http://pointedthree.com PointedThree - R230 SL Class http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=8745 I needed to replace the ashtray since the Mercedes Dealer in Abu Dhabi, UAE (Car now in Switzerland) tried to force open the lid in his wild efforts to free a coin that was jammed in there.
Given that I am very much into DIY for my W163, I decided to do the job myself.
Here are the picture documented Instructions in case anyone else might feel the urge to do the same.

Any help would be appreciated!]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=20517 Is there any way to resolve this?
I have heard of a small plastic piece that can be removed or do I really have to hammer the gear stick down?
I am in Essex UK, are there any reputable garages/mobile mechanic that can be recommended?
Many thanks

One of their customers just ordered a SLR , and wanted 722 RIMS. I was able to sanp up these for my SL (2650 Euros). The original price is 9'000 Euros.
Am I nuts?......well I'll be waiting until spring to mount them.

PM me]]> http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/showthread.asp?tid=8937 I know that some have installed or considered integrating an iPod charger in their MB's and wanted to LYK that the newest Nano may present some cradle/charger fitment issues as relating to finger control of the lower portion of the dial.

As you can see in the lower photo, the pause/stop button portion will be blocked when the Nano is insterted into most drop-in style chargers. Of course this is not an issue for the dangle type charging plugs.

Good luck!
