Great looking car, I enjoyed the video and am looking forward to seeing what you are going to do with it.
I thought it was interesting when you mentioned that it was the same engine that's in the 63 AMG but without the turbos, when you said about making more horsepower are you going to remap...
Is it a brake light switch that I should ask my local Mercedes dealership for?
I didn't even know that there was anything that moved or could stick on a brake light switch, I was under the impression that it was just a electrical switch.
Edit, after watching a video on YouTube, I see there is...
Update and conclusion.
I didn't want to drive the car whilst I knew that there was a fault with it, so it had been sitting in my garage, yesterday I had started it up while it was in the garage so I could check if the brake lights were working, the brake lights were not working at all.
I took...
Thanks for the replies!
I phoned the garage who does my MOT and has cleared a SRS warning light in the past for me, they said that the earliest they can scan it for codes is Thursday.
Once the garage has looked at it on Thursday I will let you know what the cause of it is, hopefully it is...
Hi everyone, I was hoping someone can help with this problem please?
After ten years of never having a problem with my W208 CLK 230 komp convertible (except a flat battery once) it suddenly developed a fault today when I was out driving in the middle of nowhere.

Thanks very much to everyone that took time to reply with some very helpful comments.
As mentioned above I'm aware that the main weak points with this particular model can be-
The air conditioning system, a clicking sound behind the dashboard.
Rust in the rear subframe.
The headbolts in the...
I've been looking for a second Mercedes for a while and I would like AMG, I want another convertible so I've narrowed down my options to a R230 SL 55 or a W209 CLK 55 / 63.
This had been on sale then wasn't for a while then reappeared for £15,990 and has now been reduced to £14,990...
Interestingly they talk about upgrades and that there will be a strong development path with the new cars, because I've heard Mercedes might turn up to the next test session or the first race with a substantially different car to the version of the W13 that they have already tested in Barcelona...
Took it for its MOT today, it passed! This is the eighth year in a row it passed with no advisories, I must take really good care of my car or I'm extremely lucky, or both. ;)
