There seems to be a widespread expectation of a 20 percent or more drop in the value of the dollar compared to the Euro. If you know you are going to buy that European vehicle, now might be better than later.

I have to replace the air mass meter (sensor) for 1999 CLK 320. It looks like an easy DIY - is there anything I have to be careful about? The computer will need to be reset - is there a way to do it by myself? I have an option of purchaing a BOSCH or an aftermarket part of e-bay.

On the 2002 E-320 there are 2 latches on either side in addition to the one in the center. Our driver side latch doesn't always seem to catch for some reason unless you press very HARD on that side. Anyone know a way to adjust that? It seems pretty solid with no adjustment.
