Cheers Chris - I did some looking on Ebay and came across the different NTG4 options and asked for how to work that out - had had post from another chap with what to look for so will check that in the morning. I think mine is an NTG4 Audio 50 (I just realised I had the manual in the nice...

Thanks Mark - will check this in the morning :)

As per the heading. It looks like I have some version of NTG4, but whilst looking around for satnav maps there seem to be two different versions, one which is just NTG4 and another that is NTG4 Audio 50. Where can i find out this info - apparently it is significant if you want to get updated...

Chris - looks like I have NTG 4 in my 2009 e350 coupe - could I ask where you got the update map disk from - I'm struggling to find anywhere that sells it other than a silly price from MB Thanks in advance.

I have just moved on from my trusty CLK270 to an E class Coupe E350CDI and very swooshy it is indeed. One thing that I noticed when looking at various models was the increased power and better fuel economy of the 2011 onwards models (and also £65 less tax). Are these engines identical, and...

I've just done a full polish and seal on my lights - will be posting it pics later hopefully. The 3M polishing kit is about £15 to £20, and the sealant is about £8 - so not a lot of money. You need to give your self 1 to 2 hours MAX - my lights were terrible (MOT failure even with super bright...

I found the difference. The "sports" suspension has thicker anti roll bar and different struts. One way to spot these is to look at the thread of the roll bar link. If it has a 12mm thread connections at the ends then you have sports suspension. If you have thinner then it is standard.

Avoid Pirelli. I don't quite know why they are considered a premium brand other than their high prices - they are really poor tyres in the wet - always have been. The only ones that seem to work are the ultra expensive ones that go on things like 911's. You re looking at Goodyear - this is...

Goodyear Eagles if you want top notch. Avon SV7 (their brand new design) if you want good mid range.

Best tyres are Eagle F1s. Ive run them for years on several cars and they just can not be beaten for wet and dry grip and breaking. But they are expensive and do wear quite quickly. Twice I have had Pirellis and twice I have got rid long before they wore out - never again. Ive used bridgestone...

Just sharing as I am now going through the massive **** ache of trying to sort this out. The front roll bar bushes on the clk 270 (and I guess most if not all W209 models) are held in with 8mm bolts. These are bolted thru the sub frame and the thread is part of the frame. When you try...

Codger - i'll get that to you tomorrow - thanks! On EPC accoreding to my reg I get both options hence me being a bit stuck. They show Elegance options for my reg too.

Hello, As I understand it the Avantgarde has more sporty suspension than the elegance - is this the case. When I'm looking for parts (shocks and springs) I am being offered "sports" and non sports options. Should the Avantgarge be fitted with "sports" options, or are these for the much more...

Really good job there!!

Best using a battery drill and not a mains drill to avoid the melting effect :)

Good year all the way on 18". None of that fidget and much better grip. They will also outlast the conti's significantly. Worst wearing tyres ive ever come across. If you want to try something different, look at the new Avon zv7 - just put a set on my front and its like I'm driving on...

Lower arms is my next move. Handling wise I can't believe how well this car goes round corners quick..but makes it feel like you aren't. My previous car was Mondeo v6 zetec S with very trick suspension, the CLK outhandles it (and the Zetec S was a fine handling car) but feels a lot more...

Hi Nitjay, I've got Clk 270 w209 and mine drifts left all the time - they are notorious for it. I've just had one of my roll bar links replaced and that made a big difference, and ive about to replace the lower arms (thrust). The general rule of thumb is that its all worn out, so to...

I've recently ditched Bridgestones (that I've always got on well with) for Avons new ZV7. They are like superglue. Quiet, economy seems slightly better but that could be my imagination, but the main thing is their wet breaking and handling performance is streaks ahead of anything else ive used...

Hello M ECP chap :) Recent wobbly suspension woes made me take the car into local dealer to look at. They replaced the anti roll bar link which got rid of my wobble, but they also reported that both side lower arms had a lot of play. Can you give me a price on a NS AND OS lower arm...
