Hi all, Just got hold of a w203 estate, it's nice, it has a few problems... (non suspension ones, one being the rear wiper not working, it's just a broken pipe from the inside, will need renewing, blower not cold, will post in electrical section for that). Rear suspension sounds "boxy" and...

It was my birthday yesterday and I started the day by noticing that my wheelie bin was overflowing so I thought I would stand in it to squash the rubbish down like I've done many times before. The wheelie bin promptly tips over sending me flying head first into my fence and I land on my backside...

Hi All, I have read of countless faults and issues with the early w203, some owners so annoyed they went to the dark side or elsewhere :eek: With this taken into consideration any thoughts on if I should bother viewing a 2001 C320 (Made in Germany sticker on door shut). Thoughts please?

Hi, I am going to France for a week in June in my C220 CDI estate and I see that MB recommend visiting the dealer to have headlights reset. Is it worth the bother as I could do what I have always done in past with deflector tape-- -no yellow tints though :0) Stuart.

After reading a couple of fairly complimentary comments about Tony Purslow of Guildford, I decided to hang the expense and take my newly bought S320 CDi to Tony Purslow for a service. What a mistake! After the receptionist told me it would take about an hour and a half to do an 'A' Service, I...
