r172

A friend of mine recently totaled his slk350 2012 which is the same model as mine except for the color. His front lights were in excellent condition which means I purchased them, I was wondering if anyone knows what I need to have the new lights installed correctly on my vehicle. Thanks...

looking for a right side Slk rear light complete, without breaks or cracks. regards

This Friday I'll have had my R172 for four weeks, so it's high time I took stock of the ownership experience so far. I make no apology for drawing various comparisons with my previous SLK, and with my Yeti (which I've also been getting to know over the past month). Driving it Well...

I got an overnight loaner (non Performance Pack) from Mercedes Tonbridge (MBUK demo car) and did around 350 miles in it. In my mind, this was the ideal replacement for my CLS55. Initially, I was utterly seduced, and was sure I was going to order one. By the next day, I had decided it was not...

Question for Alfie/Richard, probably... One of the most useful features on my R171 is that easy entry/exit puts the driver's seat back when getting out - particularly handy when there's not enough room to open the door fully in car parks. It also helps to prevent scuffing the seat bolsters...

Does anyone have a contact at an MB dealer with an SLK55 demo? Am thinking of getting one, but want to test one properly. It's great that a panoramic roof is finally available on the SLk. Thanks.

Hello, Does anyone know how to keep the DRLs on at the same time as the headlights? The DRLs looks great in the day but when it gets dull outside the auto headlights kick in and the DRLs go off. Any help would be great! Thanks, Liam

Hi, considering a new SLK to replace wife's Volvo C30 D5 R-Design, the PCP on which is due to end in Dec. Looking to do PCP again, need to keep payments low, without making it too basic. Would be an SLK200 manual 'SE' (she doesn't want auto). The car will do less than 8000 miles p.a. I don't...

Morning all, Just signed up this morning after recommendation from Ricky who I met on "the other forum". I met Ricky for the first time in person at Goodwood last week at the AMG event. My car is my second Mercedes but my first from new. My first was an ML55AMG which I had for just about a...

Colleague at work picked up his new R172 yesterday - it's gorgeous. I'm not jealous. Not one bit. :) Small question. He doesn't seem to be able to get voice recognition working other than by using the iPhone button. (connected via bluetooth) He has the Map Pilot coming, and I know that...

After enjoying a couple of weeks in my new car and all morning cleaning it I thought I'd share some pics with everyone.

Well today is collection day, I have had a fair bit of pressure from the dealer to complete today so they can meet a target. As such I have asked for various incentives and they have now obliged :) So at around 5:15 i shall be having my new SLK, ordered on the 24th April, to the specification...

Just wondering if there were any conversions on the market yet to make the old SLK look a little more like the very pretty new frontage?

This months Star Diagnosis (March 2011) updates just popped through the door. It contains Telematics (flash) updates for W204 C, W207 / W212 E, W218 new CLS W172 (new SLK), W204 MY2012 With the 204/212 updates it has CD and DVD versions (which I think means updates for more than just...

Anyone seen these pics before, I would put money on it not looking like this but you never know
