Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the ad.
s-l1600.jpg Recently got the above and have to say so far I am very impressed,economical (Had a X3 3,0i before) and quite fast (Reported to have been remapped).
Bought it with a few known faults. Brake pad W/light on (Turned out to be a pad sensor fallen out). Hand brake seized (Easy repair I hope) and Glow plug light comes on for about 60 secs once engine started.(Will see if it causes problems).
Enjoy tinkering with my cars and making them my own.
This is my 3rd Merc (CLK 230 & E55) in a long history of cars and all the others have been reliable so here's to happy times!

Welcome, nice looking car

Probably needs new Glow Plugs, they do fail, get Barum ones (IIRC)

Its worth fixing the glow plugs, you'll get better mpg. The engine still uses glow plugs when running if it is cold.

Welcome. My glow plugs failed on my CLK270CDI at about 75K miles.
