    2004 CLK500 xenon headlight ballast - Help!

    Hello folks, I'm struggling with headlights at the moment... My N/S (passenger) headlight isn't operating, so I changed the bulb and unfortunately, no joy. I bought a second hand ballast (using both MB & Bosch part number) unit from "automotive gadgets" via ebay, but when plugged in - never...

    Plugs and play Remap - Which one and why?

    Thanks gents... I figured this was case, hence why I've done it in past and not really noticed anything. I always see the claim of improved MPG and wondered if it was true. Car is tip top otherwise, always use a higher octane petrol and oil dropped only 1500 ago. So was just testing the water...

    Plugs and play Remap - Which one and why?

    Hello folks, apologies if this has been covered multiple times (tried using the search - bit didn't quite get the answers)... I acquired a CLK500 few months back and rather enjoying the miles so far. In the past, I've remapped various makes of car with a simple plug in job and it's had varied...

    Genuine Merc Centre Caps for 18" AMG 3 alloys... Best place?

    Thanks gents, Well I've got the transfers ordered... I'll check with MB themselves for a comparison (no point of spending £53/£72 if I can get them for £44 from source). Even at £44, still mental price for a bit of branded plastic, but hey ho... Is what it is Thanks again

    Genuine Merc Centre Caps for 18" AMG 3 alloys... Best place?

    Hello ladies and genitals... My car is being detailed (including a new coating on the calipers) so might as well do a couple of minor things whilst there... As title suggests and hoping to call on the experience of people who bought them before, where is the best place where I can get...

    Remove Old Wheel Weights sticker

    Just curious (as I'm not the most knowledgeable in detailing/aftercare)... Why would you not bother with snow foam? Is It because it's not effective, or is it because it's actually corrosive/abrasive/something bad? Many thanks, Kendo

    Error Free LED bulbs thread

    It's really the indicators and tail lights I'm after... Codger... Do they do the same bulbs without the DRL, just straight indicators?

    Error Free LED bulbs thread

    Apologies to resurrect a tiresome thread for some people, but has anyone successfully fitted front indicator and rear side/brake/indicators with LED bulbs? the reason I ask is my front indicator bulbs (regardless of make - Ring/etc.) seem to just go yellow/off white rather than stay orange...

    W209 CLK500 Camber Bolts

    Thanks for the insight gents... I do plan on lowering the car, (H&R Springs with Koni shocks). For me it's all about getting the car to drive the way it should. Do we have any experts with these camber bolts? Do I need just fronts... or fronts and rears? Has anyone got any links to...

    w221 David Wren Cars?

    If it's any consolation, I did exactly the same with my CLK purchase just under a month ago. I thought I managed to scope a deal and acquired a verycheap CLK350 V6 and then discovered this exact forum (Thank goodness I did)... I quickly started reading about the engine issues M272...

    RUST!.. Is there a future without it?

    It's something I see all of the time when under cars, brake pipes seem to be extremely bad and on some not very old cars I may add... Also really seeing a lot of really badly corroded suspension components these days like @190 mentioned Maybe the rust/corrosion problem is moving out of site...

    RUST!.. Is there a future without it?

    With all the advancements and many press releases that demonstrate continuous developments on engines, we are making cars with KERS systems, hybrid or electric cars, active/driverless cars... I am curious that if car makers are also striving to continue developing car bodies and if there was a...

    RUST!.. Is there a future without it?

    Apologies if this should be in the bodywork section, but deemed it more discussion than advise... After speaking to a few forum guys and the issues they have had with rust and the constant maintenance or investigation or preventative work, it did get me thinking. Now I'm not completely naive...

    UK number plates... Look naff!

    For a car that was developed and released in the modern times, that's quite a list!.. Doesn't help the confidence for the future eh? Would have thought the well documented rust issues were behind especially as these didn't come out until 2005 (which apparently well after the 'cheap metal'...
