Hi. Trying to find an exhaust for the above car. It's the middle section that's blowing my mechanic tells me. Eurocarparts don't have one and its a fortune at Mercedes. Anybody know of another supplier or even a second hand one if someone's breaking one.
Ustinov looking at buying an example of te above as a convertible, the only real issue I can see is that e spare wheel has been removed at some point and now I would need one. Can I just use any Merc 5 stud alloy wheel, or a steel space saver if they are okay to use.
Cheers, Bob.
Hi,
I had a full custom stainless steel exhaust system fitted to my 230CE around a year ago, but have recently acquired a 300CE. Will I be able to reuse the full system from the 230 onto the 300? The system has had one silencer removed from the original setup.

Hi, does anyone know were the cam chain adjuster is on a 230 compressor engine,? need to remove cylinder head and would like to change chain at same time, does the engine need to come out?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Anyone know why the tickover on a CLK 230 might only achieve approx 500rpm when hot in D, and only, say 50 rpm more in park. Can it be adjusted or is it a component issue? Thanks !
