    2005 Clk Amg 55 Remap advice please!

    Hi Aaron, I'm in Derby and looking to get resonator delete then decat. I was hoping to get it done locally but of the first two places I tried, one wouldn't even look at the job and the other had it up on ramps and said the inlet side and the outlet side of the resonator were different...

    W203 estate, rear seat stuck.

    Drivers side, split rear seat won't go down. When I pull the release handle there is no click like the other side so it seems the cable has disconnected which is a known weakness. Searches reveal it's probably beyond my modest (to none exsistent) spannering skills. Should I look for a...

    C55 resonator delete question.

    I've got another res. delete question chaps, so I don't look like a complete muppet when I go for some quotes at the weekend. Is the resonator a single unit, to be replaced by a single stainless steel pipe or is there one for each side of the exit exits? I've looked at images and one shows a...

    My new C55

    Mike, I paid 11k for the C55, reduced from 12k including new tax and rear tyres. Still quite strong money for a 100,000 mile car which can be had for 8-10k but this one was full merc history, and was clearly well cared for, just serviced and MOTed where as others needed servicing and only a...

    C55 resonator delete question.

    Thanks DRBC, K & N filter is only £38 from ebay so might do that this month as well. Ronam, I've had 2 parking sensor quotes at £145/180. They look fine imo. You take your car in and they match the colour then go back in three days when the part is in for fitting.

    C55 resonator delete question.

    THanks BlackC55. I've overspend a bit this month and want to do my upgrades a bit at a time. I'll be getting rear parking sensors (surprised these weren't spec'd on the car but it does have full paddles and some other nice bits) plus sat nav/mp3. So this month it'll probably just be the...

    C55 resonator delete question.

    Thanks Alps. I did email MSL with the question but didn't get a reply. That was for a quote for res. delete and secondary cat. delete. I'll ring em but if anyone has any experience of this mod if be grateful for some info.

    C55 resonator delete question.

    I want to do a couple of little bits to my new C55 estate including removing the resonator. Is this simply a case of taking the car to one of my local independent exhaust people, have them cut out the res. and directly replace it with a straight through pipe with no ecu tweeking required or is...

    My new C55

    No dipstick I'm afraid, just a red pull out plug to cover the oil level tube. I know some models with the m113 have a dipstick but not mine :( There are some universal dipsticks available on ebay although it seems to come in a pack of 4 to include transmission oil dipsticks as well. The...

    My new C55

    56' Silver estate, photos to follow. I love her, although this is my first week and very much the honeymoon period. With 100k miles she feels amazingly fresh and a credit to previous owners with meticulous services records up to date. My first V8, heavenly torque and noise. The car is...

    C55 Estate

    Yup the C55 package sounds better finished. I'm not sure if they are all galvanised but they don't seem to suffer from the rust issues of the C32. Also I have yet to tick the V8 box. I've got a viewing on Thursday. Excited! Oh and Sheilas wheels have quoted me £266 for insurance with...

    C55 Estate

    Just a cheeky bump. I've been sooo tempted by a lovely saloon and only really need the estate for the dog but since we've been dog owners for the last couple of years our country walks have stopped so I guess i'll dig in for the long haul as I miss the peak district. I did make an offer on an...

    C55 Estate

    The scooby is an 05 plate saloon, 97k with FSH, high standard spec. Mechanical and interior very good and totally reliable, exterior is average with 3 trolly dinks and curbing (from before my time obviously). 5 months T & T. It's the UK spec B so N/A 245bhp not the imported turbo version...

    C55 Estate

    Cheers for the suggestion but I'm going to stick to my guns, for the time being at least. There's a lovely S4 Avant available, local to me which I would have bought in a flash if these damned C55s hadn't turned up on my radar and as I'll probably own my next car for 3-4 years I want to avoid...

    C55 Estate

    Yup I'm smitten with these atm. Audi S4 Avant was top of the list but bar 4WD the C55 trumps it for me in every department. I just missed an 04 plate that appeared very well maintained on 85k. £9850 ono Something like this is good for my budget, the private 06 on ebay at £12,000 with over...
