• D/S/F INTERIOR DOOR TRIM - £52.79 inc vat

Maybe i need to rationalise my new years wish-list!! -
I think my first priorities will be:

Front Springs
Front Brake Discs and pads
Engine Mounts
ARB - bushes and links

Before i place an order for the parts, can anyone give me some pointers on the above costs - are they reasonable?
Any comment on the Service and ATF change quotes would be apprecaited

thanks in advance

Why do you need new suspension springs?

 

[Dieselman]

Why do you need new suspension springs?

Because they go soft and break. No-one notices the softness until they replace them.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Why do you need new suspension springs?

As DM says +:

The Front O/S is broken - only 4' at the bottom - its been like that for 2 YEARS!

 

[Dieselman]

Like THIS.

The parts prices you have been quoted are standard prices.

See if you can better them from somewhere like http://www.mercedes-benz-parts.co.uk/home/
or
http://cart.euromercmercedesparts.co.uk/ (nick mercedes)

or an aftermarket supplier for certain items.
At that price I'd switch to EBC pads and suffer much less dust.

5th July invoice..W211 front discs from main dealer not far from me

List..£52.24 each = £104.48....discount £41.40..total £62.68 + vat. FOR TWO!

 

[NicDale]

£120+ vat for H&R Cup springs (front and rear) for a W210 - Click

Obviously you probably will need shortened shocks.

Thanks
Discount?? what discount - was it a promo offer??

just wondering, the prices they have quoted me are 'inc' - does this mean VAT is already included?? - will phone and check tomorrow

 

[NicDale]

Yup VAT included.

Thanks NicD

not thinking of lowering - just looking keep original height - good link

What about the Bilstien B6 shocks on that website - just wondering if they are OE and how do they compare with Bouge?

96 quid is close to the dealers price so would probably just get them from the latter - just wondering if the dealer is quoting Bouge or Bilstien - another dealer question tomorrow

 

[Dieselman]

The dealer will be quoting Boge dampers as they are the OE.

 

[RodgerDodger]

OK, plan for my current short list (the big list is still valid)

Front & Rear Springs and ARB Bushes & Links will be ordered from dealer tomorrow

Discs - will probably get them from dealer too but will do some more research first for best price deal (Nicks site looks good tks DM)- i think the Pn for the Fronts is A210 421 1712? - Rear ?? - can anyone confirm please

Pads - maybe not get them from dealer and will look at alternatives -more research needed - Mnaufacturer, Pns. etc

Engine Mounts - maybe from dealer but again Nicks site looks good value - after looking through the posts, Pns. i have for left are A202 240 2817 updated to A203 240 0617 - and Pn. for Front Right??? could be A202 240 3017 - can anyone confirm these please

Thanks guys - will post-up my findings as i tick things off the list/s

Yep, that is correct for the mounting.
Rear disks are A210 423 0612
Fronts are A210 421 2212

So is mine, having both fronts replaced at 124 works on Friday

At the same price would the bilstiens be a better bet than standard ones?

 

[Dieselman]

That depends on what you mean by better. The manufacturing quality is unlikely to be better and Bilstiens tend to be a bit more brittle in ride quality than Boge.

Update

my wallet is 400 quid shy!! and ....i decided to get the Engine Mounts while i was at the dealers!!

some useful mixed part numbers and costs on the invoice- will post up later

Now ....brake discs and pads -should maybe start dedicated threads in respective forum sections as i move through my NY list PS: manged to get a wee 10% discount on the parts shown in e-mail quote above (excluding Engine mounts)
