thanks very much:thumb:

No prob. One thing to check about the suspension struts is make sure the dust covers are intact. Torn or damaged covers can't be replaced and I think maybe an MOT Failure. Obviously look for signs of leaking oil too ! The windows would have signs of air bubbles. This is a design fault in the glass and was never addressed. And lastly make absolutely sure that the high pressure ABC hose has been replaced under the MB Recall. This is the single biggest problem. If it bursts the car goes up in flames. HTH
 
That 2nd one (now sold), looked the business. What a lot of car for 5k
 
They are a gorgeous looking car. Saw one in black in the supermarket car park the other day, still look the business.

I guess they aren't much of a risk now if you get one for a bargain price. I guess in a few years all of the CL of that era still left will have had suspension overhauls.
