Well, so far I have had the anti roll bar drop links replaced, roll bar bushes and now they fitted new thurst arms. Now that has cured a huge problem when I was braking while travelling over bumps etc. The really bad noise has gone but now I feel like theres a slight knock now and again...

Hi I just wondered if other Merc owners are aware of know issues etc.. with suspension on W203 versions. I've posted before regarding a knocking on my suspension, of which the local indepandent merc dealer replaced the antiroll bar drop links and link bushes ( I think thats correct ) but...

Problem fixed, thanks for the advice... I one touched the drivers window to the bottom and then held the button up on one touch until the window closed, but waited until I heard the window click off. That's it ,all working again.... Thanks for all who advised !! Jay

Hi It's the drivers window which has the problem. Do I just do this window or if I have to do all in order to reset, do I start with the drivers and move around in a clockwise fashion etc..

My car does, it's been working fine for years but it was yesterday when it stopped working !

Forgot to mention, the car is a W203 C320.

My electric window, one touch has stopped working. The window works fine and the one touch works if the window is being put down, but the one touch to put the window back up will not work. I have to keep my finger on the switch to make the window close. Is this something that I can look...

Merc care - and a happy owner. Well, I have just had my car in for the knocking noise on the front suspension to Merc-Care. Initially they believed it was the front antiroll bar links which were worn. They fitted these in about an hour but when I drove away the knocking was still there. I...

I have just had T1-S Proxes fitted to the rear ( 225 50 16 ) on my C320. So far so good, definately feel more confident than the Pirelli 6000's I had. I'll update on wear later.

Can anyone tell me if the front pads are easy enough to change or is there any special tool required. I changed thr rear pads on the car 6 months ago and it took about 10 mins each side, very easy. I just wondered if anyone had done the front .. any advice.. Thanks Jason

Hi My C320 ( W203 - Elegance ) ) has done 50,000 now and is just 3 years old I have had the car for the last 15 months ) and although in general I am very pleased with the car there are a couple of issues that I need advice on. 1. Basically the suspension feels quite harsh sometimes, but...

I suppose I would have to take their word for it, I suppose there's not much they can do, even giving you the empty containers does not mean they have used it in your car.

Hi On the first service done, it listed the oil as Castrol Perf ( I assume they mean Performance), but I could not find this listed, even on Castrol's web site. Then the second service listed Magnetic, not sure which grade. I do think the fully synth would be best and the service B is...

Hi Thanks for the advice, there is no brake problem, I suppose I just wanted to look at the options of replacing them with something possibly better, but did'nt want to do a major overhaul, just replace the discs. Thanks Jay

I have a C320 ( W203 ) Elegance saloon. My Local Mercedes dealer told me to only use semi-synth oil as this was the recommnded type by Mercedes. I have been using Castrol Magnetic. Can I use fully syth oil and if so what grade, could I use a 5 - 40W etc... or should I just stick to semi...
