The driver door on our R170 SLK won't open, both the passenger and boot open and close fine but the drivers door will only open from the interior door handle and when shut will not open from the exterior. When you pull the handle it doesn't seem to be catching onto anything and there is no noise...
Hi,
We have lost a rear mudflap from the SLK.
A search for a replacement shows up no results at all.
Is mudflap the wrong term? Tried splashguard too but brought up some dodgy rally type things in blue (possibly aimed at the WRX type buyer).
Anyone have any suggestions?
As an...
We're from Rugby in the UK. Just purchased our first Merc. A 2004 R170. In silver. Sadly, as we wanted anything but silver. However this one seemed too good to miss.
Hope it gives us as much pleasure as our previous car (Toyota MR2 Mk3 )
We're not far from Mercland. Indeed we missed an SLK...

Hi guys,
Just changed my 1997 SLK 230 for a 2004 (R170) SLk 320 love the new car but the wheels look a bit lost and small with the standard front 16in x 7in alloys 205/55 and rear 16in x 8in 225/50 so I’m looking to change them
Hoping to get some sound advice from someone who has done...
Hi Chaps, I have removed the bolts and under side clips but the skirt seams to be attached underside at the jacking points. Two black circular bungs for want of a better description. How can I get it off.

Dear All
For some times I have been thinking of buying a second car for taking me to the station and week-end use, but it is only now that I have decided to make the crucial step of hunting for one. I don't want something too boring but in the meantime it has to be perfectly usable. I am...
Hi
Yes, I'm a newbie to the site, so please be gentle with me! I do though own an E270CDI Avantgarde which I bought new in 2004.

My question is: was there a pre-facelift...
