Hi All
Just joined.
I have a 1999 W140 CL500
I think it may be one of the last built.
It’s done 89k miles.
I’ve owned it for 4 years and use it for high days and holidays.
Are there any experts on this model here as I have a few issues which I need to resolve:
The front tyres foul the wheel arch when turning.It had new front springs fitted (SACHS) at service 2 years ago and it seems to stem from then.It’s serviced by a specialist who assured me the springs were the correct spec and has suggested that it might be the rubber cups ? I’m not a mechanic but does anyone have any recommendations?
The interior rear view mirror has gone floppy and the rain sensing wipers don’t work - is the sensor likely to be at fault?
The parking sensors have stopped working due to a couple of faulty sensors- do you have to take bumper off to fit new sensors?
Should I change the transmission and diff fluids or are they sealed for life?
any answers/advice much appreciated
Thanks
David
