    Stuttgart

    After a fairly fraught first part of the year I've finally got round to taking some time off work and on the spur of the moment have just booked a flight and hotel in Stuttgart for 3 days to go and wander round the Mercedes and Porsche museums. Any tips or advice from those who've been?

    Scumbags :(

    Sundays are when I park in the town centre when I'm working in Doncaster, no traffic wardens and my usual car park too empty to be safe. Walking up to it after work, one of my colleagues remarked how great it looks when clean (ahem) but as I went to open the door I realised someone had keyed it...

    New car frustration!

    No not with the car, my new CLS is sitting on my drive and I can't drive it until the lease company come and pick the old one up, which will be "somewhere between 9.00am and 5.00pm'. Aaaaargh :crazy: Consoling myself with reading the manual and running out and pressing buttons every time I...

    Another goodbye

    This weekend my new car finally arrives and it's time for the CLK to go back. My tenure with it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride and many of the problems I have had have been well documented on this forum. So it's time to say goodbye to the Merc - and goodbye to the forum. I am on too...

    Almost l-o-st p-a-t-i-e-n-c-e

    I know it's on it's last few weeks of life with me but the stupid machine is driving me nuts again. After having to wait a week for them to fit me in, I took my car in to the dealer on Tues as the roof had stopped working (it stuck halfway up and I had to call the Mobilo clowns out). Today...

    "Chrome" bumper trim for W209

    I know this is just white plastic underneath as my dealer once scraped some of the silver foil off while cleaning my car, now I've gone and scraped one while turning in to a narrow gateway. I never saw how they fixed it before so does anyone know if I can buy the silver strip on it's own and...

    209/203 stereo code and pinouts

    Following on from my recent query about wiring my gps receiver in permanently, I have found that I can get a permanent (i.e not switched on by the ignition) feed from pins 30 and 31 of the stereo harness. Before I do this however can anyone confirm whether or not these units are pin coded as I...

    Power supply for GPS

    I'm getting fed up of removing my BT GPS receiver from the car to charge it and occasionally, on drives up to the north of Scotland, the battery is running out before I get there. So what I need to do is find somewhere to leave it wired in permanently but I don't want it cluttering the dash and...

    Yet another warranty problem!!

    This is really starting to bug me now! Went to Rome for a few days and left my car at my brothers house while I was away and when I picked it up this morning and started it up the electric belt feeders have stopped working. Tried several times and have tried again since getting home but no...

    Droopy boot

    One of the things I liked when I got the car was the ability to open the boot with the key fob, but as each week went by it began to open less and less wide until, after 3 months it opens barely a couple of inches. Is there an adjuster or does it mean another trip to the dealer waving my...

    W209 stereo fascia adapter.... again

    I know i've asked this before but I thought I'd try again to see if anything new has come to light. I'm looking for a fascia adapter so I can remove the Audio 10 and replace it with a DIN sized Alpine unit and am not having much luck. I thought that my best chance was to look for one for a...

    Brown trousers time

    On my way back up the M1 this morn, in the outside lane at about 90 (km/h obviously) and the car started wobbling. In the time it took for my daughter to say "what's that wobbling" the nearside rear tyre shredded itself and the view behind disappeared in black smoke. Managed to get across to...

    Neo MP3 Jukebox

    Anyone had any experience of these? They seem to compare very favourably pricewise with the Phatnoise/Music Keg and have the same features, while being able to interface fully with alpine headunits. I like the idea of being able to take it out of the car and plug it into a dedicated bay on...

    Fascia adapters

    About to get started on upgrading the stereo in my W209 CLK Cab and have decided on the Alpine 9815RB which I've found for £340 from Letsbuycaraudio.com. What I need to find now is a fascia adapter to allow fitting of a standard din stereo, a wiring adapter to patch it into the harness and...

    Cab roof mechanism

    Just come back from hols and though my next project is upgrading the stereo there is one thing that has been bugging me (well one of thousands of things in my life - that's what a beach hol does for me, I get bored and need to keep my mind active!). It's the roof. Is there any way that the...
