Hi all ,I am new to here , My name is Darren and i am man in despair , My C220 Cdi 2002 needed a new osf spring replaced , failed the mot ! . Thought i could do it myself :D, I bought correct springs and a Screwfix compressor , disaster :eek:! . I couldnt do it and ended up taking it to a man who knows a man and he replaced the spring.:bannana: Excellant i thought , put the assembly back on the car and now there is clearance on both top mount points in the engine bay :mad:. ( a gap that i never noticed before between the little bar shaped thing and the black circle on the top cone. I am not a technical man and cant remember if there should be a gap or not. Plus if i only had one spring done so far , why do i have the clearance on both sides , car sits flat and level , with equal space from arches to tyre tops. Had the car for 4 yrs and have 170.000 on the clock , I have donea 100k of that, goes like a train and gives me 55mpg , I LOVE IT !

Please help !!
