Hello, I am newly registered and have to admit that if I need to know something I have previously dipped in to the forum as a guest.
I bought my first W211 estate about 8 years ago and the main dealer warned me about the Achilles heel and expensive rear suspension failures.
I am now on my third one and up to the last few weeks never had a problem
Now I have that sinking feeling on my car which has largely been standing over the past 6 months and waiting for the lockdown to end so I can advertise it!
So the local independent specialist says my nearside air spring is leaking
The repair cost using MB parts is prohibitive
I am tempted to use the Chinese ones which are advertised on eBay
Has anyone used them?
There are some offered with a 3 year guarantee
Some claim to be in the UK but their account is registered in China
Any recommendations please
Yes I know its buyer beware!!
Thank you
