My boss has finally persuaded me to get a Blackberry so I'll have email access more easily if travelling. Fair enough. But I've had Nokias since 1993 and I am finding that setting the Blackberry up to be a massive ballache. I can't set the phone up to do the simplest things - like alter...

Making the most of the weather today, time for new front discs/pads, also have new bottom ball joints, as i have a slight judder at 60mph, but just noticed one steering damper( which is what i assume to be) is leaking, Now would this be the likely culprit? i do not want to change the ball...

Hi all, had the SL for 2 weeks now and I have to say that I never ever thought I would have the privalige of driving such a fantastic car! I'm looking forward to many years of Merc V8 motoring (trouble free hopefully) and will post more often. :bannana: Does anyone take their motors to classic...

Had a MOT advisory notice on both front ones and will need fixing/replacing at some point soon. Now I was reading the forum and user N/B had them done at quite a good independent mercedes garage in london somewhere. However can contact him as I dont have anough posts yet(maybe someone else can...

Hi all, the old merc is going into the garage in the morning with a terrible squeaking noise from the NSF I had thought it was a dry bushing but after some lubrication it still squeaks......reading some posts it sounds like it may be the ball joints................... Can anyone advise as it...

Hi all, After so long I'm back to pick your brains again! Today my local fortune tellers (MOT) have failed my trusty car on a "offside front suspension ball joint" it has excessive play. I know this was caused by a very well placed 14ins deep pot hole that I hit in the dark last weekend...

I found the source of the noise in my fourtrak - it appears to be spitting out ball bearings from the gearbox! wonder why?

So yesterday I had my winter tyres fitted on the 201 and on the way home I started getting a horrible noise coming from the front O/S. It sounded like a rubbery graunchy sort of noise when turning the steering wheel. Initially I thought it was a tyre rubbing but concluded that it couldn't be...

Hi all Not a regular poster but here for some help and advice. I have a E320 04 plate that has been squeaking at the front end. I knew it was suspension related and in all probability a dry bush of sorts. This weekend this has turned into a "knock" when turning the wheel and pulling away and...

I just can't help myself...although I have no desire to change the C63 I just felt the need for, well.....a change. I'm sure many of you just know what I mean and I'm some will just think I'm a V8 short of a piston! So, whilst the C63 wasn't in the firing line, this meant my long suffering...

Hi folks, anyone got an idea of how much it would cost for replacing a front lower suspension ball joint? My beloved 230ce has just failed it's MOT - first time in 20+ years and there's me thinking these Mercs were meant to be reliable!!!!! I'd normally take my beloved to a specialist garage...

The title says it all. While fettling my front brakes on the E300TD, I've noticed what appears to be excessive play in the inboard tie rod ball joint on the driver's side. Is this a common problem ? So far, I have not removed the boot. Is there lube in there ? Is this adjustable ? Do they...
