Hi all. Managed to get the 300ce back to the UK from the south of France yesterday, 14 hours door to door, with no apparent leaks from the recent secondhand gearbox but now have a judder which starts around 70mph. Can't tell exactly where from as the whole car is shaking. All four tyres are recently fitted so have ruled out balancing, certainly nothing from the fronts as the steering wheel was OK. Never had this problem before the gearbox was fitted. Also I only had a top speed of 80mph and no kickdown, although the gearbox seemed fine, so I guess this will be incorrect adjustment of the new accelerator cable I had fitted last Tuesday. The car is now located in Marlow, Bucks so does anybody know of anybody local that could sort out these problems? I know a lot of places don't like working on these older mercs. I also noticed on arrival at Calais that the electric fans aren't kicking in so had to put the heater on full whilst in the queue, that was comfy!
Thanks in advance, Ade
