Getting the right part

[DSM10000]

Thanks. I’ve got what I need for now but will get back to you if and when I need something else if that’s OK. (I’m certain to lose the details if you give them to me now!)

No problem.

Problem is some owners think the brakes fitted to their car are never good enough ,or that Mercedes fitted a poor brakes system . .Lots of work goes in to the brake system , so it dose the job its intended to do . Serviced regular then the brakes are good . But as the calipers, and the discs get upgraded with a holy grail type . Then right away, you can forget finding any of the right brake parts from any dealer or parts shop to fit them anymore if you use the cars vin number . .

All I wanted to do was replace the discs and pads that were on the car when it left the factory. I ended up having to buy from a German company because all the British ones I tried wanted to sell me the wrong ones.

Just ordered a parking brake kit from eBay seller main dealer Sytner in Newcastle - it's a full kit of shoes, springs and actuators - £45 delivered which I think is a pretty good price. I'm sure my car still has all the original parking brake parts so I'm hoping for a decent improvement. Currently the brake is quite poor. (C350 Sport estate with M276 3.5L engine, pretty rare in the UK I think)

Yes, very rare I should think. When I checked my C350 Sport saloon with the M276 engine, there were around 50 registered in the UK. So I would think that there are considerably less estate versions, perhaps even in single figures.
