Hi, I've decided to part ways with my W reg 2000 CL500 after 2 1/2 years of mostly hassle free driving - the only problem that surfaced was as I looked to P/X at a dealer a couple weeks ago! sods law that when I wanted to sell the car decided to give me a fault. thankfully it was only the crank...

What they need to do more is the F1 Star in a reasonably priced car and Get Lewis back in to do a dry lap! would be good to get Raikonnen into an ep too!

I recenty got my insurance on a CL500, 6 points, 2yr NCB, 28 10+ years on the road, renewal quote was £1200, average on the comparison site £1400, best broker deal £1100 and just as i was about to give up i went to Aviva, £747 fully comp. very chuffed with the deal, thats one heck of a saving...

This is a picture of a strutt conveniently on ebay that can help me illustrate my point! so where i circled it, the rubber is worn, and a hole is developing across a couple concertina(?) parts. Does this constitute a fail or not? and you're sure the whole strutt will need to be replaced? no way...

Thanks Johnny, but I dont plan on doing the conversion myself! Its beyond my capabilities and confidence to trust my own handiwork! I wanted to see what others have experienced and Mblinko's post was very useful. Anyone recommend a conversion garage in the Southwest?

Hi All, Having checked some of the threads around and not finding much on LPG conversations, I wondered how many people have had their Merc's converted to LPG and whether anyone would like to share some stories about their conversions - good experience or bad, I would like to see what the...

Hi, I recently had my MOT in November and everything went through peachy - I had wondered what I may be up against next year when the new laws kick in. Does anyone know what the rule is around the 'dust covers for suspensions' and what that means? the gaiters on one of my rear right is starting...

I take those valuations with a pinch of salt, since they are the ones looking to buy off you, so of course they will ask for less. I've now gone and done a check of whats on autotrader, there are 18 cars of the same year, less than 100k on the clocks, highest was £11k, lowest £3995, average...

I have been lazy, but its not been easy what with the early dark evenings and the incessant rain from having the car in prestine condition for a photoshoot! i've taken some this morning which is slightly better, but will give give it a wash and head to a nicer location in the afternoon!

thanks for the advice, advert re-worded to fit in some of your suggestions!

Thanks Graeme, what would be a good time to sell if you're suggesting this time of year isnt good for selling? hugely dependent on whether there is any buyers out there looking for a CL500 of course, so I guess its down to a bit of luck if there is someone looking for one!

If only Autotrader had the sort of ticker that you see on ebay, or even on this forum, so you know how many people have seen the advert! Aside from those emails from 'an interested buyer abroad using a courier service to pick up vehicle' and some 'SSttretch your canvasss!' calls i've not had...

In case anyone was interested, since this was a while ago, but After taking it to the garage, the mechanics pointed out the chime may have something to do with the mobile phone in the central console. once the 'battery is charged' the chime indicates it is fully charged. since its quite an old...

Hello! After 20 months with my CL500, I have reluctantly decided to offload and move onto something a little more economical. I've got it up on Autotrader, 2000 MERCEDES-BENZ CL CL500 2dr Auto Coupe if anyones interested please have a look! The reason why i'm posting today is because I'm dont...

Hello! I've finally taken my car in to have the Star Diagnostic done on the car and the little electronic gremlins now have a face! I'm trying to get the specific codes off the garage so will post it here as it arrives. The door handle automatically opens the door, so the sensor works, but...
