    C class Coupe

    I'm looking at buying a 12 plate C250 CDi Coupe, 73k miles. I've asked about ATF & filter change. Is there anything else substantial in terms of servicing or known problems I should consider?

    C/e 220/250?

    Another fishing for advice request.... I'm interested in either a C or E class, 2012 on with either 220 or 250 Cdi. I know there are plenty of people who would advice going for a bigger engine, but the facts are that the 4 cylinder running costs suit best. C class is big enough, but I...

    Have I drowned it?

    W209 CLK 270CDi.. ok...so I drove through a bit of a flood that was deeper than I thought and ground to a halt. Eventually it restarted and I drove away, seemingly ok. I fully understand how an engine can be killed by ingesting water. Yesterday and this morning I thought it was slightly rough...

    Sava Tyres

    I need to replace the Khumos on the rear of my W209 CLK 270CDi. Have been pleased with the Ku's, had Toyos previously, which were fine too. To be honest I can't really appreciate the difference. I'm not sure of the mileage on the Khumos as I had winter tyres on last winter. Has anybody run...

    Doh! Where do I put the skis

    Ok, ferry, insurance etc all booked, but just discovered my W209 CLK Coupe doesn't have a ski bag fitted! Does anyone know where I can get a ski bag, or anyone have any secondhand used bars/racks available? 1 further question...the small bolts (?) used to hold the panel in place behind the...

    Kumhos

    There have been various threads on winter tyres recently, but the job of finding & deciding seems not to be as easy as it could. On summer tyres there were many good reports on Kumhos with the KU31 being regarded as better than some of the other variants. I am running on these and quite happy...

    Mad auto wipers

    I really don't like the auto wipers on my W209. Generally they run one notch higher than I want. ie if I am on single speed and want intermittent they will often stay single - sometimes actually increase to double speed. Somebody earlier suggested cleaning the windscreen and checking wiper...

    Scroll pad stopped working

    Last night I removed Norton 360 which was up for renewal and replaced it with AVG Internet Security (free trial). All seems ok, except that the 2 fingers scrolling function on the scroll pad has stopped working. I feel sure there is a way of turning this back on, but cannot find it. Any...

    Taming my autowipers

    Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of autowipers (W209)? This car is the first time I've such a device and its a bit of a pain. I get constant slow speed when it should be intermittent, fast when it should be slow etc. At the moment I have to choose between manual operation for...

Narrow road with a van coming at me - no problem, but some idiot in a car behind was out on my side and walloped the mirror.

    Would this work?

    I've just got the W209 CLK which is wired for a phone. I can't seem to find a cradle for my phone (Samsung SGH 250). If I buy this.. Mercedes Benz Phone cradle on eBay (end time 03-Jun-10 20:59:04 BST) could I simply put my sim card (PAYG) in the phone and use that? I'm glad there are...

    First pictures CLK

    ...but not very good ones yet. Will have to wait till I can clean it first! Very pleased with it, although just discovered one tyre has got a screw in it and all local tyre places are closed. I've searched forums for tyre choice - naturally there's plenty of opinion, so will go for Kumho KU31...

    In Car Phone advice

    Just picked up W209 CLK. I've never used a hands free phone before, but as the car is pre-wired I would like to get it sorted. I have a Samsung SGH E250. Can anybody advise on source for a suitable cradle? Is there a blue tooth option?

    CLK -How much rust do you have?

    Having failed to find a sure method of determining whether or not a potential CLK would have been galvanised, I thought it would be interesting to hear from people with CLK of various ages (208 and 209) on the rust sitution. Is you car like new? Just showing some signs? Badly rusted? or have...

    Galvanised or not?

    I have read various articles on the dates from which various models were galvanised. The problem is being sure for cars 53 - 04 - 54 (possibly) I am thinking of W209 CLK270. Would a facelift model be sure to be a galvanised one? Any reports of rust on this age of car? Thanks Michael
