This has already been mentioned on a 'replace your thermostat' thread but I thought I'd share it here... On Saturday I went to my local dealer for a fuel pipe for my W203 C270, and was given the little card reader to put my Visa card in the slot and key my PIN number in. I have the slip in...

Driving through a far too long 50 limit on the M62 with average speed cameras today (no work going on of course) I always use the speed limiter, its amazing how many pass you at an exact 50mph. At LAST it finished, so I pushed the stalk to turn off the limiter and booted it.... Maybe a bit too...

2006 c320Cdi, runs fine, no issues, but it seems reluctant to start from cold. I wait for the heater plug light to go out, then crank away until it starts to pick up, then more waiting for all 6 cylinders to chime in. It hasn't let me down yet, but either I'm doing something wrong (no...

This is growing on me - I thought a diesel would be quite pedestrian after a CL500, but its quite the rocketship on the sly, at an mpg I can actually afford! 7 speed, 17" alloys, with all the toys like Comand, climate control, xneons etc. The bonnet was badly stone chipped, so the dealer...

I know there are many threads, but I want to make sure i get the right phone before I spend money. I have never used hands free, I still pull over and answer my mobile, honest officer. My 2006 C320cdi has Comand APS, an MB cradle in the armrest, a sharks fin aerial, a mike for handsfree and...

I was a bit miffed when I got my 2006 C220cdi home, I realised there were no Parktronic displays fitted, like the ones that were in my CL and in the C Class manual provided. when bought it the ad said it had 'Parking Aid' (note not Parktronic). After the test drive I remarked to the lad who...

I just bought a 2006 W203 C320cdi Avantgarde SE. Above the dash display showing what gear I'm in and the time, is the speed, in kph. Using the menus I can toggle the other displays between kph and mph, but not this one. How do I get it to display Mph? The time is set on Comand APS (it...

I have a private plate on my W215, which I am looking to part ex for a W220 S320 diesel (sick of having to save up for long journeys / take the wife's Skoda diesel). Sod all to the gallon is fine when 'm working from home, but tiresome otherwise. When I bought my car, the rapacious insurance...

Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | World News :: Huge solar flare threatens chaos Of course its not at like like the Daily Excess to predict that we're all doomed, but if anything at all is affected, I don't expect my CL500 to work properly, having just thrown money at it...

My CL500 (MY2000) had a flat battery while camped at Silverstone for the MotoGP last weekend (like an idiot I sat for ages watching TV for the first time - it doesn't work where I live), and as the AA weren't likely to want to drive against all the traffic and come and find me, I had no option...

I posted about this in the electrics section, but it really should be under bodywork, as the electrics in my parktronic are fine. However one of its 'eyes' has been pushed in, and Ive no idea how to remove the strip (front) that they are pushed into. I'm sure its not rocket science, but I...

One of my Cl's eyes has been poked out! I found while I was washing the car that one of the front parkronic sensors has been pushed back and is loose on its hole. Slow corners give me red lights and a loud squawk as the parkatronic kicks in a low speed, and the sensor drifts behind the...

Not a problem as such, as I can't see me ever going over 130mph, but that's as far as the speedo lights up under normal driving, ie the 130 to 160 bit stays unlit. Nothing wrong with the display as such - with the ignition off, but the car unlocked, it all lights up. If I use the speed...

The paint on my 2000 W215 is in very good nick, but around the bumper and the mirrors there are a couple of patches where the clearcoat lacquerhas been damaged and peeled off. Short of throwing a load of money at it in a bodyshop, can anyone recommend a clearcoat spray that is compatable, or...

Did AMG ever do a body kit for the CL500, if so where can I find out what it looked like? The reason I ask is that there's one on eBay at the moment, which looks identical to mine, being sold as having 'AMG styling'. A friend of mine may be interested (I was looking for a CL for him when I...

My W215 is pestering me for an 'A' service soon. I don't want to argue with it, as the 'A' service is much cheaper, but according to the service history, the last service, 13k miles and 16 months ago , was an 'A' too, and all the previous services have alternated A,B,A,B etc. Did the garage...

Not suprisingly, my Merc came 2nd hand with no Comand disk, no manuals and the toolkit with the spare wheel well and truly plundered. They did leave the wheelbrace, jack, air in the tyres and key for the locking wheelnuts however. I also have a collection of 6 Indian music CDs and CDRs that were...

After waiting an age for the dealer who sold me my car to send me the satnav disk, surprise! it's the wrong one. I am so not suprised, but I will try and get them to sort it. However, as I found out with the CD stacker, once they have your hard earned, they don't want much to do with you...

I did a search for steering wheels for the CL500, as I liked the wood/leather option, but my car doesnt have it. Nothing in the UK yet (looking for a used one)but there are new wheels from the US for $600, which is too much for me ATM, having spent my loot on Group 20 insurance and a...

I went for my first decent run in the CL500 this weekend, across the country to darkest East Yorkshire. Amused to see the trip computer range increasing on the motorway, I saw that earlier this year when I went to Goodwood with a friend in his 7 series Beemer, its as if you are making fuel...
