    W209 - 2005 CLK seats

    Quick question for the more knowledgeable on the forum. Was there an option for an extended thigh support bolster on the W209 seats? Thanks in advance.

    PCS in Milton Keynes - Gone!

    I started a fred on this over in "Parts, Maintenance & Servicing" but have scrolled down now and worked out that this is the proper place for one :doh: Tried to get through to PCS in Milton Keynes to arrange a service but they didn't answer the phone. Further investigation reveals that they...

    Newbie returning - E500 update

    Hi CP, bear in mind that I only swapped W211 for W212 last Wednesday and the mileage since hasn't been that great, but it has been a good mixture of terrain. Initial observations and comparisons: The W212 E500 just feels like a much more modern car all around. My W211 was Nov '04 and had...

    Newbie returning - E500 update

    Returning to the forum after an almost embarrassing absence :o However, returning with news that my much loved and well traveled W211 E500 has just been replaced, or should that be reincarnated, as a W212 E500 First impressions after a weekend of country roads, motorway into London, drive...

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    Perhaps they are trying to lure Amir Khan out of his BMW:

    The Big Spring Clean

    Nice job – looks great. As for the repainting of the screws for the number plate – I did this on my number plate when my wife purchased a personal reg for my birthday (Letter of birth month, 2 digits year my year of birth and three digits my initials) I painted the somewhat rusty old screws...

    The "air suspension " con

    18 months or so into ownership of an E500 equipped with AirMatic and 17 inch wheels with 245/45 (which was the standard I think) I love it. I agree with some of the other posts and would not want to have bigger wheels – I’m quite happy to keep it as MB intended and if I wanted a firmer bumpier...

    Retro fitting Isofix - W211

    Went to purchase a new car seat for the growing offspring at the weekend and was a bit surprised to discover that my 2005 W211 E500 does not have Isofix anchor points behind the rear seats. The old “baby seat” was purchased when I still had the CLK320 (W202) and that did not have Isofix...

    Bristol cars in administration...

    It's sad news indeed. Me too on the "if I win the lottery" - specifically and Bristol Fighter - looks good and goes like stink. Would be great fun to get one on an autobahn just to get the locals wondering "what was that?" As for Morgan now being the biggest British car maker... I think...

    Steering wheel not centred

    Jaymanek - thanks for that. Interestingly, the people recommended (STS Alignment) in Bedford, are listed on that site.

    Steering wheel not centred

    That's a new one. Saga update: The local garage/tyre shop will not be getting the chance to discon the battery and go lock to lock 3 times... They called after lunch and invited me in to test the car. By their own admission, it's not 100% but they have certainly got it straighter than it...

    Steering wheel not centred

    Thanks for the advice guys - I took it back to them and they worked on it, suggesting that the tracking was fine but that a sensor was making the steering think that it needed to correct itself, hence the wheel not centring. So, they had a fiddle about for an hour or so and played with some...

    Steering wheel not centred

    Happy New Year everyone! After many months of happy motoring in my E500 (W211) it came time to change the tyres. I had already had to change the passenger front side tyre a towards the end of last year so I made sure that I tracked down and matched that tyre with 3 new ones. (Dunlop Sportmax...
