some diesel purge through it, & i remember an adjustment of the

I'm considering the purchase or lease of a new CLK 320 coupe to replace my
2002 BMW 330 when my current lease expires. I hear the 2006 CLKs will have
some improvements. Does anyone know what these will be and when the 2006
model will be introduced?

I own a SL600 in the UK and note that there are quite a few questions
about these unbelievable machines in this group and some others spread

Can't figure out why my oil pressure stays above 30 psi at warm idle on my
W115 240D (616 4 cyl. diesel). Always before, I've seen it down below 15. Of

Is this cause for concern, or rejoicing?

The '06 ML model being shown on MBUSA has converted its console into a
cup holder & tray - the electric shifter moves to the column. The ML
also will have the new 3.5 L V-6 and seven speed transmission - just

but that's another whole story and don't ask or I'll have to go back
on my meds again) and it came out with just a scratch under the trunk
lock, however the exhaust/muffler pipes were pushed forward about 1/2

Today, as I was trying to find out what a brakepad replacement would cost
on my C230K SportCoupe, I noticed that the C Class coupe does not appear
on the MBUSA website any longer.
The C Coupe has actually been fairly popular in my neck of the woods, so

The new Mercedes-Benz 'showroom' at Brooklands in southern England is
nearing completion.  Then there will be two more in Manchester and
Birmingham.

I recently bought a '98 C230.  I've only had the car about 3 weeks.
