days

Last Sunday saw the end of my first year of CL ownership and the (rather alarming) realisation that I'd done 20,000 miles and put £5k of fuel through it. The miles were probably split 60:40 between motorways and fast A and B roads, with my average speed showing as 48mph, with a shade over...

I have a 2005 CLK200 Kompressor. I had check engine light and now I have Service B due in 30 days. Would this be oil related? If I try to check oil level, it doesn't let me. Just says service due. It says in book that no need to check oil level for automatic transmission, I've checked before...

Hopefully this will be a brief one, recently removed this device from the engine of my W124, its a Kaltlaufregler ( which in English is a cold running regulator). As far as I understand it has a bimetallic strip inside which, when the engine is cold, it feeds extra air to the fuel injection...

I have spent 2 days of my life making my new to me 2006 CLK 350 convertible in showroom condition. I used a convertible roof cleaner then sealed it. Cleaned every surface of the interior except the roof lining. Applied leather balm to the seats. Washed the car. Clayed the paintwork...

Went on holiday for 10 days and when we came back my C350 CDI had a terrible misfire, felt like it was running on 3 cylinders, luckily it cleared up after about a mile. Is this normal or should I have it looked at? Been running fine ever since, so not sure why this occurred.

Sun came out in Warrington today, so out came the pela oil pump. Old oil out filter off new filter on and fresh Mobil 1 in took just under the hour. When I think what I did in the old days:eek: on my back covered in oil then cleaning it off the path. Thank god for oil extractors. :D

Hi all, Been on here for a while but lost my log in info doh! I took my C63 estate (2011 facelift) to a charity track day last week giving rides to wounded soldiers, and have another track day on Thursday. Had trouble all day with it going into limp mode, from research this is a common...

Hi all, thought I'd share my work I've carried out on my new to me CL55 that I picked up 16 days ago, when I get a new car I cant rest till I've addressed any issues it has and make it look the way I like. Here's how it looked in the advert: Once I got it home the work began...

Well it's taken for ever but looks like my new sport X will be mine on Monday. I can't tell you how much trouble I have had buying one of these vans. I stared back in October last year when my T5 started groaning after nearly 9 years of abuse. Don't get me wrong, it's been a fantastic van and...

SO...i got my first MB last week, a 99 320 CLK AvantGarde Automatic with the 1 to 4 gear option..always been a BM guy..but loving the ride so far... When i got the car he said truthfully that at times it would drive 'out of gear' i have experienced this..it almost stays in first and the rev...

Was due a service in 3800miles, now its come down to 30 days:eek:, i know it changes over your driving style/time but this is :wallbash:

I guys just wondering if there are anymore meets or show days which I could attend this year?

Bought a 300-CE 24v as a project car a week ago today: Drove perfectly once hot, but was hard to start when cold and had various other minor issues to sort. Was on my way to a local garage to sort out a replacement fuel filter on Friday when a vw crafter flatbed pulled out of a side road...

Since I got my car in March 2012 I have been invited on three driving days. Two by Audi and one by BMW. I have yet to be invited on a Mercedes one. Poor marketing strategy by MB or is it a case of they've had my money and so the jobs done? You would think that they would want to encourage brand...

I've heard that MB used to have more fault-prone electronics in their cars prior to 2007, is this true? If this is in fact true, is the year 2007 correct or how is it possible to know how to check it when buying a used car? Is it the same for all models? Also, what kind of problems could...

About 4 weeks ago I took my K8 gixxer for MOT. The dealership had a nice and shiny, limited GSX-R1000Z, limited edition on display. Cut a long story short, it is no longer in the dealership, it is now in my garage :)

Just before the end of March I was toying with different car options, one being to break the vow of a lifetime and go down the lease route. So, finally made a choice of car, checked the sites and WOW! The new quarter has brought prices that are at least double the amazing deals at the end...

Just thought I would share my Mercedes ownership experience over the past 10 days. First up the 124 goes in for its annual service, brake fluid/coolant change and MOT before going back to Italy. One front spring has snapped. I had not noticed anything at all amiss. So two new front springs. New...
