Hi All, SO finally bought a clk w209 320 and i love it. It had some error messages on the dash which the dealer sorted (common coolant message which resulted in new radiator/fan assembly and sensor in washer bottle). I now have this clicking sound when I turn the key in the ignition...

Just had an issues that I hope is very minor. Car was cool to warm. Started the engine and all was fine, no warnings and it sounded normal. As I was getting out of a long car park I didn't really give it any gas. When I tried to give it some gas the car did not accelerate any more even...

As per the title - what go you into / made you want to follow your chosen career path? Was there a trigger event? Did you just "fall" in to it or was there a magic "ta-da" moment?

It's taken a few years to move out of the dark ages, but I'm ready to start thinking about a media server. All of our CDs are now stored on disk (including a full backup on an external drive that siis in the new car :) ). What I want to do now is start putting on a fairly large DVD...
