I have a CLK 320 1998. Here is the problem. When the temprature goes to the high 90s the engine cuts out, and wont start until the temp drops to say 90. The fan seems to work when it wants to, but does not seem to come on when the temp is close to 100, which I assume is what is causing...

I have just bought a secondhand 6310i to go in the arm rest phone cradle on my 2004 E Class, unfortunately something isn't working. The phone on its own appears to be working perfectly and all the connectors look fine. Does anybody know why the Audio20 just says "Processing" and the console...

Folks The E55 has been in the workshop for nearly 2 weeks but the delay is due to the front bumper/spolier being on back order from Germany. They can't give me an eta so does anyone now where I can source a brand new one for them sharpish? Thanks

The SLK autobox is acting up. The last 2 mornings it's showed up a fault. From a cold start it seems to leap into gear, either R or D - need to brake hard to stop it moving forward. Then refuses to shift up from 1st. Stubbornly remains on D on the dashboard display despite moving the...

I have been searching the MB WIS to find out why my retrofit outside temp indicator may never have worked. I got to a point where the retrofit instructions (which I never had before) state to followed by checking for proper function. Sounds promising but the question is - what on earth...

My brother has a w210 E200K (2000) with just under 50k miles. Over the last couple of days it has developed a clunking noise when pulling off and braking. Seems to originate from the drivers side. I have had a quick check of the ball joints and a visual check underneath and nothing appears...

:confused: I've been stumped on ideas for the Non-K C230 that I own. I want to mod it like my other cars, but there is almost nothing out there. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking about KLEEMAN or BARBUS, but they don't make things for my car anymore or least not on their site or I'm just...

Merry Xmas all, I have tried pressing the remote on my 2001 SLK to open it and nothing works (Maybe it's upset as I haven't washed it for a few weeks!). I then used the key to open the car and that worked, but set the alarm off! Managed to get the alarm to stop by starting the car! The...

I think Top Gear needs some fresh thinking. Scrap the star/car bit for a start - its had its day. Any thoughts on some new ideas for the program? I shall kick off by suggesting a spot where they compare high performance cars of the '90s vs today's equivalent. eg 129 SL60 vs 130 SL55...
