just a quicky,have been looking around and cant find the answer to my question,what is the the easiest way to change the side light bulbs as i can not get my hands in the back of the light units:wallbash:

It may be a stupid question - but how the hell do you set the clock in the speedo of a R171 280 SLK? The manual suggests you do it via the menu's - unless you have the command system (as that gets it's time from the GPS). Well - I've got the command system, and that tells me it has the correct...

Hi all, I have a 2008 SLK 280 ('57 plate) with the 7 speed auto. When I bought the car, the only option that wasn't fitted was the paddle-shift - but as it had everything else, I wasn't that concerned. So, a couple of questions: 1. For those that have paddle-shift on a 7 speed - is it worth...

I have an lovely example of a very low mileage slk 280 but the only thing letting it down are some rusty wheel bolts on immaculate non kerb'd wheels! I looked on ebay for replacements but they seem to be for the previous model slk so other than the main dealer does anybody have a suggestion of...

Hi guys i have autoglym metal polish which is great for the most part of cleaning the tail pipe trims but on one pipe on the inner edge i have black deposits that are hard to remove with metal polish and cloth. Does anybody have a better way to get that off without scratching? Thanks,Andy.

Hi guys, Just a quickie to say is it normal to hear a few plastic/trim creaks when you drive with the roof in place? It seems 'so much better off ' than on so is there any maintenance needed to help this reduce or stop? Thanks,Andy.

I'm hoping somebody can tell me if my local service garage contact with access to a star machine with MB software up to 2010 models can possibly switch these bits on so my phone system works on the cluster/steering wheel. It already works off the head unit and the volume during a call can be...

Hi guys, As you (probably) know the dashboard in the SLK is a rough surface, what do you use to clean it??? A normal cloth leaves little bits of fluff everywhere?! Cheers! Sam

Looking for any nice looking alloys, preferably with tyres but not essential, 17" would be ideal! Cheers! Sam.

Hi guys, I currently have an Audio 20 system, looking to upgrade, so if anyone does the upgrades or simply just has the relevant bits let me know! Cheers, Sam.

Hi, I own an SLK 200 R171, i have had it for just over a year! It has Audio 20 system (Looking to upgrade for a comand system) and am also looking for some nice alloys! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sam.

Hi all, can anyone recommend a good double din unit to give my standard R171 the functionality of satnav, cd, radio, DVD, Bluetooth and a reversing camera. All advice appreciated

good evening, my mother picked up a 2007 SLK280 last week and it drove fine for the first few days, but after about 4 days sitting and then a good wash, it has put the gearbox in limp mode... anyone know why this might be happening? car only has 40k on the clock. Thanks

Me again, This time I have for sale a genuine SLK R171 wind deflector. If you have an SLK and haven't tried one of these, I can assure you they really do make a difference and are worthwhile having (no more Bridget Jones hair do's!). Very easy to fit, two brackets simply push into the hole in...

Hello, My mother picked up a 2007 SLK280 at the weekend and everything was fine until we put the roof back on and the drivers side rear quarter window didn't close all the way, you can pull it closed a bit more but obviously that's not ideal! Anyone know of this being a common fault and/or...

Hi All Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.. I spent the afternoon installing the MKi9100 kit to my SLK which has an Audio 20 stereo, the job was straight forward enough. Halfords recommended an Autoleads SOT-976 (item code 149289) the 12v battery and GND needed to be changed around on...

Hi - can anyone help me? I am looking for a Maisto diecast model of the R171 SLK 200 K in red. Thanks :thumb:

I will be visiting England for a week from next Thursday - accompanying a daughter who will be running in the London marathon on 17/04. While there i would like to buy a soft custom fit cover for a 2010 SLK. Can anyone make any recommendations as to what i should buy and where from in the...
