Maarten - found your post when looking for help. I have exactly the same problem as you on my 1996 E220 coupe. Did you manage to fix yours? Cheers, Jude.

I desperately need one of these, including glass, for my 1996 UK car - mine was smashed off while the car was parked. I have the painted mirror cover and the inch wide centre trim that goes round the circumference of the mirror so don't necessarily need those bits. Mine has the wiring passing...

Update on my car - the diff has been fitted and the old girl purrs like a kitten on goldtop again. Result. The whole repair was about £300 all in. The diff was from a 1995 M111 engined car, and mine is a Jan 1996 M111 car so no problems with compatibility. I paid £200 plus postage for the...

Yes Chris. My mechanic told me yesterday that after testing the car he found out that it is definitely the differential. This is good news as I found a diff off a 111K mile car with full history for £125. Hopefully my car will be back on the road by the end of the week. The car I am getting...

The whine does not change tone when going round a bend. My mechanic (who is Merc trained) is pretty sure it's the diff. It's going in to him tomorrow so I will know soon enough. He has some gadget(s) that he attaches to the prop and diff that can tell him if they are the culprit. I've found...

They would have to be from a cheap Chinese tractor to make that noise. They are decent matched Goodyears all round.

My 54K miles 1996 E220 coupe has developed a whirring noise that is speed sensitive - the faster the car goes the louder it gets. When I put the car into neutral while driving the noise does not stop, so I'm assuming it is not transmission related. Possibly rear wheel bearings? It does not...

Many thanks all. Looks like I may be giving AE Carcraft a call...

Dave, re Nick F's reply above. Did you have both your W124 wings done at the same time? Any issues with paint matching? My car is 'brilliant silver' and I think has been garage kept most of its life so the paint does not appear faded. Many thanks. Jude

Excellent, many thanks chaps!!

Can anyone recommend a bodyshop in the South East (preferably Surrey) to paint and fit a new front wing for my 1996 W124 coupe? Cheers. Jude

Thanks Graeme. The last time I tried Mercedes Croydon for a manual for my old 230CE I waited weeks and then they got me the wrong manual. Thought I would try people in the know first! Would someone be able to post a photo of the cover of their manual that covers my car, so I can put...

Hi all. After a few years away from Mercs I've just bought a nice Jan 1996 W124 E220 coupe (only 52K!) It came without a manual/handbook - how can owners lose these? The car is quite highly specced - electric seats (driver with memory settings), infra-red central locking plus everything else...
