I have a SLK200K which I bought that had received a trivial back end tap. I replaced the rear bumper and had the o/s rear panel repaired and it now looks good! The only problem is with the operation of the roof/windows. When the roof is closed, all fits well and level, but when the roof is...

For someone looking for 2 seater, convertible fun, pre 2001, would you look at a R170 (SLK320) or R129 (SL320) ? A friend of mine is in the process of selling an early Z3 and wants to "upgrade", but doesn't want to get into post 2001 road tax. I don't have any knowledge of the R170, so can't...

Is there an easy way to identify if an SLK R170 has Bose speakers? Looking at various adverts that claim to have Bose, they do not seem to have the usual Bose badge on the front door speakers like in other cars. Are they labelled Bose on the rear speakers behind the drivers seat or anywhere...

Guys, Different SLK's come with different options and hence the number of switches can differ (the minimum is 3 I believe). Can someone tell me function of the sixth black switch is in the centre console in the picture - From memory, I know two are heated seats, one is tow, one is traction...
