Hi ........ Newbie here
Well, I've bitten the bullet and finally realised a dream.......Always wanted a CLK ....finally found one .... it's an old one on a 54 plate, but has been well looked after and has only done 60k. 1 day after purchase and Instrument panel is doing all sorts of crazy things .......clock wizzing forwards and and backwards, warning lights coming on, warning lights going out etc ....... spoke to a couple of MB garages & Independants, and they wouldn't commit to a diagnosis, but left me under no illusion it could be EXPENSIVE ......... Anyway ...... a bit of digging about on the Internet, and I drop on a guy in Portsmouth who specialises in repairing and refurbing Instrument Consoles ..... give him a ring, he knows exactly what the problem is, and how to fix it (he does about 10 CLK Consoles a week ... gets them sent to him from all over the world !) So I can either pay someone to take the Instrument Console out and send it to Portsmouth and be carless for 3-4 days, or for £190.00, a few gallons of Diesel, and a night in a Hotel in Portsmouth I can drive the 250 miles to portsmouth and he will sort in an an hour............I can see I'm in for an interesting time with this car .....
