Hi all. Does anyone have a recommended source for MB parts such as the aircon blower fan for an SLK? I've found two websites that appear to have the part except that I strongly suspect they are the same organisation and are not a UK source...

Have been looking for the last 6 months but can't find one I've been happy with yet. Will consider any colour except black. Must have options Airscarf Parking sensors - wife will be driving it too.

We've left the car parked for several months at my uncles warehouse... I wish I was joking but a bloody mouse has munched through the wiring to the brake booster's sender right at the multi plug.... ...And the furry little sod has nicked about 6 inches of loom So I've got several bare wires...

Having fitted new boot struts and generally tidied up the wife's recently bought low mileage SLK I have continued in my quest to make the car as good as it can possibly be. Next on the agenda was the poor radio reception for some of the less well known stations I like to listen to. I trawled...

Hi guys (and ladies) I haven't been online for a while but thought I had to tell you about a recent experience I've had with my car. I needed a few jobs doing on my car R171 (SLK 280) and as in normal for me went to a specialist MB servicing garage, Star Auto Services, these guys are fairly...

I'm going to get the steering wheel controls surrounds carbon dipped, along with a few other bits of interior ... So, I bought a spare buttons assembly, cleaned it (it was pretty good anyway), took it apart and ready: Not a single scratch on these, great. Now, as I was taking...

Got my 2009 R171 SLK 280 automatic in July and love it except for two things. Firstly the steering wheel is too big. Anyone know if this can be changed for a chunkier, smaller diameter wheel (without paddles)? Secondly my car has the cupholders which are not practical. Can they be removed and...

Hello all, need a front bumper for a 2004 SL350 sport, bumper needs to have holes for parking sensor and the Xenon washer. Colour not important as I'll be getting it resprayed. Thanks.

Hi club mates, I am being frustrated in trying to find genuine Mercedes moulded rear mud flaps for my SLK R171. Merc garage say they are not available, but I have found some on an American web site, only problem they show a photograph with them fitted and there is an absence of the plastic...

The surface on the glovebox/dash etc. seems to be some kind of textured material so if I use normal cloths it leaves "bits" behind. What do other people use?

Eventually found this in passenger footwell (no cigarette lighter) and discovered that it does not work - due in no small part to not being connected and in bits! LOL So, anybody know the part number for a new socket please? Doubtless, MB charge an arm and a leg so is there an OEM part I...
