Hi all. After a spell of VW and Audi vehicles, I decided 3 years back to try MB and I wasn't disappointed. After purchasing a 1-owner 2002 CLK230K with FMBSH, it performed 100% faultlessly over the 25000 miles. Converted, I have just purchased this 2005 CL500. Just 2 owners, FMBSH and only 80k...

Hello guys, After having the CL.. one month of not moving her, just starting her up once a week to make sure the battery is OK. I took her out for a spin today and ... hhmmm once I came back and put her on the driveway I could hear something like a hamster wheel from the engine bay... I found...

Hi. I have a non-bose CL500. Firstly , I cannot find the amplifier in the boot, next to the cd changer. Nothing there, but the sub does play. I was wondering if I could just plug-in a bose amp into the D2B fibre optic system and replace the stock speakers with bose speakers. Would it be worth...
