Hi All, Yesterday I tried removing the engine cover for the first time on the CLK and I managed to split the air intake hoses, not realising they were attached. I have duct taped them together but was wondering if it was worth finding replacements or would I be fine to leave as is ? Thanks

Hi Guys and Gals My CLK430 project - I've only driven it for 10 miles and it is now SORN I've had it running on the driveway for oil change etc. Have noticed it seems limited at 4K when revving it (fully hot of course). I didn't gun it on the drive home from collecting it. This normal?

Hi folks After 6mths with a BMW 330ci, a CLK430 convertible popped up that dragged me over to the other side of the fence. The car is bought as a bit of a gentle restoration project, and needs a bit of love in certain places, so I'll probably be popping up with a lot of (inane) questions...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy one of these. I went to see one today and was a bit appalled at the number of leaks I could spot in the engine bay so I walked away. One was dripping directly onto the exhaust manifold, a drop every 20-30 seconds, the other appeared to be from the left bank head...
