I have an MOT coming up next month, looks like it going to be a fairly costly one too.... Looking at the previous advisories the brakes need to be changed (disc’s + pads, front + rear) I am also going to need 2 front tyres and may be a brake hose…. Can anyone tell me how much the brakes are...

The oil that has been used is Mobil Super S 10W-40 Is this the best oil to use? Or would i be better with fully synthetic?

A colleague is looking at SLKs but wondered why MB dropped the 230K engine - anyone shed any light on it? I didn't have a clue why but thought if there's one place I can find out.... Thanks Sean

Hi guys, I have a aftermarket headunit in my clk 230 but my steering wheel volume doesn't work. My friend said that I need some sort of kit to get the volume buttons on the steering wheel to function with the aftermarket headunit. Unfortunately for the headunit their is no manufacturer name...

I dont know who had a thread earlier saying 230k's were thirsty... but i hope this disproves that rule. The only thing i did was take a 100mile trip on the motorway, but the other 220miles were very enthusiastic town driving :D And to be honest, i had another 7 litres of reseve left, so i...

Hi everyone, i have just bought my first mercedes a clk 230k. It has the standard 16in wheels and along with changing the springs to an eibach pro kit i would like to fit either 17 or 18 wheels. Any suggestions? I have looked on ebay but i am baffled as to which will fit. I would prefer to get...

Hi all, while driving on the motorway tonight my SLK seemed to have hardly any power at all, I literally had my foot to the floor and it slowly climbed to around 70mph but felt like it had no more to offer. Also wouldn't kick down unless I pushed my foot right down on the switch under the...

Hi As some of you know I have a CLK230K, I have filled a full tank plus a 15 quid topup, I am now at 290 miles and am hitting the point where the light is due to turn on. The onboard computer says I have achieved 22.2MPG. Is it me or is this figure really low? I have driven the car fast on a...

I've had a droning noise for some while (ruled out the wife as it still occurs when she's not there!). Was hoping it was a wheel bearing but the MOT test last week showed no wear or noise. The tester took it up the road to give me an opinion and in his view it was worn diff bearings which he...

Hi all It was a long time coming round this time 10,000 miles took 5 & 1/2 months. My miles are not clocking up as fast as i spend 2 weeks every month in Ukraine without the car. Roll on 300K but at this rate it could be the middle of next year or there abouts if we are all spared. See...

Hi, I have an Astra Van 1.7td on an R reg. And a Clk230 Kompressor Elegance Auto coupe on a T reg. The clk was driven daily but came off the road due to a failed MAF sensor, a few other bits and bobs and also getting 9 points on my license. I now drive daily the van, and the clk is up on...
