Hello there, a newbie here. we've just bought our first Mercedes, a 2004 C220 diesel auto and I'm rather impressed. The problem is it has an old Nokia cark 112 hands free kit fitted. This no longer works with modern phones. The car also has a (broken) satnav fitted which has a remote control...

Hi all, So I'm a bit bored with my CL as it is undriveable and the poor thing has just sat on the drive for 3 months so I'm thinking of doing a little project with it. I figured as the factory sound system is completely pants and way out of date I could tackle this. Also the car is a lot...

Hi all wonder if anyone can help, had a slide window fitted to the side door, all good except theirs four holes for drainage, which IMO spoils the look. The supplier said that due to the lack of call for the windows, unlike the VW transporter they have,not progressed in design. Hence the...

Hi all, As many of you know, some Mercs (e.g. mid-00s S & SL) have 2 batteries - one for engine starter, one for other things. The starter battery is a 35ah AGM battery of a proprietary size, so it's only available from Merc for a lot of money (over £200). However recently I've found...
