Hi! Have seen a couple of threads on CLs draining their battery.. well now mine is doing it! At first, I assumed it was the battery, so new Exide 100Ah battery fitted.. But no, still flattens the battery over a day or 2 of non use. In an effort to sort it, have removed the sat-nav CD and...

Probably...:D It's going to need a bit of TLC and a few quid spending on it, but the devil in me couldn't miss out on one of the most, shall we say, delicate Mercedes of all time. It'll be getting collected as soon as possible and then we can have a look at what needs really doing...

Just bought a 2001 CL55 AMG last month for the sum of 4200 pounds. Cheap at the time. I thought! So, a 700 mile drive completed this weekend, and yesterday morning right before we did the final 300 miles the yellow ABC light comes on. I stop the car, turn it off and on and it goes away. I'm...

Hi all. What are your thoughts on getting rid of the cats & getting it remapped? I've been told it'll sound & go a lot better

Hi guys. I've always fancied one since I worked selling mercs in Leeds back on 2004. I really want a cherished one, from an enthusiast with full mbsh. Ideally that has been under teir 1 so all fixes have been carried out. My plan is to get it covered by warranty directs top policy to...

Hi guys Had the CL a week now and only one small problem. The boot only goes up about 18" when using the electric opening, you can then push it up further. Is this a simple job of replacing the gas arms? Cheers Gary Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK

Reference my other thread on my mate looking for an SL55 he asked me a question last night... why are there (comparitively) so many SL55s available and so few CL55s. I took a look this morning and I can find only 3 CL55 Kompressor cars for sale in the UK whereas there are quite a number of...

Guys, having just got the 55k I realise the tv function is useless as it was analogue. Guess a few of you have had this since the digital switch over. Can I upgrade? Also the sat nav is very basic, is there an upgrade. Sent from my iPhone using MBClub UK

I have been driving my newly acquired CL55 on new wheels and tyres for about a week now and have spent a small fortune having other things done on the car since I bought it (new torque converter, engine mounts, gearbox mount, fron suspension arms etc.). The tyre pressures are correct and all...
