe. It needs to be done at a certain temperature and pressure and I understand that MB and specialists have some sort of machine that works a bit like dialysis...

    Reasonable or extortion!

    Agree with everything you say here. I'd just point out that the original owner would have paid for the 3 years of worry-free motoring with at least £30 k of depreciation....

    Using Aux socket on CLK with NTG2

    I have the same NGT2 COMAND unit. Sorry but hooking up a USB stick to the jack will not work at all. You've already got as good as you're gonna get unless you spend a lot of money.

    Wing Mirror Glass Replacement

    If you're looking for a cause rather than a solution I'd suggest that these things are normally quite robust and it may be that some clumsy s*d has swapped their bad one for your good one...

    clk w209 Drivers Seat Belt Stuck Out.

    So far as I know the seat belt itself operates like most others, retracting back onto a spring-loaded drum. It is just the "feeder" that is electrical. You could check this on the working side with the key out of the ignition. To repair a sticking belt some suggest pulling the belt out to its...

    W215 Cl500 Cd changer

    Does the cartridge eject? When inserted, the player runs through and "previews" all discs in turn, prior to playing disc one. This can just about be observed with the player door open. You might remove all but one disc tray from the cartridge and use this with one good known disc to see if that...

    Tyre advice needed

    My rear tyres have gone from new to 3mm in 12.5k miles. Pirelli PZero MO.

    CLK w209 front splitter

    My CLK has the AMG body kit and lowered suspension and is already quite easy to catch on even a low kerb. An additional front splitter would require some careful driving when negotiating speed bumps or when parking. Apologies if I'm stating the square root of the bl**ding obvious...

    CD changer not working

    If it's like mine the first thing it does when a CD magazine is inserted is select and scan each CD in turn, before playing CD1. If it's unable to complete this routine it will not go any further. You can watch it attempting this if you leave the sliding door open... You could remove all but...
