hi, i have a 1995 c36 amg, i just changed the head gasket and the car has developed a problem. when i accelerate(wot) from a stand still the car makes a strange noise like a big v8 and is quite slow. however this only happens in first gear, if i accelerate(wot) and the car shifts to second it...

Thought i'd do a comparison between my cls & it's replacement E350cdi on my daily run into London & back(dropping my mrs to work),same route every morning,5.45am start & exactly an hours roundtrip of 26 miles,mixture of 30mph single lane & 40mph carriageways-cls used to average between 20.8 &...

Hello everyone, This is my 1st post, i've been prompted to join by searching for advise while I am closing in on my 1st MB. I love the styling of the C Class which has pulled me away from 'the other lot':eek:. Anyway, I had the 220 manual in mind (one of the sports variants under 18...

Well its finally happened, after 5 Audis, 4 BMWs, 2 Porsches and a Renault Clio (don't ask) I went and bought myself a Mercedes Benz! And thrilled I am too. I picked up a 54 plate CLK270 CDI last week and I'm loving it. So much so I keep on driving past my house :) Naturally with a 100k miles...

Hi The question is asked in a different forum without success, so I give it another shot :-) C220 CDI BE 7G Tronic Plus – 06/2011 (31.000 Km) Should it, under normal conditions, start in 1st or 2nd gear ? My car is running much of the time with jerk/hard shift, and always 1st gear starts...

Hi all, I received a funny email few days ago and wanted to share with you,here we go: some of these pics reminded me of Top Gear.

Ive got a 32gb iPad 1 wifi with all original packaging, sync cable, video cable, Altec Lansing Octiv Stage MP450 with remote and an Incase leather portfolio case. I will also include a genuine Hackett iPad case in original packaging Everything comes in original packaging apart from the compo...

Hey people new to this site! My name is Antony Just put a deposit on a 2008 CLC 180 K Sport and can wait to pick her up in a few days. She has a Auto box (with paddle shift) bluetooth, parking aid, leather seats, cruise control, 18inch alloys :rock:.. should make a comfy change compared...

HI Everybody, Just posting a hello, as suggested by the nice people running this forum. 'Wish I could say the same about the dealer from whom I have just bought my first MB (03 SLK200K), although perhaps more of that, plus requests for advice in other forum areas. I fell like a right...

I've found the magic product, the one car dealers try to keep secret - I will share Scenario. You see a car in the dealers and its for you, your fastidious and a little obsessed with cars and paranoid over marks, dents and scratches but this is great, just a few marks but great for the year...

Hi, New to the forum and in need of a little help, i have a 1999 a class 1.6 auto and when i 1st start the cold from cold and select drive it just cuts out!if i leave for 5 mins until it has warmed up a little its fine and will be fine for the rest of the day. I took it to my local garage but...

So on Friday I went to collect my C63 Estate. As some of you know from my other threads (http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/new-member-introductions/127551-hello-mb-newbie-c63-order.html), it's been a long time coming. The fact I was on my way down to finally collect it was almost a slightly surreal...

Well after 6 long months (see here), my C63 Estate has finally hit UK shores and is at the Dealership. I am collecting on Friday. :bannana: x 1,000,000

Yep, took it in this morning to have the geometry checked... Suspension was running a bit low, front and rear toe was OOS, along with camber and castor. :eek: Fortunately the camber and castor came in spec once the ride heigh was corrected. Toe was adjusted and after a fair bit of tweaking...

When i start my 300SL up from cold and drive down the road, it wont change up a gear (i presume it starts from 2nd?). I havnt tried flooring it to see if it changes. I cure it by putting it into N then back to D and it sometimes is ok. Any ideas? The car has done 205k miles and is otherwise...

Hi All, Posted this in another thread and was suggested that I include it here too, by way of an introduction: A few weeks ago I visited my local MB dealership to explore the dog-compatibility of recent E class saloons (I’d rather not have an estate), and concluded that I’d need split/fold...

If this is the sign of things to come, this car wont be around for long with me.... I'm really not impressed that a 5 year old car with 23k miles and full Mercedes Service history should need a new rear Air Suspension/shock absorber strut. So £1600 later and both rear struts replaced (as...

Hi all just a quicky to say hello to all at mb club

Had my first m.o.t since buying my car. Didnt expect too much to be wrong from a 2002 with fmsh. I needed a new drivers seatbelt, handbrake adjustment and as my keyless entry on the drivers side wasn't working, thought i'd replace that......£670! and the keyless doesn't work till i get the...
