Hi all,
Just bought my first MB and have some issues. I picked up a secondhand W reg CL500 on 120k miles for what I'm hoping is a bargain, however there are a couple of things that may prove an expensive fix. Nb the car has black leather interior in vvgc, no apparent corrosion, is dead straight everywhere.
Second issue (first already posted re seat)- the engine seems to lack grunt while driving. When sat in neutral or park and revving it, it will redline no problem. While driving though, it doesn't seem to want to "go", acceleration seems sluggish.
The transmission doesn't seem to have any issues, both in manual shift and auto it changes up and down readily enough.
Any ideas please?
