Might be very difficult to find the part number. No its not me. Bought this car from him though. Did not know he was on the forum :thumb::thumb:

Hi Mazza, Did not check the springs yet. I am away unfortunately :wallbash: I am sure that the car is an import because it does have the solid protection under tray under the engine. I guess my car has a special suspension set up to adapt with challenging road conditions. But they look awful...

Thanks a lot for the replies guys! Really much appreciated!!:thumb::thumb: I ordered some H&R springs (lower by 30mm). I guess that the springs will lower the car much more than 30mm? Am I right? :dk: From what I found on the VIN decoder website, my car comes from Mauritius. So, it is...

Another photo :confused:

Hi, I have a 1992 W124 230E and the ride height is weird. I never saw a w124 sitting that high before . It just does not look right. I am very doubtful that it has stock suspension set up. I decoded the VIN of my car through a russian website. I found out that my car has "Harder springs". I...

I have one more question which might help me identify the problem. If the discs were warped, are they supposed to vibrate and to make a loud rubbing noise while braking at high speed? Thanks ;)

I was thinking that the transmission oil level needs to be checked. My car has the 722.9 transmission and does not have a dipstick nor the red cap. Is there a way to check the level without removing the pan? Thanks :D

Hi, I agree that it is worth looking at the bushes/linkages before replacing the brake discs. Thanks for letting me know. The vibration is like I am putting pressure against something which is spinning. So, it is like something is rubbing but not gripping. This makes a horrible and disturbing...

When I apply the brakes at high speed, the whole car vibrates. The passengers can feel it as well. So, I guess that I should replace the brakes discs. I am currently away and it would be impossible for me to check whether I should replace the back or front discs. It would really help if you...

Actually my transmission does not hang in lower gears. It shifts really hard when cold. The 1st to 2nd upshifts and 3rd to 2nd downshifts are very hard when transmission is still cold. But once warmed up, everything is fine. Does anyone, has a clue what is the issue? Thanks :)

Hi, I have a 1992 W124 and I have a problem while braking at very high speed. When I am driving about 100 mph, the car vibrates when I apply the brakes. I heard that this might be due to warped brake discs. Would appreciate to know your opinion. Thanks :thumb:

Hi everyone, Bough a 2004 S500 3 months ago. What a great car I must say! :thumb: Will post photos soon :cool:

Good evening, 3 months ago, I bought a 2004 W220 S500 with 80,000 miles on the clock. What a powerful car I must say. Engine runs great, overall condition is excellent. :rock: The only concern I have is the transmission. When it is still cold, it shifts very rough from 3rd gear to 2nd. So...
