guide

Hi all , I'm pretty clued up with CLK's , as i have owned a few of them , but never a 55 ... Is there anything specific to the 55 to look for when buying ? any common failures / things to look for that only occur on that model ?

I like to collect these for the SL, so thought 190E Cosworth owners (or people looking for one), might be interested to know that there's a 3 page 190E Cosworth buying guide in the 5th Septmember Autocar mag.

Just came across this while searching the web. Has some interesting links within the document. Maybe of interest to SL55 AMG owners or those contemplating owning one. 5MB pdf doc. http://www3.sympatico.ca/gmacgruer/0_MB_SL55_AMG.pdf

hello all, I'm a neebie here and was wondering if there was a SL350 (2003+) buyers guide anywhere on the site. I've had a good search through the forum but unable to see any existing threads so forgive me if there is. I've popped a deposit on a rather nice 48k 2004 model and I'm picking...

Looking at an S320cdi, what would you advise, my budget is up to £4k. Looking around on the web this enables me a newer 04 plate with 200k miles on or and older W/51 plate with 100k on the clock. I think the 04 plate is the slight facelift as it as the clear head lights and command system...

I've just bought an IBM Thinkpad T23 laptop to connect via Carsoft 7.4 to a MB Multiplexer for diagnostic work. However it doesn't have an IBM User Guide, either in hard copy or on the hard drive. So I googled and found plenty of sites with the Maintenance Guide, and plenty that said User Guide...

Hi, does anyone know of any threads or useful how tos on the net for removing and refitting the cylinder heads on a 2007 E320 CDI sport, engine type 642 940. I have managed to suck up a load of water and blow the head gasket on my pride and joy.:eek: I have searched for days now but cannot...

I've recently found and fitted a set of OEM 8-hole alloys to my S124. As usual, this little project turned out to be a bit more complicated than I'd expected, but I learned a lot along the way. So, for those looking to restore classic looks and ride quality to their 90's Merc, hopefully the...

Sorry to make another thread...but I ran into another problem, it's been a long day. For some reason, and only on the driver side, one of the holes where the caliper guide pin goes into the bracket were completely stripped of its threads. The pin itself is fine. I don't know how or when this...
