    Meet The New Boss

    Same as the old boss ;) Found myself another CLK 320, she's in pretty good condition, I'm very pleased so far. The only problem I've found is the windows don't drop when the doors are opened. Anyone got any ideas where the problem may lie?

    Wanted W208 CLK

    Hi guys. I'm in the market for a W208 CLK320 with a decent specification level, good bodywork and reasonable service history.

    Looking at new brakes for the CLK. Was thinking about Bosch, but just noticed a great deal on Febi Bilstein. What's the forums opinion on these, or should I give them both a miss?

    Have Mercedes shot themselves in the foot?

    Just looking on Auto-Trader and saw 350SL's on offer for prices sub 6K I'm presuming this is because they are so complicated and expensive to repair, that at the first sign of trouble, you may as well drop a lighted match in the petrol tank. This surely can't be a good thing :dk: Mercedes...

    Heater Blower Resistor

    Hi Guys, In July the heater blower wouldn't shut off, even when the ignition key was removed. I fixed this issue by replacing the heater blower resistor and all has been well up until last Thursday. I was away from home visiting family, so have only just been able to investigate the...

    Traffic Enforcement Officers.

    Hi Guys, I was wondering does anyone know what, if any, powers they have, regarding speeding offences. I may be mistaken, but I am under the impression they have no authority and find it quite annoying when drivers slam on the brakes and crawl past them at 65MPH. Anyone know for sure...

    Driver Window Rattle.

    I have a very un-Mercedes like rattle from the drivers window, on my W208 convertible. It only really does this over bumps, when the top is down. There is a small amount of movement at the top of the window glass, the rear window is firmly fixed and if I lower the drivers window (top down)...

    The Mystery Of The Thermostat And The Fuel Consumption

    I replaced the thermostat on my w208 CLK320 the other day, simple job and all was well, heater nice and toasty. I was feeling a little smug and pleased with my handiwork, basking in the warm air wafting from my vents. Today I had to drive to Heathrow, mid afternoon, plenty of time, so...
