No, nothing on this forum, I checked some motor factors and they were about £300 each, so I did nothing.

Thanks Nick I have managed to track down a head, but if it doesn't suit I will give you a shout

I haven't checked the price of a new head yet, as it will probably scare me. I have 170k miles on the car. I was driving along when I noticed the temp go up past 80 and then it started to go higher so i pulled over and stopped.

there was no obvious symptoms, until the car overheated, whereupon I immediately switched the car off and had it collected and delivered to a garage friend. He found a trace of oil in the water and so removed the heads to find that the gasket had leaked and the oil had mixed. He sent the 2 heads...

I have no idea how the crack happened, and it does leak a little oil. I didn't know you can repair a head.

Hi All, Please let me know who breaks Merc's or might have a lead for me to follow to try and secure a head for my prize 55. cheers ian

Hi, Please help My 2001 CLK55 has cracked a head. Would anybody know where I can get a right hand head? Thanks Ian

Can somebody supply front wings for my 2001 CLK55? Thanks

Guys, Please advise on the potential value of a w208 clk55 with 177k miles. I love the car, but maybe it is time to change

My CLK55 has a little surface rust on the front wings. With the price of the wings I dont know if it is worth fixing. My 55 has 177k miles on the clock, but I still love having fun with the tail out

Local Tyre garage suggested blowing out the broken pieces, so I decided to give the car a good old charge and it seems to have blown the rattle away quite literally.

I have the same thing with my 2001 CLK55, and my local tyre garage advised it is the cat converter breaking down. I just gave the car a blast over the past few days and it seems to have blown the loose stuff out the back. Problem is I now need back tyres......
