She got this a few months back but since I just realized that yalls don't get this model in the UK, I wanted to do a quick write up on it.
It takes a little getting use to, as far as looks. The front looks amazing, but the side makes it look a little like a station wagon.
The front looks...
I have been scouting around for some sort of roof rack for the W140 - eBay sellers either didnt want to post abroad or the prices were crazy (local Halfords wanted €180 for a Mont Blanc after market system, for example).
I was getting a bit frustrated until last night when I spotted an...

Picked my car up this afternoon (02 E320 CDI estate) from Bristol and drove back to Plymouth and have to say Im chuffed to bits with it. It actually drives better than my 09 CLK 320 I had a few weeks ago, at least it steers straight!
Anyway, Ive got a couple of questions for you all:
1) The...
Due to pick up our SLK in two weeks time. (Can't wait).
Currently own VVC MGF (Nightfire red) that we will sorely miss when she is sold, but.......
Here are a list of helpful sites that we picked up on the way that you may or may not find helpful on a generic basis. (I'm not linked to any sites...
Hi,
Just picked up my new car from Mercedes Transport in Milton Keynes. A good mate of mine works for Mercedes F1 and got me on the lease deal which has fantastic pricing. Anyway ordered a 350 CDI Sport estate base with no extra's as the lease is only 12 months then you hand it back and get a...
After having spent five frustrating days moving home I finally got to pick up the E500 today.
I was impressed by;
- the 7G box (bangs up and down through the ratios like nobody's business)
- the air suspension/parameter steering/dynamic seats - (makes cornering more fun than it should be in...
I am now a happy owner of a W209 CLK 55 AMG :bannana:
The car is great I have done a couple of hundred miles in it already and love it. Its got almost all the extras apart from keyless go. I am sure I will have lots more questions as soon as I have played with it a bit more. Performance wise...
First impressions... a bit speechless really!:bannana:
A totally different animal to the C43, animal being the operative word. Steering directness and response is very un-mercedes like - the feedback gives you instant confidence, unlike the C43 which takes a while become confident with through...
Oh dear, talk about a mission! I bet this will make some of you laugh!
So I put a deposit on the car a few days ago and planned to catch a train up to swansea to check out the car on friday and hopefully pick it up. Today I took a half day and was all ready to go when I thought it might be...
Short story picked up 1 yr old e220cdi and tbh hadnt been cleaned too well and not entirely happy with handover but wasnt too bothered and planned to come home and give it a quick clean up, anyway after getting to the rear passenger side I noticed that the gap between the bumper and the light...
Auto Trader UK - MERCEDES-BENZ CLK55 Tip
Looks/sounds like a nice car for someone, not bad value either considering how rare the '55 cabs are and the low mileage :cool:
Seems that a lot of the rare cars are appearing all of a sudden!
Seen several R129 SL60s and also a couple of W208...
I picked up my 2001 ML320 Saturday after the Volvo garage that I bought it from, after them sending it to mercedes for a warning light, apparently it had an electrical fault in the steering column that required the steering column being replaced costing them £700.
Forgetting that, I’m so so...

Just got my car back from Merc at Whitefield after having the CAT and exhaust replaced on warranty! It was serviced a couple of weeks ago and I had noticed a slight vibration from the exhaust when it had heated up. On inspection I noticed a broken bracket and asked the garage to replace during...
Some may remember my last thread about looking for a W124 estate, well I eventually went for a 1991 model from Pistonheads for £650, with 203k on the clock and Mostly mercedes main dealer service history up to about 180k.
It never had any problems on my 320+ mile drive home and seemed...
