    W208 Front Fog Lights

    Starting to think it's time I off-load this one as it's a new issue every other week it would seem! Got the bulb failure warning in the instrument panel for front fogs. Went out and bought Bosch replacement bulbs x2 and installed. Warning still present and fogs don't illuminate. Checked...

    W208 Cruise Control Cuts Out at 76ish?

    Been working fine until recently. Can engage cruise and it'll work fine at speeds below 76'ish mph. Above that it'll randomly cut-out, sometimes secs after engaging, on others it might last a min or two. I've looked at all the other posts, running approved rims and tyres which haven't...

    W208 - Ext Temperature Display Incorrect

    Just noticed the outside temp display on my '99 W208 is reading 50 degrees. Now it's nice out but it isn't that nice! Can anyone tell me where the sender is located for this?

    W208 Hot Start Issues

    W208 CLK320, recently started having a start problem when hot. First appeared after a long run from Wales, stopped at the 7-11 for supplies near home and when I tried to fire her up she cranked a few times then stopped. Repeated attempts followed the same pattern, cranks a few times then...

    W208 CLK 320 Tyre Advice

    The time has come once again for new boots! At the moment through circumstance rather than choice I have a cross axle front to rear mix of Avon and Conti (one Conti F NS, one Rear OS) as I picked up two punctures and those were the only ones the nearest tyre fitter had in stock. The car has...

    W208 Convertible - Roof Balance Cable

    The roof on my W208 doesn't retract unless I 'hold up' the front portion so that it can bend. And when closing it now bangs against the header rail rather than holding off a few cm's. I looked under the internal lining and found a steel cable adrift, the cable has parted company with the...

    Recommend an Independent, Surrey/Hants border?

    My 99 CLK320 is well overdue for a service and needs a replacement steering damper, a squeak from the steering and an auto box that is reluctant to change up some times looking at. Can anyone recommend an Indie near me (Fleet, Hampshire) that they can recommend? TIA

    W208 Digital Dash Panel Illumination

    The illumination of the right side of the digital dash info panel on my 1999 CLK 320 appears to have failed. I can still read the information but it is no illuminated. This is affecting only the right third of the dash. Is there a bulb I need to replace or is this not repairable. I've had...

    W208 Steering Damper replacement

    On my recent MoT one of the points worthy of mention was the steering damper which is rubbing. I am getting a squeak/squeal when turning the wheel, not too loud but as the fluid levels are OK and the belt doesn't appear to be slipping I'm guessing the damper may be the cause? Can anyone...

    MoT Fail - Rear Disc and Front Brake Pipe - Need advice!

    My '99 CLK 320 failed her MoT today. Rear offside disc pitted and front offside brake pipe twisted and stretched. I'm not totally inept with all things mechanical but how big a job is it to change the discs and the brake pipe, is it something I should be able to achieve myself or best left...

    W208 Convertible Question

    Possibly stupid question but here goes! In the space where the roof folds are two elasticated fabric panels. On mine they're just lying on the floor and not attached to anything although they have loops at each end which suggest they should be. The thing is I can't for the life of me fathom...
