    Advice re buying a W208 CLK & Rust

    w208 rust My clk 320 has rust. Everyone I see has rust. Wheel arches, boot lock, also check bottom of doors and front panel at top line of bumper. I had MB "fix" rust on wheel arches two years ago and it is back. I do not think there are any/many mints out there. I would prefer the...

    Rejection from MB Milton Keynes for Rust Order

    Some consolation If this helps, I had my rust on all wheel arches repaired as a goodwill gesture 2 years ago and the rust is now back. 2 years later with independant garages in the log book, I can not be bothered to try and fight my case again.

    Hair in my W124 exhaust?

    I had a similar problem and replaced the section of exhaust only then to have the same problem with the new exhaust some months later. In my case petrol was entering the exhaust and causing the padding to degrade. Check fuel mixture. Note - this problem was not on a merc but assume the same.

    Should I take the fixed penalty

    Thanks I have read all the posts - Thanks, I needed to hear the advice. Traffic cops could never have seen the red light or stop sign and had no my knowledge had no video equipment. I suppose if I am totally honest it was probably red when I was in the junction but I can say that...

    Should I take the fixed penalty

    This morning I went through a red? amber? light at a junction. Traffic cops were the second car at the junction wating for the green light so they could turn right. They said it was red, I said it was amber. They were not behind me so how could they tell? They issued me with a fixed penalty...

    SLK 230 vs 320

    Sorry, I can not give you a lift. I loved my Fiat coupe. Sold it three years ago for a clk 320(V6). Looked at the slk but preferred the option of the rear seats. I think you will miss them. I use mine very rarely but still glad I have them. The CLK boot is massive also. Glad everyday I went...

    CHEAP Vauxhall VXR track day...

    Define UK I think all over the uk is a bit misleading. Are any of the tracks outside of England.Remember England and Britain are different. I am just a bit miffed as that sounded fun.

    Sprintbooster

    Non turbo Good review. Do you think it will have the same effect on a 320 V6 clk without a supercharger? I feel the throttle response on this car is slow and am excited about this fix. Craig

    New Pics

    I was having a discussion the other day with the mechanic servicing my car and your pictures have confirmed it definetely for me: the new clk is nothing compared to the W208 shape. (PS i own a 208 - rust and all)

    What tyres for a W209 CLK 55 AMG

    I have a W208 with not as much power as yours but ESP light was always on with Bridgestone potenza reo50 on the rear. Switched to toyo proxes last week and difference in grip is noticeable especially in wet. Was concerned they would be noisy due to aggressive tread pattern but are actually...

    SL needs new tyres.

    good grip That is good to know because I have bridgestone potenza re05 on my clk 320 and the traction conrol kicks in at least twice a day and I aint no speed freak. Does your traction control kick in as well. Hotch

    Wierd errors on dash: ABS + ESP + ? all failed at once (w208)

    Same here I get the same fault on my clk 320(W208). I also think battery but battery on mine has checked out fine. My independant garage has suggested a sensor. Restarting the car resolves the problem everytime. It has been raining when mine has happened more times than not(Possibly wipers...

    Lost more than you earn?

    Conclusion My original post was a bit of a moan but I thought I would be consoled by lots of my fellow merc owners in the same boat but that does not seem to be the case. I now feel worse. I conclude that the best time to buy a merc is after seven years as long as it is well looked after. I...

    Lost more than you earn?

    Following a thread posted by "usedcar show" on high mileage(a good point of merc ownership), I would like to compete for most depreciation suffered on a merc(a bad point). I am sure I will not win but am disgusted at residuals on the used merc I bought. CLK 320(w208) 2000 on a W - bought for...
