Hi all, well all you guys with R230's around the 2003 and onwards a few years start to worry if you have not had the dreaded banging from the petrol tank informing you that the baffles which MB kindly put in to stop the fuel from sloshing around,shame,have come loose and will necessitate you having a new tank costing plenty and the labour costing plenty and in my case £2000,had the car 9 months and looked after it to the best of my ability and this is what you get ,MB should have recalled all R230's with this problem and put it right.I have read on all MB forums that there are so many who have had this problem and have had to shell out thousands to get it put right.They have contacted MB but they do not want to know.I am having mine done next week at Prestige Cars near Portsmouth.:doh:
 
I have seen these fixes and they don't often work.
