Did anyone get this sorted in the end? I spoke to my local dealers today (Vikings of Canterbury) who advised to try out my spare key. This appears to work fine - apart from lowering the steering wheel into position. He thinks it could be a case of just replacing the batteries in the key...

I went to get into my car this evening - I initially felt something was not quite right when I pressed the button on the fob to unlock the car. Usually my lights all come on - tonight only the internal lights did. Then I started the car and my steering wheel did not move down into position and...

Ah I understand, but the boot on the CLK should mean I could put the weight plates directly over the rear wheels.....

Has anyone ever claimed work on MB warranty before? My CLK was purchased at MB Loughborough back in the summer and came with 12 months warranty. Ever since I've had it, there's been a distortion that sounded like it was coming from the rear speaker in the drivers door. Anyway - I finally...

I have just got home from a course at Thatcham. What an amazing place! Saw the new B Class in various stages of undress as well as a McLaren MP12C amongst some others. Loads of new innovations coming in the not too distant future and it seem Mercedes are at the forefront of research on a...

Thatcham ....

There's loads of alloy wheel couriers on eBay. They'll quote you a price by wheel diameter and with/without tyres.

Are you sure you spent ages looking? I just googled "BBC F1 theme download" and this was the first result: Formula 1 - BBC Theme Song

If you have a look on Tyrestretch.com - Image Library you'll find a huge library of pictures of different sized tyres on different sized wheels. Find your wheels and then a tyre size that will give you enough stretch to make your fronts legal, but not too much to make them look stupid. Have...
