2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK 200 K review from UK and Ireland
"The gearbox is made out of Mecano"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox, clutch and flywheel replaced at 6,000 miles.
Cruse control stalk ceased to work, replaced, but still faulty.
Electric windows often automatically open when trying to shut.
General comments?
I would never buy a Mercedes manual transmission ever again, they live up to their terrible reputation.
