OK now that my otherwise solid car has broken its third rear spring in two years :mad: I'd like to get some advice if anyone can offer. I have a W203 C320 Estate (2002) with factory sports suspension. I'm getting very tired of this recurrent problem and as a result am thinking about...

Need a spring compressor tool to rent, one that is suitable to remove rear springs off an SEC. Let me know what you have. Thanks Haris

as the title suggests i've got a squeaky back spring, which while it doesn't really affect me while driving, annoys the hell out of me when i get out the car. so is it just a case of liberal amounts of WD40 applied? or something a little more difficult? Thanks

Hello All. I have read in the forums that it is not necessary on W124's to compress the rear spring before removal or installation. Would anybody know if it's the same for a W210 Avantgard Estate? (210.265).

On page 5 of the service manual PDF regarding the procedure of changing front springs I found that UK and Sandinavian versions of W124 have zinc plate inserts under the front springs. http://w124-zone.com/downloads/MB%20CD/W124/w124CD2/Program/Chassis/32-0200.pdf I guess those inserts are to...

I have a 52 reg w203. In June my indie replaced the indicator stalk, cost around £150. Some 200 MILES later I have SRS warning, so back to the garage. He has read the codes and tells me that the clock spring now requires replacing. The part alone costs £204 + vat. I am told the that whenever the...

Coming down the slip road to the A1 - huge bang from front drivers side. Wheel dropped into the arch - not really driveable (especially as I'm 200 miles from home). Waiting for the AA. Bought the car from MB main dealer 4 months ago - are springs covered under mb used warranties?
