    I'm considering changing the timing chain and tensioner on my '84 280CE (M110), myself. It seems the MB spring compressor is very expensive, and many people seem to use home fabricated versions. I've found this Sealey device online: Sealey VS168 Valve Spring Compressor Lever Type OHV/OHC...

    Has anyone used spring assisters ?

    One of my vans ( Renault Kangoo) sits rather low when it's carrying about 350kg of water. The springs are fine as I've had them recently checked but they appear to have contracted slightly due to continually carrying this weight. I was reading an article where caravanners can add spring...
