Bought a silver C220 auto on E-Bay a month ago, got it for £435,because the owner said the head gasket had gone. It turned out it wasnt head trouble, it was radiator level sensor & a nackered water pump,how pleased was i ! I am systematically going through every bit of the car checking for rust & other problems, & im amazed at how solid & strong it still is, more like a 3 year old, & yet i have seen much newer merc's that are rust buckets. Was 1995 a good year for the C class or am i just a lucky boy. Can any members tell me what to look for (trouble-wise) on this car,ie what do they suffer from,? Iv owned about 15 cars in my life, but this is my 1st merc, used to drive merc artics tho ! John.
