Feel your pain chap , my girly came back once with the front bumper hanging off,apparently she 'parked where she always parks ' but happens this time pulled the bumper off, I hope you did the proper response of a sigh ,and say , as long as your ok while while calculating how many hours of your...

Cheers for the suggestion Grober , I tried that the spring was a bit grubby so ended up under the car to wipe the dirt off, but I know now that the spring that's still in one piece has three blue bands, so Acid chap,would you mind seeing if you had one kicking around that needs a good home ...

Cheers guys , won't be home until tomorrow to find some of my hobo clothes so I can lie under the car to look lol , will be keeping my fingers crossed and calling acid as that seems to be the best option , will let you know how it goes , thanks all :-) .

That's very decent of you , thank you , can you tell me is a visual check possible for the colours or does the car need jacking up or anything removed ? And what kind of price would I be looking at inc the fitting if you had one kicking around ? Thanks for replying .

Thanks for replying acid , I had read on here about the colour system , but not sure how that would relate to Euros springs , and thanks for the offer , but ideally looking to have just one done this side of Christmas and then it won't be an issue to have the other fine after,, I very rarely...

Hi all , noticed a lovely 'clunking' noise from the back of the car today as I actually had rear passengers lol , had a quick look and it seems one side is sporting a nice lowered look lol , now cash being tight this close to christmas I was looking to just replace the one , now to my query , I...

Feel your pain conquistador , I had a sport for a few weeks , came back to it once , started it and had the gearbox fault come up , but turned it off for five minutes and vanished, very odd behaviour , as peeps on here say , take it back and get it sorted while you can lol .

You all disgust me , just kidding lol , this mpg thing is really niggling at me , after Xmas I will have to pop it in to WDM and ask them to have a poke at brakes etc, as I know the thermostat is good having recently been done , and I use cruise on the motorway as often as possible , last night...

Hello chap , I do a 15 mile journey to work which is mostly on the m6 with its 50 limit, then I also do 6 trips a week to Telford which are 35 miles each way , I don't do much stop start traffic bar my route to get onto the motorway which is approx 2 miles .

Thanks for more input chaps ,and renault12ts, as Markjay said. I am ideally asking views of other cars of the same marque as my own for comparisons , no point comparing fuel tank size as if I was comparing mine to that of a v8 petrol ,even if fuel tanks were equal size, there would be a vast...

Thanks for the replies chaps , will keep doing the millers and do a tank to tank , will come back whining if no improvement lol , thanks again .

Thanks for the replies chaps, I live in birmingham with regular commutes to Telford do do a 35 mile trip 3 to 4 times a week , when I start from cold the obc shows figures like 26 mpg but once warmed up they are better . I usually use the display as a guide and it does seem to be pretty...

Hi all ,I bought a 2006 w203 cdi c220 last month, when I bought it I suspected that the thermostat was duff, had this replaced and the car gets up to temp after approx 9 mins so pretty good I thought , after a steady cruising on the motorway at 60 the mpg would creep up to sometimes 41 mpg ...

Hello chap, if you find WDM in Perry Barr, a decent mercedes Indy who has a lot of glowing recommendations,including one from myself, try giving them a ring,as I spoke to one of their chaps about who they use for bodywork,and apparently they always use a place in Great Barr,and they had nothing...

Hello buddy, like the two people above said,message comand , they usually need your vin number which on my cdi is on the windscreen corner,and they can tell you the best way to get Bluetooth phone, the comand 2.5 was around £1800 installed, but on mine which is a 2006 I can install a viseeo mb4...

Hi all, I have a C220 cdi which is a 2006 , I just wondered as it has the silver trim,and I wanted to change the dash bits to the carbon effect, would the parts from a c200 made in 2004 be a straight fit, cosmetically they look the same but thought I had better ask, oh and mine has comand satnav...
