A few observations so far: You sit high! Really high! Compared with the CLK it is really noticeable, almost like I was trying to drive it by sitting on its roof. Even compared with the Touran we have, it has a very lofty perch. It takes a little getting used to at first, I have to say but is...

Used my roof for the first time in a couple of months. Went down fine, wouldn't go back up. Took it into Mercedes-Benz of Edinburgh and despite a full workshop they got one of their guys onto it immediately. He diagnosed a sticky switch, lubricated and tested it. Problem solved in half an hour...

I'd like to know what the perceived collective wisdom of the forum is regarding COMAND on the ML. I am not disputing that there are probably better / less expensive / other SAT NAV etc systems out there, but that is not my question.... My first S-Class didn't have COMAND and when I came to...

I may be considering selling / trading in my CLK. It's an 03/53 in silver with black interior and hood. COMAND, phone kit, parktronic are the additional options. I am the second owner from new and it now has 55k miles on the clock. It has a full Merc service history, with 5,000 miles to go to...

ML420CDi - anyone got one? CLK55 AMG Cab may be going... Hi, I'm at a bit of a decision point....I love my CLK55 AMG Cabriolet, but it may need to be changed for a 4x4. Before anyone asks, yes I do live in the middle of the countryside and would actually find a use off-road :rolleyes...

Missus went out in my car this afternoon (we'd already been into Edinburgh for the day) with one of her friends and our respective kids. She phoned me at 17:15 to ask me what she needed to do to unlock the car! I made a few obvious suggestions and when that still wasn't working, jumped into her...

Anyone know whether tyre pressure warning was an option on my 03/53 CLK55 AMG and if so, who can retrofit this otion?

Near to my house, we have a split road junction. The main A-road is split by a B-road and is a bit of an accident black spot. It used to be a straight crossroads but there were that many accidents that the local council decided to "split" the A-road so that it bends away to the right on one side...

Picked this up on Friday - not my photos but the ones from the original sales ad. The engine is simply stunning - makes me want to go and drive just for the sound it makes...

Drove home to Scotland from Manchester in some awful weather but that loud pedal is going to get me in serious trouble if I keep pressing it just to hear the noise it makes :D

Well, the Z3M Coupe has been fun but is going....the wife doesn't like the car either asthetically or to drive. So, after much deliberation and hours on the internet looking at a whole host of options from SL to CL to SLK to 645Ci to 545i to XKR (you get the picture), I've done a deal on a W209...

Video footage from autoexpress of the CLK63 AMG Black Series - what a wonderful sound... http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/autoexpresstv/spyshotvideos/203173/mercedes_clk_63_amg_black_series.html

Ok, long shot but here goes.... Early new shape cars appear to have dropped down into a bracket where some good leasing deals might be had...so I am starting to consider them. Apart from the obvious "Full MB Service History" are there any known weaknesses with the early ones?

Seen it on one other Merc on autotrader before - think I like the contrast. Anyone seen it in the flesh? What type of wood is it?

I'm toying with the idea of trading my Z3M Coupe for a CL500. I know they are very different cars etc - some of you may remember that I have been through a number of Mercs over the past six years or so. One that I've not had the pleasure of owning is a CL. I know a new model is out in the new...

For a number of reasons, I may need to consider selling my CLK. Initially, I am putting this on here to guage whether there is any interest in the car before I get pushed into advertising it seriously on Autotrader. From the original letter to the dealers, Final Edition Spec is as follows...

I've found what looks like a mini-headphone jack inside my glovebox. Don't know whether it is some after-market fitment or came with the car. No reference to it anywhere in the owner's manuals. Any ideas? Anyone know what an iPod connection looks like?

With thanks to DC Insider, here is the transcript of the original Dealer Bulletin advising as to how the A208 CLK Cabriolet Final Edition model differed from the standard model. I'm posting this as it is information that I tried to find all over the web and was unsuccesful, so I thought that...

Not the greatest of shots, but as the road to my house is being used as an access road to the Steading that is being converted below us, it is constantly muddy. Believe it or not, these photos were taken after a single trip from the main road to my house with the car having just been cleaned...

Well, the manufacturer's warranty expires in mid-January, so I am thinking of dipping my toes into some aftermarket performance upgrades. AMG / Brabus / Kleeman are the obvious choices - any others I should be considering? I'm not interested in bodykits etc, I'd rather have subtle performance...
