judder If there is too much play in the bearings might this cause "judder" on braking?

I took the car to John Haynes in Goring-on-Sea, near Worthing and they were excellent. In and out in less than an hour and nice people. They did an excellent job. It seems that this is quite a common fault on these cars. This is potentially a lethal defect in the seat belt system and not one I...

Today I got in the car and the driver's seat belt was stuck. The mechanical arm just kept coming out and going back in again! I gave the belt a tug and it came out but with no tension and it won't go back in again! The belt is now fully out so I can't drive it. I have looked at many forums and...

Seat belt issue. Hi all, I did the plugs myself, new Iridium NGK's and running very smoothly. The oil change was done by National and was a bit hit and miss but all ok now. The best help I got for the other work was from Steve at Stevensons in Maidstone. They gave me a pretty good quote for all...

thanks both, have emailed those 2 recommends for a quote....if anyone else has any suggestions I'm keen to get it done. MB's quote was ridiculous!

Hi, can anyone recommend a reasonable price, Indie or MB service place near Eastbourne or Brighton? I'm looking for a major service, engine oil/filter, HT leads, plugs, transmission oil/filter (auto), air filter etc...(what else should I get done at 80,000 miles?). Thanks :-)

Yes, I suspect it was a similar issue here. There is a drain pipe that drips down onto the alarm siren. The siren rusts causing a short. Now if anyone from Mercedes would like to offer me a new replacement car....please email me :D

all done....disconnected the alarm siren...pig of a job to get the fender shroud off...but no more blowing fuses. Thanks all :-)

CLK 200 Kompressor w209 Hi all once again and thanks for any advice. One day out of the blue my central locking would not work at all with the remote and I could not open the car. I used the "secret" key :-) and it all works from the inside. Driving along and the radio will not pick up it's...

Car is W209 and engine is M271...thanks in advance.

Hi all, had a nasty misfire / warning light episode today. The number 1 spark plug well was full of oil (2 was dry). Looks like I may need a new rocker cover gasket? Can anyone help with a how to? Can I do it myself maybe? Any tips or advice or if anyone knows a good mechanic in the Brighton /...

Hi all, I have a CLK 200 hard top, W209. Today I had to get a large package in the car, the rear seats folded down nicely but I couldn't get the front seat to fold forwards or backwards much so it was impossible. Do you have any tips as to how to make more space for such an occasion, as in my...
