Hi yes thats exactly what I have, there is a nokia phone in the centre console too. 6 disk changer in the glove box. The TV button does not work (assume TV was not installed as an optional extra).

Hi all, I am completely confused. I have searched on this site and on command online to see if I can upgrade my in car audio and sat nav system. My car is a 2003 55 AMG CLK. I have a command double din headunit. I would like to add an aux audio input and the most recent maps for the sat...

I have a 2003 55 AMG CLK. The CD magazine is stuck. It has done this before and eventually one day it just popped out. Its been over a month now and I keep trying the button to release the magazine with no joy. Is there another way of getting the magazine out. I bought the new Royal Blood...

Right so I have decided to keep my CLK 55 AMG for another year, I was thinking of going for something new but various circumstances (including getting married) mean it makes sense to keep the car for another year, but I have a budget for getting the car mint. With that in mind I have just had a...

My other half is laughing at me now because thats what she said it might be. I have taken it for a run and the knocking sound has completely gone now the car is warm. No coolant warning and no performance problems or blue smoke so I think I am just being paranoid. After the whole Valeo rad...

Hi guys, I have not driven my car for a while as I have been working away. I got back yesterday, so started her up and there was quite a loud knocking noise coming from the engine this subsided a little as it warmed up. I have had the coolant low warning come on occasionally in the last few...

Went out to my car yesterday and realised the high level boot brake light had fallen into the recess and the plastic lens is missing. I am not sure if its just fallen off (lots of posts this this effect on the net) or if someone has tried to break into the boot. Does anyone know where the...

Thanks for all the replies. This one does have a full service history as its been owned by the NHS so if it needed anything doing its been done. I might go and have a look at it this afternoon as I have a rare day off today.

It's funny that's how I feel about my CLK AMG at the moment. Buy a really good late MR2 Turbo. They are bullet proof and with a little easy modification ridiculously fast. If you want a good looking practical hard top look for a late FTO GPX manual, probably the best FWD car ever built. You...

Right I might be mad looking at another MB especially as my CLK is currently in the garage being fixed again!!! but. I need to get a 7 seater and there is a 112CDI manual for sale just near where I live which is a 1 owner with FSH and decent price. Its done 150k miles should this put me...

Thanks for the reply that has been really useful. The car is going back into the garage on Monday because I have another gearbox problem (luckily its under warranty) so I will give them the info and hopefully they will be able to sort it out. I doubt the car has been clocked as its done above...

Thanks for the reply can you clarify something. Are you saying its a common problem that if you change your battery its possible the milage loses 10k or are you sayingits a common problem if the car has been clocked and you change your battery the milage loses 10k My car has been on a STAR a...

I had another gearbox problem, this time the error code was a low voltage on the battery. Gearbox specialist changed battery and cleared the error codes. I have just noticed that the milage is now exactly 10k less on the display. I rang the gearbox people and they said all they did was change...

I just found this post looking for another problem. Can I suggest you get a glycol test done on your gearbox. Your car is showing the same symptoms as mine did, it went into an indie garage who diagnosed the electrical plate at the problem but it turned out the gearbox oil had been contaminated...

Thanks guys, the more I think about it, it seems the wipers started doing this when the bonnet warning came on. So my next question is where do I find the bonnet sensor so I can fix it.
