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 .....:-)
 
Couldn’t you get MB at Wakefield to stick it on their diagnostic machine for a definitive answer ?

When the cluster died on my 2011 W204 the dealer just said it was dead, no further explanation than that.

Spoke with the company I’ve linked above who were very helpful but opted for a new once since MB were feeling generous and paid for some of it!
 
Star diagnostic required, is the battery on the way out? Last month the went back 2 hours on my CLK, corrected via comand and has been OK ever since.
 
Update ...... Needed a new back board and processor........all sorted and guaranteed lifetime repair Thank you Cartronix :-)
