And MB want to charge me £69 to change the engine air filter. If I change the filter myself, how do I stand with maintenance of the service record? And will it affect Mobilo and so on?

Folks, When I accepted my present job, it ticked all the boxes and I thought would make me happy. Within two days, I knew the job was wrong (for reasons I won't go into) but I have stuck it out because of the crunch and frankly fear that I won't find as good a job again, being as the big 50...

Just saw these on the bay :doh: Are they functional or pure decoration for chav-mobiles?

Hi All, Have a colleague who is having some problems feeding her unit the navigation disks (Europe 1 or Europe 2) Any clues as to why the unit won't draw in a disk? Ta!

Hi Everyone, Looking for advice about the procedure to remove the front carpet from a W209 CLK. Any clues how to manage this without wrecking trim and or the carpet? Ta!

Does anyone know where I can buy the tools needed to separate connector pins from connector bodies? I needed a tool shaped like a pin (ooerrrr) to release the contacts from the seat heater pad connector, but ended up working around the issue. So, next time I want to be properly armed :D

I don't give a poop about roadholding, tread life or whatever but I won't buy remoulds or part worn. Which of these brands is likely to take longest to find a ditch?

If one were dumb enough to remove the passenger seat without disconnecting the battery.... How best would one avoid the dreaded SRS error? Ta!

The Beast of Basildon? :devil:

Now, of late, wheezy (M271 Engine) has been reporting a cylinder temperature of around 70C instead of her usual 80C or so. Reading up on here, it looks like ambient temperature is the likely problem, but what other faults are possible causes? I hasten to add that the engine runs fine and...

I bought a complete leather interior (with seat heat) from the lock-up of a very nice gentleman :D Oh and it came with the seat heat loom and upper control block :bannana: Just got to get round to installing it now....

SilverSaloon! Best wishes for your special day, may you enjoy much white rum and tobacco :D

What do I need to do to make the wheels fit properly and securely on my CLK? Do I need to worry about shorter / longer bolts... Will they sit more proud?

Tyres give a performance / wear premium that makes spending another £60 a corner worthwhile? I can buy Falken 452 for say, £91 fitted. The same guy will fit Michelin PS2 for £150 a corner. Given that I don't speed, but like to corner enthusiastically, is the Michelin going to perform that...

Righty, How can I get the parts chappy at my dealer to find a part that wasn't fitted to my car during build? To explain... I want to buy an Upper Control Panel for my W209 that contains in addition to the normal switches, the blocks for seat heat. Unfortunately, he is having trouble...

I will have been a Mercedes-Benz owner for own whole year. While, according to webuyanycar or platinum/glasses I have not lost money on my trusty steed, I shudder to think how much I have spent modifying it :D and I surely will not tell in forum for fear that me woman checks out these pages....

As per the title really. Are there statistics anywhere that supports the mandatory installation of rear fog lamps? I'm pretty sure that they have been a waste of effort! More of a nuisance on the road rather than a safety aid...

Thinking in particular about the ones in W209 CLK cars. But is it normal for the body of the head rest to be able to slide backwards and forwards? Lets say I set my cushion forward, if I rest my fat head against it, it slides back to the main body of the head rest unit. Surely there is...

Just canvassing your opinions... :) Because I am in two minds about replacement wheels and my existing wheels could do with some TLC, I was wondering how the collective felt about custom paint jobs on OEM wheels. What I am considering is say, painting an OEM wheel gunmetal or... some dual...

I saw a white... CLS driving home last night. Unusual to see a white CLS, but there you go. Oh and it had a red racing stripe from fore to aft slap in the middle of the car, looked like someone went mad with masking tape :rolleyes:
