    Why is there a second expansion tank?

    Hi been I while since I have been here. Hope everyone is well. I have recently bought a GLE 63S with the M157 motor and I absolutely love this beast! Didn't think it could top the feel of my old ML63 (M156) but in sport + mode it is an absolute HOOT!:cool: So, I was checking out and tidying...

    ML W164 Parktronic problem.

    Hi All. I have a bit of a poser for you. I have a 2007 W164 ML. Just two days ago the front left (N/S) set of three parking sensors stopped registering any objects. The system 'boots' as expected, all the LEDs light up upon starting ignition, front and back, but after that nothing...

    R170 SLK (2002) Roof will not operate at all.

    Hi All. Bit of a funny one this, haven't operated the roof for a few weeks, and come to do it today and the roof will not move at all. When you operate the switch not a thing happens. No noise from the hydraulics, no red light (flashing or otherwise) on the switch either. Also the normal...

    Hi All. Anyone know what this is and what effect it will have on my SLK? I seem to remember reading that something like this makes peoples cars worse after it is done! Any ideas? Cheers, Dan.

    SLK (R170) Xenon bulb replacement

    Hi all. How easy is this job to undertake? My offside (drivers side) headlamp dipped beam (the xenon one) has failed and the light on the dash has illuminated to say a bulb has gone. Now there are high voltage warnings all over the place, near the light but it can't be that dangerous to change...

    R170 SLK heated seats

    Hi. Can I ask if both the back rest and the seat cushion are supposed to heat up on these seats or is it just the backrest? Is it easy to fix if the seat cushions are not heating and they should? Cheers all. Dan.

    What front calipers will fit an SLK32 AMG

    Hi. I want to change my front calipers for something a little more 'showey' (sp?) What calipers (if any) from the MB parts bin will straight swap with what I have now? I love how my brakes work, but on an AMG I think the calipers should be a bit more distinctive than they are on the SLK32. Any...

    10 disc Sony autochanger

    Hi. Does anyone know where in the boot of an R170 SLK one of these would fixed? I really want to get it plumbed in to the Sony HU but I cannot decide where it should be mounted, if indeed it can at all. Is there even space for a changer in these cars? All thoughts appreciated. Cheers, Dan.

    SLK R170 Boot lid closing/alignment problem.

    Hi. My boot has never really closed well as I would like, as in, it always needed a fair bit of force to get it to close/lock. Thing is, when you use the roof, i.e. put the roof down and then up again, it makes the problem worse, and the boot panel between the rear lights (with the number plate...
