    SL55 Strange noise

    All, I have an '03 SL55 which has developed a strange noise, and I wondered if anyone has any suggestions. The noise starts and stops as I turn on the engine, and is best described as sounding a bit like a central heating radiator when it comes on. It sounds like it is behind me from the...

    W205 C63 Front disc and pad change

    Hi all, I'm contemplating doing the above to my 16 plate C63, and saving a fortune compared to the likely main dealer price. Does anyone have a tutorial or a video? I've been looking around and can't find anything. I've done them on a 997 Turbo and so am reasonably competent (although I did...

    Pure 466/600 in an SL (R230)

    Hi all, I've done a search and can see that plenty of people have upgraded to DAB using one of these gadgets. I've fitted one to me son's Abarth 500 and he loves it. My question is to anyone who has fitted one in a convertible, either an SL or an SLK. What have you done about the magnetic...

    SL55 - is my suspension too low?

    Hi all, Loving my SL a couple of weeks in. I've booked it in to my local indie next week for a health check, while it's still under the dealer's warranty.

    Planning to buy an SL55

    Hi all, I'm currently running a W205 C63 with an MSL stage 1 map on it (genius handheld) as my daily, and I love it. I've had it for 2 and a half years, and I really can't imagine changing it, however, I'm starting to get an itch. I've always had a second car, first a Ferrari 348 and more...

    Central screen not working - W205 c63

    Hi all, The central screen on my W205 (2016) C63 has given up the ghost this morning and won't come on at all. I've tried the power button, have locked and unlocked the car, pressed all of the function buttons and the volume button with no luck. Is there a common fault on these, I've had the...

    W205 C63 Cupholder cover won't stay closed

    Hi all I've had a mask stored in the cupholder area in my W205 C63. It got stuck on something at the weekend and when I got it free, this part fell out and now the lid won't stay shut. I suspect that this is the longest of long shots, but has anyone got a diagram of the parts in question so I...

    Auxiliary battery malfunction

    Hi, I've got the above warning showing in my '16 plate C63. When I started the car this morning, the warning was in red, but after driving for a short while it went to white. Oddly, the stop start function is working fine and the car is running perfectly. Does the warning appear if the Aux...

    W205 C63 - M0 or not M0...?

    Hi All, I recently had my car serviced at my local MB dealership and (what a surprise) I need new rear tyres. They offered me non M0 tyres which would have been different to the fronts which still have reasonable tread, so I declined, thinking I would be able to find replacements online...

    Overheating?? W205 C63

    Morning all, While driving on Saturday, I noticed that the temperature of the transmission oil hit 102 degrees. The red line looks to be around 130 degrees but this seems high - is this anything to be concerned about? The water temperature always looks high (3 bars from the end) but I've heard...

    service plans - worth the money?

    Hi all, I've just been quoted £46 a month for a service plan for my 2016 C63. I've had a look on the Mercedes site and it suggests that this covers everything - parts and labour, but somewhere else I read that it was only service parts. What do people on here think about the value of service...

    Looking to buy a W205 C63 - advice needed

    Hi all, I currently have a BMW M135 as my daily drive and a Porsche 997 Turbo as a weekend car. The BMW has been great, given that until recently I've done a relatively high mileage and it offered fun at a reasonable cost. My circumstances have changed and I no longer need a practical daily...
