    Squeaky noise

    sorry about delay, working!!! ball joint cost under £10. But it's a pig to fit, needing a press and coil spring compressors. You have to make sure the lower susp arms are refitted back in the same place as they are adjustable. best of luck, mate.

    Squeaky noise

    squeak. Hi, I have a 300E and had the same squeaking noise. I found out that it was the lower suspension ball joint. I replaced that one then found that the other side noisey also.

    auto box slippage. 300e

    thanks for getting back to me to quickly. mileage unknown but all controls are VERY clean (i.e. under 100k). I havn't changed the oil yet but it didn't seem to help too much on my last merc, a 190e 2.0 with similar probs.

    auto box slippage. 300e

    hi all, just joined and was wondering if anyone has a reason for my 1988 4sp auto box slips when changing gear, usually when cold. it's just as if it loses all gears just for a second and the engine revs up. any thoughts?!?! :)
