A couple of the tabs that hold the headlamps in place are broken, this seems to be a common fault, so I was wondering if any one else has had the same problem ? There is a repair kit on ebay for around £20. Has anyone had any experience with these repair kit's are they any good ? If they are it will save having to remortgage the house to buy another lamp.

The kits are good. You can actually buy repair kits from mercedes, but often the parts advisors like to look at you dumbly.
Wots new?

Went down to my local main stealers just to price the Headlamp repair kit's. They are 2x the price of ebay ones, so no surprise there then. I stumbled on a vid on You tube, showing how to repair things with Super Glue and Cotton Wool, so going to have a go when I get around to it.

And say you need a new headlamp. We can happily provide one for you sir for just 1200 + Vat and would be happy tp fit for an extra 350 + Vat. Shall i book that in for you sir, you wouldn't want that police stopping you for a misaligned headlamp.
