Hi All Anyone know where to get genuine MB rear shocks for W211. Cheap would be good.

was on my way home the other day, driving, unusually, as I am normally on 2 wheels. Sat at the lights at Swiss Cottage on the Finchley Road (central london) when a group of two ladies and four kids are crossing the road going across me (ie the lights were red for me and green for the road this...

Well it went into PCS for an oil service this morning... and came out an hour later with fresh oil & filter and a clean bill of health As usual, there was something which required replacing.... the wiper blade.. Cheapest visit to a garage in my ownership - long may it continue :D...

Recently I was told by Mercedes of Salisbury that the rear dampers on my 2002 (R230 model) SL500 were leaking oil, and that they costs £1050 each and in total would be £2500 to supply and fit new dampers. Obviously this is a large lump of cash, so I was wondering if there was an another...

As far as I know the shock absorbers need to be undone to do the front subframe bushes on a 107 (280SL) . I am having the latter job done and wondered about changing the sh. absorbers while its in bits. I note however that even with 20% discount they are £332 a pair from an MB dealer. Does...

Anyone with a 4-matic w124 fancy a set of brand spanking new Brabus shock absorbers ? Don't i feel like a twit, bought these in a haste for my w124 estate and didn't check the hub mounting points....different between 4-matic and stock of course. :o Shocks come with all the bolts and washers...

Hello Hope you are well. I just came across and compiled a collection of photoshock mercedes.. seriously, what were they thinking.... please feel free to add on your suggestions.

I put the 255/45/18 Michelin Primacy wheels and tyres back on the S Class this week to replace my ‘summer’ 255/40/19 Dunlop SP01 tyres I used since March. I have been making some efficiency gains over the last few months by lowering the car and running slightly higher tyre pressures. (36 v...

Hi Phone to MB today/London. Car needs MOT for Sept and about 2300 miles before next service/ So I asked for a 'A' service and mot. The lady came backwith a price: The lady @ MB: Sir, once you've paid the 62 pounds mot this time, it will be free for the next mot, or until you sell he car...

I bought a W124 '95 e280 estate (130k) in February off a mate and for the first few months was in seventh heaven. Loved the car and felt like I would always be a "Mercedes Man" after years of running classic Jags and Daimlers. But.... I took it to my local garage last week, who previously...

I just bought a P reg E230 Estate as a run around. It needs new shock absorbers all round. Best prices from searching the net I have got so far are: 1. Front £60 plus VAT each (MB Price: £98 incl VAT). 2. Rear (because they are self levelling): £160 plus VAT each (MB Price: £330 incl...

COMAND update shock. Just been in touch with my local dealership to ask about the latest Satnav update disk for the SL - I'm currently on 4.0 or 4.1 I think. To my amazement they told me that they have V8 in stock and it's only £117+VAT - not the £255 that I was expecting. Next shock was that...

We own a 1999 E-Class 200 Elegance Estate that we purchased just before Christmas 07, Yesterday my wife had just returned from a long motorway journey, as she turned into the street where our Son lives there was a loud Crash, Bang and noises as the offside front wing dropped, the car veered to...

Yesterday, whilst trying to avoid a driver coming opposite in the middle of the road my wife hit a very deep pothole resulting in a damaged wheel and shock as it looks like the wheel rubbed against the shock. The external round body of the shock has gone a bit flat where contact was made. Do you...

Had a quick search, couldn't find a relevant thread. I've noticed a small creak noise from the front suspension going over speed humps - nothing too dramatic, but got me wondering if I may need new front shocks at some point. How much are those bad boys? Don't say a lot...it's Christmas :D

Tried to renew my SL tax this morning and it came up "Vehicle not insured" I look at the bank statement and the money was taken out, I find the papers and all OK, I ring MB and ask why it does not show up, they said it is there. After 1 hour I found the problem, I had not told them of the...

Hey all, I have a 92 W124 300E (great looking photos of it in the gallery) with what I think is a rear shock problem, when it's just me and the wife in the car it's fine but when we carry a rear passenger or the boot is loaded the back of the car bounces big time every time we go over a bump in...

Hi All, I'm still trying to sort my car sickness feeling in my 1988 300TE W124: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=37224 However, I'm turning my attention to the front dampers where the damping here is much less controlled than the back. When I bounce a front corner down and...
