    Hi! I recently bought a CLK 500. Runs good but there are some electrical (I think) problems. 1) First problem is that my front headrests don't work. Both of them, which is weird. When I press the button on the door panel I hear a click and the headrest goes down or up a couple of mm. When I...

    Happy to join!

    Really hope we can share some knowledge. I love to work on cars and I've just bought a 2008 CLK 320 (V6 Diesel) Cabriolet (A209) and although it's been well cared for there are a few typical things to deal with. First question: anyone know where I can download a mechanics service manual? Thanks!!

    Hopefully a simple question... My 2005 CLK will require a Service A in 4 weeks time according to the dashboard. I have it booked for an MOT in 7 weeks time. What happens if I ignore the service warning and wait for the MOT?
