1st

Hello, New member here and would value some advice about 5 sp auto box in my C200. During these cold snaps I've noticed that after being stationary (in 1st gear) for a minute or more and then moving off, the gearbox seems to 'slip' (feels a bit like sliding the clutch in a manual) and also...

..and found it to be original and unused! :D Inspired by someone mentioning here that the used MB they had bought still had the original kit I remembered to have a look. I mean, thinking about it, it's not that surprising that it is still there but i somehow found it reasurring in my 10 yr...

all hail to the 'Guys in the Know', i.e. You Lot! :rock: my Baby is due for her first service in a couple of weeks, 2007 CLK 280 Sport Cabrio. bit disappointed that we're on fixed service intervals instead of variable with Assyst, but i'm sure i knew this when we bought her (just think...

Hi folks, I'm away from all my paperwork for the week and the 100m service indicator has lit. The car is just about to reach 48k. I have a two year T1 warranty with the vehicle. I'm not adversed to paying the correct money for the right work to be done. But as this is the 1st time...

just had 1st MOT on my 05 163 ML 270 - garage ( John Weir of Inverness ) offered a free end of warranty inspection .. They replaced 2 x fr ball joints, a broken exhaust clamp, a leaking oil level switch and lubed throttle cable as it was - and still is v sticky - all gratis.. Cant fault their...

Hi all, Although I registered a week or so ago I have finally today taken delivery of my first MB! Hope it meets your approval...the eagle eyed will spot a couple of non standard bits. Its a 320 Avantgarde SE on an '02 and so far I love it!! I will have many questions in the coming...

Things are on the up. Recieved £50 off my first service from MB:bannana:

The CLK aircon isn't blowing cold. Before I ask an MB dealer to look at it are there any common problems that these older climate control systems suffer from or is more than likely to just be a simple re-gass (fingers crossed)? Or.... Option 2, are they simple enough for your above...

Hi the idea of this thread is to identify the highest milage Merc we have on the forum.... I will start with my car. ONLY post a reply on this thread if your car is higher mileage than the post before you and keep to the same format. Dont post if your car is lower mileage or start a...

Gah! can someone make this day go quicker please?! Picking up my 1st MB tomorrow and i just can't wait any longer!!! Waiting for the dealer to call me back to arrange a time at the mo - sooo tempted to just phone him again and again until he makes himself available!!!! Plans once i get her...

Hi My year 2000 ( not 1990 as I origonaly said) E class 320 CDi estate Auto has suddenly stuck in what seems like 1st gear, the tiptronic function does not operate now and the dashboard indicator ( what I can see of it but thats another problem) says that the car is in D for drive. Reverse...

I have an old C180 sport (1997/R) which has covered 131000 miles. There are two flat spots on acceleration. the 1st is around 4000rpm and the 2nd at around 5800rpm. I have replaced the MAF with a brand new Bosch unit but the problem persists. There are no warning lights illuminated on the dash...

Just joined the MB fold with a May 2003 CLK 320 Avantgarde (Pre-facelift W209 ?) Brilliant Silver Metallic with Grey two tone leather. 17" alloy wheels, Heated Seats, Sport Suspension, parking sensors. Only drawback is it's fitted with an Audio 10 radio/cassette and a 6(?) cd change...

Hi all, I came across this forum last week & thought I'd join & post. After hankering after a Merc for several years I finally took the plunge. I've had Audi's before but always fancied the 3 pointed star so bought one last month. I got a W203 C240 Elegance on a 2001 plate with 67,000 miles. I...

I didn't know these things were so cheap: 2002 CLK500 with 64k on the clock and mine for £13.5k. Would it be a better bet than an older CLK55? I need to get myself a Merc at some point before I get chucked off this forum (still regretting not buying Stringbags C43 :mad: )!!
