Re: Using the Dash Clock on a 2008 R230 SL550

I couldn't agree more. I was going to tape over the dash clock so I wouldn't stare at the wrong time until I remembered that I could "set" the clock by withdrawing the negative cable at noon. Well, I thought you might be interested to know that the cable-pull trick actually works. So, until you find ...

Re: Using the Dash Clock on a 2008 R230 SL550

A previous owner removed the entire COMMAND system when they swapped out the head unit in my 2003. The end result is that my car's secondary settings menus are inaccessible. The clock setting is the only thing I truly miss. So, to set the clock, I disconnect the negative line from the back battery ...

Very astute of you to come up with the answer and put it into action. Seems suitable. Great work. How did you plan to use the junkyard? Why not go visit your neighborhood junkyard and inquire? As an alternative, perhaps something more complex?

Quite intriguing. How simple was it to just walk right in? What do you think? Is there a photo album?

In search of a bumper cover grill for my 2003 CLK 430

For my 2003 CLK430, I need a bumper cover grill in silver. Here is the part number for your reference: 2088850022. I am getting the entire front bumper replaced since I damaged it, but the repair shop informed me that they don't have the part anymore.

Does anybody know of a location I can get this ...

Re: In search of a reliable Ford dealer

I made my most recent purchase at Camelback Ford in Phoenix, Arizona, in September, however the travel was somewhat long. Even though my house is in Arizona, my family and I drove the 250 miles from our home in Southern California to the dealership for the hassle-free buying process and, as an added ...
