Just following up on this for anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future.... The switch I identified in my original post is indeed the Bow Ram Limit Switch which seems to be a fairly common failure point. This is identified in the WIS as S85/15. And should you wish to order a brand...

Hi everyone, and happy new year! A few days ago I decided to test the convertible roof on my CLK as I haven't used it for a while. Sure enough it went down fine, but on the way back up it stops at the point where the metal cover should close. Searching on this forum it sounds like my 'bow...

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have the exact same problem/symptoms as Johnson originally posted. I brought down the roof on my CLK a few days ago just to test it was all still fine after the heavy winds. It came down no problem, but on the way back up it gets stuck at the point where...

Could anybody identify the part number for the W208 320 CLK rear Brake Heat Shields? Pictured here (image taken from A1EK, hope he doesn't mind!): I will be replacing all of the brakes shortly and noticed these are all bent up and rusted through so wanted to replace. How easy of a job...

It has many more uses than just as a DVD player or TV. It will replace the outdated COMAND sat nav system, have bluetooth connectivity as a handsfree system, and be able to store all of my music on the hard drive. A tablet or small laptop can do all of these things as well, but the issue is how...

Hi Guys, Has anybody on this forum installed, or ever dabbled with a car PC? I've got most of the gear ready to go in, just missing the screen and a few cables. The only bit that's got me stuck is working out how I can keep the Volume control functionality on my steering wheel. I...

Hi there, Can anybody advise me on how to remove the plastic trim which the front head rests slide into on the seats? I'm changing the colour of my interior and it's much easier to remove trim like this than try and mask it. I can't see any screws, so I imagine it's a case of pulling it...

I've never heard of the Designo option. Can somebody school me on it? What kind of additional options were available? I love the Tan leather, definitely my favourite colour interior. I always thought it was ridiculous that the W208 only seemed to come in Grey, Black or Grey/Blue two-tone. Not a...

MERCEDES CLK 320 CONVERTABLE 52 PLATE | eBay Not particularly good value for money, and a pretty crappy advert. But what drew me in was what appears to be Tan leather seats! I've never seen Tan leather on a W208 CLK before, was it an option? Or has somebody dyed these themselves? Looks nice...

Approx £500!? Ouch! I'm assuming I wouldn't be able to use the forum 25% discount on these either? Thanks for the pics Lee, sorry to hear about your bad experience! That is quite worrying about hitting the exhaust. I have 16" wheels going on, which should hopefully mean I'm in less danger of...

Fantastic! And I assume it's pretty much the same for the convertible kit? Could you give me a price for the 40749-1 kit? I had a look on eurocarparts website but it's not listed yet. I didn't even realise you guys sold aftermarket parts.

Wow, thanks for the info! It's the Comfort Kit I'm interested in. Interesting though that the only differentiation other than the amount of drop is between hard-top and convertible. The way these kits are advertised elsewhere I was under assumption there were also different kits depending on...

Hoping somebody might be able to offer some advice here... I currently own a facelift W208 CLK 230K, which from searching this forum I'm led to believe weighs about 1345Kg. Once Summer has come to an end and the weather starts getting cold again, I'm hoping to buy a facelift W208 CLK 320...

Thanks for the advice Andy. I removed the panel with the 3 plastic nuts you mentioned and inspected the underside of the panel, I'm relieved to say there was so no evidence of oil or water damage! The box is encased in plastic so the story could be different underneath that, I guess I'll have...

Hi guys, So I suffered from the fairly common issue of having the rainwater drain by the windscreen block up, overflow, and absolutely waterlog my front AND rear passenger side carpets. Joy! I've managed to unblock it today so hopefully that shouldn't happen again which is good! I'm...

I know. I know. I probably won't use it either. But for all we know, the zombie apocalypse or similar disaster is just around the corner, and being prepared with a first aid kit in my car will help me sleep better at night.

For the first time since buying the car a few months ago, I decided to check the First Aid Kit only to find it wasn't there :doh:. Can anybody tell me which, if any, other Mercedes models came with the same shape First Aid Kit as my CLK? That way it should be easier/cheaper to source a...

Thanks for the reply Balge. I sourced a second hand OVP relay from ThreePointedParts, it unfortunately didn't cure the problem. It felt as if the ABS light was off more of the time than before I replaced the relay, but still temperamental either way. Can't say I didn't try! A guy took the car...

Well I had a go at re-soldering the OVP, provided I did infact re-solder the correct relay. It's made no difference. But for some reason I'm still not 100% convinced this isn't where the problem lies. The circuit board didn't look in great shape. I'm going to try and find one from a breaker, I...

Hi guys, First of all my apologies for posting up yet another thread about this, I know there's quite a few of them because I've been reading through plenty trying to solve my problem. I've got an intermittent fault with the ABS light coming on, been this way for almost 2 years now but...
