Before I eBay it, one like this, Mercedes Benz W220 Ball Joint Press Installer Removal Kit Tool 5 Pieces Kit | eBay £20 but CBA posting it as it is fairly heavy so if anyone can pick it up from Wilmslow they can save £14 on a new one, all there, dont need it any more as dont have the car...

Rarely use the handbrake and noticed it works but itsnt that great, but its failed the MOT, car is a 2008 CLS 500, what is the usual cause and remedy for sticky handbrakes on these ?

Have occasionally had this pop up though the suspension seems to be working fine and it isnt dropping when left, or at least not by a huge amount, no more than it ever has done. My dad has a generic ODB2 code reader and tried using that to get clues but it didnt find a single code, is it that...

Anyone changed them, how do you get them off ?

Thought it was The front suspension, as mainly notice it when coming up the drive but seems to be rear brakes, its a 2008 CLS, no SBC so its not that. Any ideas ?

Hi, I have a 2008 CLS 500 (5.5 M273 engine), a while back I had a hot oil smell every time I drove it, turns out it was the cam blanking plug on the right hand bank, changed that and the strong oil smell went away. Apart from occasionally I get a similar smell, but not as strong when its been...

Taken from my 2008 (2009 MY) CLS 500 as have replaced with an aftermarket unit, in good condition and working perfectly, only removed on Monday this week. I think it is from before the security stuff was added but I am no expert, the car was registered May 2008 and the security codes were...

Currently have a CLS with NTG 2.5, which is ok, but looking to get an E55 which will have, correct me if I am wrong NTG 2 ? I see various direct fit replacements on eBay, are they worse than the 13 year old Mercedes system, are there any gotchas like losing the ability to adjust functionality...

2008 Facelift model with the NTG 2.5. LED tail lights, Trapezoidal exhausts etc (looks much better than the ones on the earlier models, much more modern) , a fairly rare combination, not many facelift models out there and most are diesels, as it is the later 5.5 500 it gets a healthy 388 bhp and...

Preferably in the South Manchester vicinity but will travel for the right car at the right price, no 20k low miles concourse candidates, well, unless you want to sell them cheaper :D Mileage less important to me than condition, originality and history, and the latter doesnt need to be main...

The SatNav in my CLS is the facelift NTG 2.5 with the card slot, it is a bit out of date, like getting on for ten years. Is there an easy cost effective way to get it updated to a later map set ?

Hi, have a 2008 CLS 500, I had a creak from the front left suspension and started doing the ball joint, got it apart and it was fine, then realised that the noise was coming from the Airmatic level sensor when I detached the dog bone that connects it to the top wishbone. I doused it in WD40...

My CLS has 112,000 on so I suspect it needs some attention based on the noise it is making when I go over speed humps and the like. I am thinking it is probably a ball joint but what else can cause it, car can be a little vague at speed as well. Any suggestions ?

I have a 2008 CLS 500 5.5, not an AMG so it has the normal brakes, the brakes are ok but expected better, suspect that they need a bit of fettling, I managed after a couple of stops from high speed to induce fade, something I have not experienced in a car in a long time, not horrendous but didnt...

I had a look at the brakes on my CLS 500 yesterday and decided that I will leave the pads a bit longer as they had 8 mm one side and 10mm the other, part of the reason is that the pins didnt seem too keen on coming out, if there a knack to getting them out, didnt want to muller them so just...

Couple of my rims have a few battle scars so will refurb them, any suggestions as to what shade matches oem on a 219 CLS, I usually go for Ford Stratos silver as it seems to not be too bright but thought I may as well do it properly and see if there is an actual, correct colour ?

Hi, I have a 2008 CLS (2009 spec) with the NTG 2.5 but the standard speakers, I think it sounds alright really, better than the Bose in my previous 350Z, however am interested as to whether its a direct swap and whether it is worthwhile ?

My Iphone will sort of pair with the command but then doesnt recognise it, seems so hit and miss, dug my old Samsung Galaxy 4 out and Bingo, works fine, pairs every time so I dont think its anything wrong with the car its the bloody £600 odd Iphone ! Any ideas ? Anyone had this problem...

Hi, just got a CLS 500 facelift, its great apart from a passenger mirror that decides to point forward, the casing has a crack near the bottom, its ok until it gets to exactly 30 mph and then it tries to point it forwards.
