Just wanted to give a recommendation for MB Automotive in Loughborough. The SL is just back from its annual service & MOT (which it sailed through!). They fixed the common fault with the webbing coming adrift from the electric wind deflector - and didn't charge me for it! Entirely reasonable...

Hi, Recently had stone strike which tore a hole in the front grille on the R231 SL350 (could've been much worse, I guess), so I need to get it replaced. I've looked on eBay, but can only find the Panamericana-style grilles, which I'm not sure I want (especially as they seem to need mesh...

Having just moved from Surrey, and used MB of Medway for years, we're now in Chellaston, Derby, so I'm looking for an equally great Indy for the SL350, please. All the threads I've read are really old, so would be good to get some current recommendations. TIA.

Hi All, After a little over 2 years, it's time for me to move on from the 2013 R172 SLK 250 CDI, which I've absolutely loved owning. It had Airscarf & Parktronic, but I'll never understand why the original owner didn't specify the Mirror pack (your eyes are at everyone else's headlight level)...

Hi All, My new iPhone XS and the Audio 20 in my 2013 SLK are resolutely refusing to see each other. The phone has paired easily with my partner's Qashqai. I've reset the BT on the Audio 20, but nothing doing... Any ideas? TIA, Adam.

All, Just wanted to post a warning about an Ebay Shop called SatNavDirect. I recently purchased what was advertised as a genuine Becker Map Pilot with latest maps to go in my SLK. It was fine when I received it, but I plugged it into my PC, using the Becker Content Manager software, to...

Due to my company's car policy, sadly the CLS has to go, as it's too old. I'm replacing it with an SLK 250 CDI. Did go to look at a 350, but it was in a real state, so walked away. The 250 will be plenty for now (although may get a remap at some point), and much better than the CLS now my...

Brabus has built a 641bhp Mercedes-AMG C63 S | Top Gear WANT!!! :bannana:

Probably a stupid question, but what does an EGR delete do? If I get a remap, is it something that can be done at the same time? Is it just a software change? Any downsides? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it possible to get speed cameras (with warnings, ideally) onto NTG2.5? I've got a PocketGPSWorld subscription, so would be good to still be able to use them now that I don't need the Garmin any more... Thanks, Adam. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking about my CLS G-E, and despite all the things I love about it, like the smooth, wafty drive, the effortless torque, and all the toys, the best thing about a W219 in Obsidian Black seems to be the sheer road presence that makes other cars get out of the way on the Motorway, without...

Hi All, 2009 W219 CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition, so Brabus D6 already fitted & 272bhp. Question is, do I go for a remap, and if so, which one and who from? Been looking at the Celtic Tuning Stage 1 Map (+35bhp & +80lb/ft), but I'm in two minds over whether a mobile service is the way to go...

Hi All, I've searched the forums, and been unable to find a definitive answer to what size, format and type of SD cards are compatible with NTG 2.5, with the latest (09/29) firmware... :wallbash: I gather this firmware allows "larger than 2gb", which implies FAT32 is an acceptable format...

Hi, Is it possible to make COMAND NTG2.5 Region Free so it will play US DVDs? Thanks, Adam. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, I've got a CLS 350CDI Grand Edition with the Brabus D6 chip. I'm not looking to remove the speed limiter (don't even know if it's possible), but I'm curious as to what the theoretical top speed would be if the limiter was removed... Anyone got any idea? Cheers, Adam. Sent from my...

Guys, Just picked up a 2009 W219 CLS 350 Grand Edition. It has NTG 2.5. I've just trained the Linguatronic, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to activate it, as the car doesn't have the column stalk, or activation buttons on the steering wheel! How do I use Linguatronic...

Hi All, Just picked up my new toy - 2009 CLS 350 CDI Grand Edition. Obsidian Black with black interior. 51,000 on the clock. Was delighted to find it had DAB & UCI fitted (Dealer didn't realise!). Got a cracking deal & was happy with the trade in on my 2006 CLK 220 CDI. I'm in love...

Hi all, I'm picking up my CLK 220 CDi in 3-4 weeks & will be getting an Angel Tuning remap. Anybody in Kent, or surrounds, want to get a remap at the same time, to bring the price down to £200 each? Let me know! Thanks, AJ.

Hi All, Quick question, please. I'm about to take delivery of a 2006 CLK 220 CDi, which has a single disc CD/radio, with phone prep & Bluetooth. It's the unit with the shiny fascia (sorry - no idea what model it is!). Can someone please point me at the specs for this unit, please? Also...
