Hi all! new CLS350 owner from the UK
Hi all!! I hope everyone is well, my name is Jason and I am from Gloucester in the UK. This is my first every Mercedes :-)
have a few questions, I will try and find a better place on the forum to ask them but will put them here anyway :-)
Hi all - just took a punt on a 2010 CLS350. FSH, 101k miles, needs a few bits doing but got a decent price (5K)
couple of questions; I am not a fan of run flats, anyone have any experience of running these on normal tyres? it is rough at lower revs, which I have put down to a very bald front right tyre; the others are all OK but I would like to change all 4
on the dash - the part above the steering wheel - it shows km/h. I have changed every setting I can find to mph but it still stays at km/h, minor nuisance but any idea? an error pops up, says "active light function inoperative" - any ideas? temp is also constantly at +85 degrees c, never changes?
thank you all so much in advance,
Jason

So for anyone interested, little update on the CLS
1 - the battery in the car was the wrong one - too tall, not long enough and bodged to reach the terminal - was a 10 year old merc battery though!. That's now gone and replaced with a proper sized and powered varta. Resynced steering and windows etc.
2 - the front passenger side fog light was simply hanging down loose - no housing etc - ordered a salvaged replacement but...
3 - ...thats just the start! the front drivers side has the correct xenon halogen housing etc, which has now been changed (what a bugger that was!! I gave up after 2 hours and took it to halfords, stomached the cost of their xenon and £8 fitting fee and they did it, took them a long time mind!) but the opposite side has a standard bulb! the correct housing is not there!! clearly, someone changed it for an older type. That explains why the "active light function" is broken! crazy. So I put a very bright high end bulb in there for now and ill have to try and source the correct halogen xenon. Changed all the other bulbs.
4 - Ordered 4 new tyres - F1's - non runflats - Saturday installation - ordered a used space saver. Hoping that will solve the poor/ropey/shakey handling and low rev judder - all 4 current tyres are different, and 2 of them bald.
other than that - loving the car! Not sure about the black AMG wheels, especially as one is missing the merc logo in the center (ordered a replacement set from ebay for 20)
