Hi Is there anybody in Kent, who would be happy to lend me a spring compressor for a couple of days please? I need to fit new front struts to my BMW e39 tourer. Many thanks Bruce

Hi guys I have a set of oem springs from my w211 e280 cdi sport original Merc springs with colour codes looking 75 pounds plus shipping pm me if interested

Hi guys! I had a problem with the driver side rear air spring going down after you switch the car off or if you leave it overnight, also wasn't lifting up to a level it should be when the engine was running. So I thought the problem with the spring and I replaced the spring with arnott spring...

Hi, Yesterday evening came an odd bang noise from outside. Couldn't see anything amiss. This morning found my S211 with its OSF almost on the floor. I'm aware that this is a known issue but my question is how do I get the darned thing to my local garage? The tyre is almost rubbing the...

A front spring broke while the car was sitting and had not been used for four days leaving the O/S wheel almost touching the inner wheel arch liner. 49,898 miles. Strangely a BMW 3 series of the wifes did exactly the same thing a couple of years ago. I wonder why they break while they are not...

Hey guys I'm about to install Eibach springs on my CLK500. Now my question is, do W209's have Spring pads on the front axle like the old w208's did? I know they have them on the rear but I wanted to double check the front as my mechanic reckons they don't.. Any help appreciated...

I need to change the K1 spring in my 240td (1981..) with the 722 auto box. The reference number is this -1262704477 Any ideas where I can get it? My local dealer is a bit reluctant

Hi, I bought new front springs and shims from a MD but the car is now sitting very high, almost like a Jeep. Hopefully it will settle down but I'm not convinced, I suspect I might have been sold the wrong bits. Sorry to be cheeky but if someone with EPC access could quickly stick my chassis...

Well I had my spring health check done and got the wipers done and had the complimentary wash done yesterday.... Well guess what if you are doing it at MB colindale DON'T! They had my car washed at their local subcontractor and my car has come back with scratches...as if the cloth had fallen...

HI guys i have a c280 elegance and on looking at the spring caps i have 5 on the fronts and 3 on the rears,the front does sit higher than the back,i have looked at many threads and it seems i can lower by 40mm max with the standard shocks(correct me if i am wrong), my question is if i buy some...

My S211 E320 offside front coil spring broke with such a noise last night it woke my neighbours who thought their car parked on the road had been run into until they saw my hazard lights flashing and heard my alarm going off. When I parked on my drive at 5.00pm last night, all was well but at...

My W202 C230K Sport has bad sag at rear (probably the result of towing while with previous owner). I am going to be changing the shocks on the vehicle in the near future, but the amount of sag is so much that I think it is much better to replace the springs as well. Checking with the EPC it...

Front spring on one of our low mileage W212 E250 Sport has broke. No sign of any corrosion on the spring, just seems to have snapped. I priced up 2 new springs (purchase only) at main dealer which at £180 seems a bit high. See some springs on ebay (Kilen) for about £50 but worried they may...

Now the weather seems to have turned better I thought it was time to give the car its spring spruce up after the winter months. It took me from 10 30am until just gone 5pm to complete and I still have the inside to do tomorrow. Here's the nerdy bit. 1 Washed with Meguiars Gold Class...

Anyone seeking a steering wheel clock spring assembly fully functional. Part reference A1714640518 fits w211 e55 and probably a host of others. Looking for around 50 for it.

I managed to get 4 H&R lowering springs and two new rear Bilstein shocks for the winter run a round as I felt it sat too high previously. Had them fitted today and whilst the ride is dandy I think the rear is just a tad too low. Can anyone confirm what sizes the shim nib pads come in and are...

I had the rear SLS on my 2003 wagon replaced by the Arnott spring kit after an airbag failed. The ride seems so much better now. I have two questions now though. The garage that did the conversion for me use AutoLogic. Is it possible with this to stop the error message I get now to 'visit...

I have the bouncy lock syndrome!! Finally managed to get a dry day and attack the passenger door lock on our C230K coupé 2003 (pre facelift). Boy what a g1t. I read lots on here and other forums/youtube etc. Non were on a coupé and it is different. There are 2 speakers in the door and as it's a...
