    Geneva Motor Show 2024 Dates now confirmed: Weds 28 Feb - Sunday 3rd March - booked your day return yet?

    We went many times prior to Covid, early flight from Luton so in the show before it got busy. Would then head into Geneva itself using the free bus transfer for a wander round and a bite to eat.

    I'm a 2004 CLK500 Cabrio. Guess my weight!

    Doesn't sound quite right to me, were you able to weigh the complete car, or front and rear separately then add them together?

    CLK W209 Parking Sensors overly enthusiastic

    Mercedes CLK 280 W209 (2006) When I select reverse the rear parking sensors appear to activate without any real justification (no obvious obstructions). I presume there is a fault on one or more sensors, is there a simple way to test the sensors or is it a case of diagnostics such as Star or...

CLK 320, 350 and 500 were fitted with the same 9 spoke but 17"diameter wheels, which as they are also a wider...

    Same design wheel, different diameter why?

    Looking at the sales brochure for my CLK W209, I notice that exactly the same design of wheel (Borbet) is available as either a 16" or 17". Apart from use of lower profile tyres (55/50 down to 45/40) is there any other reason for the diameter choice?
