Hi everyone, just thought i would pass on some useful info regarding the renewal of the dampers in the boot of the slk, apparently they are prone to early failure ( i know mine were, making lifting the boot lid quite heavy. Anyway, my local mercedes dealership quoted £411 to replace both boot...

Hi all I've been lurking the forum for a bit, and having a nosey around. I'm considering a W123 230, preferably a CE but a nice E might just swing me. I'm reasonable with some spanners, but bodywork is not my thing, so a reasonably rust free example is what I'm after :). Anyone out there...
