Hi All, 2006 CLK 320 cdi, 722.9 (7g tronic) 99k. Gearbox oil changed by Mercedes (at my request) about 5k previous. In the last couple of weeks, the car has developed a weird rotational noise. The car shifts perfect in C or S, but under heavy load, there is just this weird sound. It got ever...

Hello, Having never owned a Mercedes I'm now considering changing my E39 BMW Touring for a W210 E Class, due to the larger estate area. I'm particularly interested in the E55 and am well aware of (at least some) of the potential issues. As I'm not that mechanically minded and a decent (or...

Hi, Can anybody recommend a KE Jetronic expert in the London area who can look at my 190E? Doesn't necessarily have to be a Mercedes specialist since VWs, Volvos, Saabs etc. of the era used the same system. Quite a few "Mercedes specialists" I have encountered are ok with routine work but it...

My OTHER little cherub (only he's not so little now) has duff aircon on his Peugeot. He's tried the main dealer, who supposedly topped it up (but it still isn't working) and said they could not find a leak. Funny that; I topped it up about a year ago, and it was fine for about a month, then it...

This week there will mostly be a black E63 wagon taking in the sights :cool:. I'll look out for friendly waves (and perhaps a couple of coffee bean shakers) :D. Any "must see" attractions, please let me know.

Hi All, Thanks to a silver haired lady who didn't stop to meet I have a minor bumper scuff to deal with, it is right on the corner and whilst I polished most of the damage away I am left with an area missing a small amount of paint but no so small to be able to touch in. Could anyone...

Repaired a rust spot and resprayed it, however I think maybe I went a littlemover thd top and the freshly painted bit is darker/thicker than the surrounding area. Is there a way of fixing this so it all blends in?

Hi I'm looking for a rolling road to test my c63, it's supposed to be remapped to 495bhp (Quantum remap) but I have never drove any other c63 so I would never know the difference. Just want it rolling roadbed to see what sort of figures it makes, and if it's not as good as I expected, get a...

Would really appreciate some help please. Diesel is leaking from the hole just below where fuel nozzle goes in. I have changed the fuel cap, added the rubber seal from the old cap and tried to reshape the bottom area with mole grips.... all to no avail. I do not feel confident in trying to...
