I need a new battery for my 2006 CLK 350 Convertible, and need to know what is the best one to buy with the most power. I have looked on Ebay which in many listings the battery that will fit has the best performance measures 353mm long, but the maximum the battery can be fitted in the tray is...

Hi all - picking up my first Mercedes on Saturday - it's an '09 211 E320 CDI Sport Estate in silver. Drives like it just came off the production line despite its miles and age. Can't wait if I'm honest. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and found this forum invaluable for pointers...

Just had two-tone interior refurbed and a fair chunk of mechanical work done but it still needs a few quid spending on it (paintwork and tyres for the monoblocks that are not currently on the car) but it's certainly tempting...

can anyone give me an idea what is the checklist under these circumstances please? I've managed to get the engine to run reasonably smoothly but i understand that the duty cycle should be up at 50% but when i try and make the mixture richer, it dies. Possibly faulty temp sensor? EHA? If i...

Still struggling to work out why my plugs are still misfiring after going to a hotter plug and now NOT seeing the awful black shiny blob of oil on the plugs (previously) but getting a different kind of 'reading'. Is it possible that with my adjustement of the mixture screw that my new LEAN...

One for you detailers out there.. This is the product I'm selling [snow foam not included]. Photo of the exact item you will receive is below. Please note it has the Bosch connection, so is only suitable for Bosch pressure washers. It's almost as new - I bought it in 2010 and used it a...

...rise cancelled for January and reduced for August.

Does the price of fuel limit your mobility? Following on from the fuel thread where it was clear that we pay a fair bit of tax on petrol I was wondering how necessary it is to tax at the rate we do? Is it possible that the quantity of tax raised could be increased by dropping the rate? From...

Anyone who needs fuel would be well advised to top-up today. If you leave it until after the bank holiday weekend, it's likely to cost around 3.5p extra per litre due to the combined effects of the rises in fuel duty (from tomorrow) and VAT (from Tuesday). UK motorists set to be hit by rising...

Hello, I've recently taken ownership of a UK 1992 230E and have a few questions regarding the duty cycle reading I'm getting. So far I've checked the plugs and they are fine, a little carbon but overall brownish-white and in good condition. I've changed plug leads for new Bosch ones and the...

Hi, Contemplating the switch from Audi to Mercedes-Benz, so thought I'd get the inside track from the real world users here. I've also owned VWs, BMWs, and even a Lexus (what a huge mistake), but starting to see the errors of my ways. I love the latest C-Class, and think it is a...

My CLK on wedding duty earlier this month (not my wedding) just thought i would share a pic!

Normally I wouldnt really bother with these, but with Petrol around £1.16 in my area enough is enough. HERE

For all motorist. When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in your fuel costs. Sign the...

Just a quickie: My 300ce-24 has a catalyst. Cold start excellent and smooth, as always. It has some hesitation problems when warm so I checked again the duty cycle, fully warmed up. Ignition on, engine off - 50% solid. Ignition on, engine idling - 50% +/- 4 or 5%. - settles back to this...

These have only been on the car for a week, as new condition. I still have the original boxes for these in good condition. Here are the codes... 2 x Bilsten B4 V36-0361 Front Shock Heavy Duty 2 x Bilstein B4 B36-1385 Rear Shock Heavy Duty These are OEM so they are the perfect replacement for...

Just a brief reminder that there is due to be a rise in fuel duty on 1 April - 2p per litre. :mad:

My garage is starting to resemble Baghdad on a bad day and I risk losing the Smart under a cardbox box landslide of christmas decorations, car polish, and spare electrical stuff. Does anyone have any heavy duty (able to hold a decent amount of weight) shelving available in the...
