    People are unbelievable.

    Strange engine problem - help

    Thanks Tim 203. I like the common rail suggestion. I did actually have a common rail error code with engine management lamp come up a couple of weeks ago. At the time I thought nothing of it and simply reset it in diagnostics. I try and look in that area. Cheers.

    W210 Suspension question - I am lost...

    I had a W210 and the front off side suspension mount failed - it had corroded off. It may be worth having a look. It is quiet difficult to see as the black stuff they use on the welding covers most of the spot welded seams. I had a new mount fitted and seam welded. I did contact Mercedes as I...
