So I have 7 years bad luck coming! Has anyone successfully tracked down replacement mirrors ever. Dealer will only sell me complete visor for £90 odd quid plus vat and they're almost as expensive online and I don't need a full visor just the mirror. Has anyone tried cutting a replacement...

So... Car is back and is pretty much spot on. Drives very nicely and feels safe and handles well for a big car. It's cost me £500 quid to get it put right. Bearing in mind that the car was handed back to me by an MB dealer as done (new tyres, new springs, correct alignment) what I've found is...

Indy is saying front springs are wrong for my spec of car. They are CLS springs but not rated high enough for my car. Sounds like witchcraft to me but I've told them to replace them and redo the alignment. Fingers crossed...

Took it to local Indy this morning. Agrees the car is too low at the front and doesn't handle or steer well after a drive. Booked in this Thursday for a look see and will report back. First instinct is that it has the wrong springs in the front. Should this be a surprise given an MB dealer did...

There's a full tank of fuel in there when I took the pic just now. Was empty when I first guessed so that may account for a bit of an overestimate on my part. We've a good Indy local to me so I may just pop in there and get him to drive the car and give an opinion. I really don't want to hand...

Have no way of getting the car up to check to be honest. Will the dots be visible behind the wheels? I can try sticking my phone there but there's hardly any room.

Just tried this. There's not much bounce at all on the front end - even with my substantial weight on the corner there's not much downward play and what there is bounces straight back up with no repeated bouncing. Front end just looks too low and stiff to me.

Yes MB springs and they checked the Jag dealers work when they did the front and alignment.

Apologies for the pics orientation. They were fine when uploaded. Steel suspension and MB insist they are the correct colour coded springs for the car and correctly installed. Could it be shocks?

Front Rear Car

Cheers Kenny. Any idea what the cause is though?

This bloody car is doing my nut! 2009 CLS 320cdi. Bought with 44k on the clock. Handling is dreadful. Car rolls around on poor and uneven surfaces like it's on four spacehoppers. It's had four new springs fitted by MB and has four new Pirelli P7's too. MB have done full tracking and alignment -...

Three weeks later and I have four new springs, new bushes, four new Pirelli P7's, a new rear corner suspension kit and all tracking and alignment sorted. Work done by MB and paid for by Jag dealer. Looking forward to actually enjoying the car now...

Yes you're right. Mines broken (and different to this) so hope it fits. Will keep an eye out for a dimming one just in case it isn't a straight swap.

Thanks all. This is the one: http://http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332049887077?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Just bought one of these and understand it's just plug and play. Is it just a dipping mirror or does it contain phone mics too?

Update on this. The Jag dealer I bought the car from had replaced the rear springs not the front and they had been installed incorrectly with one upside down and both with the incorrect rubber fixings. The rear suspension had also been rebuilt incorrectly. Couple that with cheap Chinese tyres...

Have got concerned enough to book the car into a dealer for a look. Been out in the frost this morning and at anything above 10 mph we're all over the place. Same on leaves and if one tyre is on a drain cover or different surface. I get that there's a lot of power going through the rear wheels...

Had a chance to have a good drive in the car now and I love it. It's had new front springs and bushes and I'm finding that the back end feels twitchy and light on its feet over pots, drains and changes of surface. Is this due to the cars power or is it a rear suspension thing. It has a...
