In a bid to modernise the outside of my w208 a little, I've bought a pair of plastic, German-style number plate holders.
Some cretin has installed the existing plates using screws, and only in two of the four holes. As a result, I'm assuming I'll need to grab some new bolts to fit my shiny...
Morning
Has anyone experience of fitting a set of 7.5 j x 16 et41 wheels with 215 55 16 tyres to a 208 clk?
I'm basically worried they, fronts in particular, will stick out too far and look wrong.
Any thoughts / pics would be great
Thanks
I have owned my 2000 CLK230 for a few years now and would like to connect my iPod to the stereo. When I bought the car the previous owner told me that there was a lead fitted in the boot which would allow me to do this. At the time most of my music was on cd so I really didn't pay too much...

Hi folks
My w208 is off to the garage tomorrow to have the tracking sorted, and I've asked them to take a look at a potential problem with the steering while it's there.

Hello all, newbie here!
I'm attempting to recommission a 1999 CLK 230 Cabriolet that's been laid up for almost 3 years.
At the moment I've got it running and driving and have stripped most of the interior to get it properly dried out.
So far I've encountered quite a few electrical...
Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone can help?
You know the knurled plastic knob which fits on the right hand side of the seat to be able to adjust seat height? Mine has fallen off, so my seat is permanently in the "down low" position.
Usually you can adjust it to support more behind the knees...
I managed to get 4 H&R lowering springs and two new rear Bilstein shocks for the winter run a round as I felt it sat too high previously. Had them fitted today and whilst the ride is dandy I think the rear is just a tad too low.
Can anyone confirm what sizes the shim nib pads come in and are...

If so, where are the fog lamp fuses...in the boot?
Cheers

I have warnings on my dash, ABS , BAS, ESP, Visit Workshop. I did, and was told it was the O/S/F ABS sensor or the toothed ring on the hub. I stripped the hub off the car and found that the toothed ring was badly rusted. I cleaned it up with a wire brush on my Dremel. No improvement! I am...
