Hi all, I've got the iPod Interface kit which I purchased for my CLK and removed when I sold the car. I owned it from new, and can't remember the exact price I paid but it was a helluva lot I think circa £200. I'm open to offers, but I was hoping for about £100. This is the full kit...

Have you chaps seen this? It looks very cool. Apparently MB will be issuing a press release listing which cars it will be included with this week. As someone who's considering a new car and who is often frustrated about the quality of all in car computer systems I find this quite exciting!

Has anyone got these? What sort of space is left in the middle seat once.. umm.. erected? I'm seriously considering an E-Class, but I'm really struggling to fit my 3 children into one. I've had a demo car for the past 4 days, and this weekend I really struggled. Children are aged: 7...

Hi all, I'm looking for a new motor, one big enough to squeeze 3 kids in the back (ages 7, 3, and 1 so car seats can be an issue) and at the moment I'm really leaning towards a new E-Class. Before I make any decision I wouldn't mind bouncing a few things off some real owners rather than...

I've got a A209, with a broken CD player (everything works, it's just that the CD loading mechanism has been broken by my 2 year old inserting a number of 2p coins into the slot... :wallbash:) I'd like a replacement - and as MB want in the region of £500-700 I've looked at ebay. There are a...

I'm trying to see if that car seat I've got (Mamas & Papas Pro Tech) is also compatible with my dad's C180 (2004). I know it's fine in mine because I don't have airbags in the rear, but my dad's car does - does this mean I need an official MB seat, or do you only have to disable airbags when a...

Here's the deal - I'm trading in my CLK, and I paid for the 17" AMGs myself. I'll get nothing extra for part exing the car with them on, so if there's an MBClub-er who want's them for the bargain price of £100 then let me know. Conditions: -It's got to be a swap - whilst AMG wheels add no...

As requested, here's an update of my car going in for some work I took my car in with two problems: 1) drastically increased fuel consumption (getting 250 miles out of tank instead of near 400) 2) Aircon not working. They can't find anything at all wrong which could be causing the problem...

How do things generally work at dealers when you take your car in and you're not exactly certain of the problem? For example, I'm taking my car in this week and I've got a problem with my aircon (it's not cooling the driver's side and it's squeaking really loudly) and my car has suddenly become...

I've got a spare set of wheels of my A209. They're the standard 16s which have the following dimensions: Fronts: Size:16x7 Offset: 37 Tyre:205/55R16 Rears: Size:16x8 Offset: 32 Tyre: 225/50R16 Someone is interested in buying them and they drive a 190e. I've looked at the pdf on the...

I took my car in for a multipoint inspection yesterday, in order to sign up for service plus (this story is a whole other can of worms so I'll try and avoid going into it here). I took it to my nearest MB dealer who ran the checks and everything came back fine except that there was an issue...

I'm sad. Each time I fill up I resent the trip computer, and each time my fuel light comes on I take a mental note of the milage. Why? Because I believe it's a good idea to keep track of potential issues. Well now I think I've found one. I've had my car for just over 12 months (it's a...

As the weather was so nice yesterday I tried to put the roof down on my A209, it seemed to go fine until the point where the metal roof cover (that lifts up and the roof folds underneath) didn't quite close. It got stuck about 3 inches above the rest of my car, which beeped in error. 3 goes...

I've just started writing my Groom's speech for my up-and-coming wedding. I've got as far as: "Hello" and I've hit a bit of a block. I was just wondering, I'm sure many of you are married or have attended many weddings at least - is there a groom's speech that stood out to you as being...

I recently fitted for new (to me) AMG wheels to my CLK. I'm experiencing to minor 'shakes' at around 70mph+ that I'm certain weren't there before. What could the possible cause be? Is it likely to be dodgy wheels or more likely to be the fitting?

I'm due to be getting married at the end of Feb, yay me! :D One job I've got is to sort out the honeymoon. Now, the obervant among you will have spotted that I've only got 6 weeks to do this, erk. We're getting married near the Scottish boarder, so my future wife and I plan on going to...

I've recently purchased some refurbed AMG wheels off ebay. The specs seem to match my car (an A209) according to the link provided in the original post. The wheels are 17x7.5 front, with a 37 offset, and 17x8.5 rear with a 34 offset. So if that document is correct (and if I'm understanding it...

I've got a D70. Superb condition, it's been well looked after. I'm willing to sell it body only (I'd like to keep my lenses as I plan on upgrading to a D80). I've got various compact flash cards that I'd be happy to include in the sale, I can't remember all of the sizes off hand (will check...

I've just contacted my local dealer and asked for a service plus quote. I've been told that I've got to get two different quotes, one for a 12 month warranty quote and one for a service quote. So far I've only had the warranty quote, but that's come in at: £1056 + £200 inspection fee (to...
