    Obsidian Black CLK320 Avantgarde for sale

    Due to the need for four doors, and the recent purchase of a Jag (I must be mad…), I’m reluctantly putting my CLK up for sale. I’ve owned this car since October 2005, and in the last few years it’s been a second or third car. It’s always been kept garaged, and has been very well cared for. It...

    A160 Blue Efficiency - not that efficient!

    I've got one of these as a courtesy car at the moment. I've been watching the mpg with interest. Bearing in mind this is supposed to be fuel efficient, and even has the (irritating to me) stop/start facility, I have to say the fuel consumption is pretty woeful. I took this pic this morning...

    Rust is coming back

    I had the rust repaired on my CLK's rear arches and boot lid in April of last year, and although it looked like a great job at the time, it has started to come back on the rear arches. Now, I asked when I collected my car (MB Leicester) how long their work was guaranteed for, and they told me it...

    300SL misfire / hesitation

    Any ideas on cause of this please: I took my girlfriend's late grandad's SL for a run today, it hadn't been started since late November (see this thread.) The battery was flat, despite being left garaged and on a trickle charger. One quick swap with the one from her grandma's C240, and after...

    Did early R129s have 'comfort' windows?

    I went to take my girlfriend's late grandfather's 300SL for a run today, as it hadn't been started since his sudden death at the start of October. (See my earlier thread for the car's details). The battery had gone completely flat, which wasn't a big surprise. I charged the battery up, and...

    Help valuing an R129 300SL, and a couple of other things...

    I need to get valuations for a few vehicles owned by my girlfriend's grandfather who sadly passed away last month. Unfortunately, they're too old for any of the online valuation guides, and one of them is erm, really old. Firstly, his 300SL. I have the vin for this if anyone can decode it...

    W208 Clk55 Amg

    This looks a nice, original example (apart for the V8 badge on the boot). Pretty comprehensive listing, to say the least, and a fair price. Apparently, no rust either. :D

    Advice on selling a car please!

    I've just bought my girlfriend a new car (Mitsubishi Colt), so need to sell her Fiesta. Firstly, I'm undecided as to where is best to advertise it. I last sold a car through autotrader, and had plenty of timewasters and canvassers call, despite putting 'no canvassers' in the ad. Is selling via...

    208 convertibles, experiences please?

    I'm just thinking out loud here really... I've had my CLK320 for nearly three years now. It's a great car, (touches wood...) and I still love the shape, but am starting to get itchy feet. :rolleyes: I quite like the idea of a soft top, and I've always wanted a V8, so I'm thinking maybe a...

    Help with crank angle sensor part number please?

    It looks as though the crank angle sensor may have failed on my CLK, can anyone help me with the MB and/or Bosch part number? It’s a 2000 CLK320. Bit of background: Last Wednesday, out of the blue, it failed to start. Three attempts later, I did the obligatory ‘swear at the car’, and hey...
