Hi all, I've had my W208 CLK320 for four months now. It's a lovely car and I've already spent £1400 on a gearbox service, full service, MAF and Crankshaft sensors, fog light lens etc etc at a local MB specialist. Trouble is, is the suspension has bottomed out a couple of times recently...

So, back into MB ownership once more and back on the forum! :thumb: Just bought myself a lovely CLK320 although it is an x reg 2000 with a few rust bubbles poking through. It has full MBSH, no gaps - I might and try and get them to fix it for free... Wish me luck! What do you think...

I've decided to start a buffet company and have bought a van so the 500SE has to go I'm afraid, :( The car is taxed until the end of the month and has done 131,000 miles. It drives great and the cream leather is in great condition. There's some wear in the drivers side upper part of the seat...

Hi All, I've got a problem on my W126. I've just had the bearing changed on the front left wheel and since I got it back from the garage, the ABS keeps activating at slow speeds. Just as I come to a complete stop, it turns on and makes the (drrrrrrr) noise and shakes the pedal. It's...

So..after visiting Olly this week, he reckons my tappety noise from the engine is, in fact caused by worn camshafts. :( I'm looking at around £1500 to redo that which is out of my price range totally. So I was chatting to my dad about it and we both quite fancy having a go at doing it...

Hi all, What do you think of this? 1989 MERCEDES 500 SE AUTO BLACK on eBay (end time 03-Nov-09 15:11:22 GMT) It's going in less than an hour so I thought it could be worth a bid - what do you reckon guys? Ta :dk:

Hi Guys, I'm going to look at an 1994 E280 tomorrow and I wondered what I need to look out for? Any recurring probs or anything like that? Any help would be greatly appreciated as ever! Thanks guys! J:thumb:

Hi guys, I don't have any pics but I went to see an 87 W124 230E for sale today. It's white and has only done 90,000 miles. There's no rust on it anywhere and it doesn't look like it's been resprayed. Bad points: Car wasn't running when I arrived and although the interior was filthy, it...

Hi Guys, It's MOT time again and yet another car has failed with flying colours. I knew it would but I need another now and quickly. I'm looking for any old Merc with a decent time left on the MOT so get in contact/PM me if you've got one or know of one! :thumb: I live in Fleet...

Hi Guys, I'm going to sell my 300 CE as it's just failed an MOT and I can't afford to fix it to be honest. It has the following list of problems that need doing for the MOT so if you fancy a project, or you need it for spares just shout. It's got the AMG Alloys which are in great...

Hi Guys, After being completely stitched up on my last merc buy - I thought I'd enquire through some of you lovely people to see if I can find a decent, well looked after car! My 300CE has just failed it's MOT with flying colours and will cost approx £1200 to put right...great! With...

:eek: Went into the boot this morning and it's wet....god damn it.. Is there a standard place where an 89 300CE will leak from? The boot rubbers seem fine. The back window is delaminated slightly and one of the rear headrests is looking rust which would lead me to think it's coming from...

So I took the car for a test drive last night after fitting new HT leads, plugs and air filter and I was really chuffed with the results...brilliant... While I was messing around in the car doing all this, I saw that a little black plug under the rear seat (passenger side) was disconnected so...

Hi all, I want to replace the rear speakers in my CE300 as they are blown. I want to buy a good pair that will fit in the original holes. Does anyone know the right size to buy? Or even the best speaker of choice? Also, I've found a guy in the US that sells doorcards with speaker...

Hi All, Broke down again this weekend and had to call out RAC again. After removing the back seats, door trim and loads of other interior parts, the idiot phoned the support team who told him that my problem was due to the relay. Trouble is, the last RAC guy said it was a different one last...

I've got an alarm on another car which I'd like to fit to the 300CE. Has anyone done this before and is it easy? It controls the central locking on the other car which is all I want it to do on merc... Is it something I could have a crack at myself - or best left to the pros and does it have...

This must be a question that has been asked before so sorry if it is, but does anyone have a link to fixing an electric window on a 300CE Coupe? The window moves up and down but tilts forward as it gets 2/3 inches from the top, then stops. Also, the window rubber on the outside came out...
