Before anyone shoots me down: I know it's not a Mercedes! But like me, I'm sure the majority of forum users are car enthusiasts and therefore will appreciate this most iconic of cars. It wasn't built in Stuttgart but Ingolstadt but I thought I'd share it with you all the same. Some if not most...

I get to clean alot of cars these days in my line of work! I thought I'd share this one though with the forum as it is so special. Another forum member, Neil ( @Neiltodd ) asked me to give his C63 'The Works' treatment. Who was I to refuse and deny myself of the opportunity of preparing...

All, I'm assisting a fellow for. Member here with various links etc. Im sure nobody will have any objection.. A210 Evolution ( LWB ) 2002 , ex Edd1968 owned Mercedes A210 Evolution LWB Gone all arty-farty City & Guilds style...

Just for the sake of interesting talking points... I decided that after having my wheels refurbished and tidying up the existing set up that they looked a little lost inside the wheels. So a bit of research later into big brake conversions and looking into what I can get at an affordable price...

Anyone about to pay stupid money for a new set of oem discs and pads? Well why not have these ones? They will fit the following : CLK, C-CLASS, SLK, and they're the ones I know of, there will be many more I'm sure. The discs are 300mm. They are in virtually new condition with the smallest...

Hi all, I am trying to identify from a set of part numbers what size of disc these calipers require (small project I'm working on) the respective numbers are as follows: w211 front brake callipers 20.7046.03 - nsf 20.7046.04 - osf There being a miriad of variations I am trying to get it right...

Long shot this one but here goes, Is there anyone out there in MBclub land down in the Chatham, Gillingham (postcode ) area who would be willing to go and pick up an Amg exhaust for me. Then I would arrange a courier from your location. It is in a place where parcelforce can't collect. It's a...

With this warm weather we're experiencing up here it was a breath of fresh air (quite literally) to have our own wee grand tour. Headed over to Ullapool for Easter lunch with sister in the CLK on some of the UK's best roads. The A835 is just magical, winding its way west from us to Ullapool...

Technical question: Our CLKs have the natty feature of pressing and holding the unlock button on the key fob it opens all the windows simultaneously (to vent hot air when going back to the car on a hot day) similarly when their all down and you press and hold the lock button everything shuts up...

I had a friend (and his lovely wife) come to stay last night. A spot of dinner, some drinks and laughs. What I hadn't reckoned with was having Beelzebub; one of the seven princes of hell also present!! Because when it fired up and spat fire and Damnation out of the quad exhaust pipes I thought...

I like to spend time studying and learning all I can about the particular marque and model of car I drive. I'm well and truly stumped this time. Can anyone else out there more geeky than I tell me anything about this alternative design CLK xenon headlight. I've only seen this once before on a...

Any SLK owners out the come across this, was opening my friends roof earlier to lubricant various hinges etc and it's now stuck half open, the motor won't even turn over, just clicks, and the roof won't move. It was fine yesterday and the roof has gone up and down a couple of times while I...

As the title says. In my opinion, being a passionate Porsche and Lancia fan!

I've got a friend staying for the weekend. I had 2 jobs to do to his lovely little SLK, the first being fit a complete set of discs & pads, the second to give it my full 'The Works' treatment. Which as the title says is everything from engine bay detailing to ceramic coating. Had alot of fun...

Springtime is a time for pairs and pairing (read into that what you will ;)) It's a lovely morning up here so just coz I can, I thought I'd share some elegance with everyone. A lovely pair if ever I saw them! :)

Mrs Edd1968 just showed me this picture that she'd seen on fb. M23 yesterday apparently Hope it wasn't anyone on here and I hope they were all OK. 2018 E Class or?

This afternoon, instead of valeting real cars I vacuumed the dust off of this lot, using a soft brush attachment. 52 Porsches (my collection from 1951-2002), 1 Ferrari, 1 Moggie Minor and a group of my favourite Racing Motorcycles. (Minichamps) They really need a glass cabinet but that's full...

I know some of you members have these to play with whenever you feel the urge but last evening I was given the pleasure of having a play around with one of these (not this actual one I hasten to add). Ok it was sat in its warm snug garage and I only sat in it, but boy oh boy it barked at me in...

This week's episode was one of the best and funniest I've ever seen. Brilliant. A must watch. For those who haven't watched it yet I'll say nothing. :)

I had some free time this afternoon so fired up my lovely CLK, having not driven it for 2 weeks, and went for a splash of petrol. Got accidentally on purpose lost ;) and ended up at my favourite deli. 15° & sunny in the Highlands, Caramel Latté and this elegant view. My day was made!
