Sorry all, now sold and collected by a forum member, and going to a good home on a CLK55. Cheers Ian

Yes, I have set of the above wheels for sale. These wheels came off my CLK and have been replaced by another set. These 4 wheels were refurbished just over a year ago, and the lip was painted, as opposed to the polsihed finish (i.e. these would make a great winter set of wheels). Three of...

I se what you mean, pulled it out and am running it off a fused supply from the stereo. The trick was the renmove middle section between stereo and lighter tray. Cheers Ian

Will try that, with mallet standing by :-) Thanks Ian

Any idea how to get the ashtray/fag lighter out. Got the two screws out, but not easy to see how it comes out. (Yes, working on radio :-) ) Ian

Falken 452's are very good. From someone who normally goes for a Bridgestone or leading brand, these are just as good, and sticky. Many people on here recomed them. Buy from camskill, do a search on the forum for their details. Ian

Guys, Long time no speak, hi again. I ahve an interesting problem. The cigarette lighter socket/power socket in the car has stopped working, it still lights up at night, but no power. On checking the fuse for this (fuse 23 under the bonet) there is no fuse ! But how did this use to work...

I went for a Kenwood BT8041u. Inc hands free, ipod / USB audio, sub woofer control etc, and just over £100 Kenwood KDC-BT8041U Reviews PM me for any more details.

After only changing my rears speakers and fitting one amp this weekend I can understand how much work has gone into this. Good effort, and thanks for the pics. Cheers Ian

Sorry all. I did not manage to make it, as the other half not only has taken a liking to the Merc but she took her liking of the Merc all the way to Leeds at the weekend. Will be there for the next one. Ian

If the speakers did not have a big crossover mounted to it, I would be tempted as a start to just replace speakers. I suppose firing down uses the boot as a chamber to improve the bass. Interesting stuff. Ian

Umm some lower springs on ebay, auction no : 230330019615

Thanks, it's all becoming more clear. Have now had a peep at the rear speakers, as they do sound nice, though the standard rear speakers fire downwards!!! They must be set out of phase. I do assume there is an MB amp hidden on the left of the boot which drives those. Thinking about...

I can confirm Mercedes have stuck with convention and the stripe is live. How to change door speaker article coming soon, once I have put the doors back together. Ian
