    Steering problem

    I seem to have a problem with the steering in my CLK in that sometimes when doing a 3-point turn etc, the steering "locks up" for a second, mid turn, before behaving normally. There also seems to be about an inch of play in the steering wheel either way before the wheels actually turn...

    CLK parts

    Just a quick question... Are CLK parts exclusively for the CLK, or are they on other Mercs aswell? It seems that the W208 headlights are the same as on the E-class? If i was to buy some xenons off the E-class in question, will they fit the CLK? Also what is the model code for the...

    Instrument cluster failure?

    The gear display and clock in my 2000 clk230k seems to have sections missing which means it is unreadable, like the pixels arent working. Is there anything i can do to fix this problem? I think something is loose or has a bad connection as i can give the display a whack and it will be fine...

    W208 Clk A/c

    My car doesnt have digital climate control, but under the bonnet has what seems to be an air box labelled as the air conditioner or something to that effect. Does this mean i have ac? Shouldnt there be a button on the dash or does it just come on when cold air is selected? Cheers
