    CLK500 Sport cab quotes

    Just wondered if anyone can recommend a cheaper alternative to Direct Line who are cheapest so far at £460 which I still feel is expensive as I have max no claims and live in a low risk area. Tried the comparison sites but they are all around £550. Thanks in advance

    Issues with pairing HTC Legend with Comand

    Last ditch request for help before I bin my HTC Legend phone! Have been trying to pair it with the latest version of Comand in the W204. The phone "Pairs" but then drops out every 10 secs.

    Achieved my personal best mpg today

    And it's now becoming an unhealthy obsession! Big fan of the 220cdi Blue Efficiency. Any other PB's? Note: From cold, this was a mixture of B roads (5 miles) then 31 miles up the A3 through the Hindhead roadworks so not a constant "cruise".

    Am I the only one to have locked my key in the boot????

    Extremely frustrating day yesterday. Used the "unlock boot" button on the key, accidentally dropped the key in the boot, closed boot, locked myself out of car! Last time I use that button in isolation, lesson learnt :o

    SLK depreciation after 5 years

    Unfortunately I have found myself thinking the unthinkable and selling the 2003 plate SLK 32 within the next year. According to Glass's guide I'm looking at £11k trade or £13k for a private sale. Can anyone advise how much it is likely to depreciate if I wait until next summer? Appreciate...

    Anyone done Calais to Berlin?

    Going to see U2 play the Olympic Stadium, Berlin in July. The thought of tearing up the autobahn in the SLK32 from Calais to Berlin is tempting me, anyone done that trip?
