Hi
This is my first post on any forum, so please forgive me if I've broken any un written rules! A few months ago I bought a 1999 E280 auto, I believe it's a W211, due to a broken wrist. My plan was to run it until my cast came off, then go back to my beloved Land Rovers. But I liked it so much, I decided to keep it, and save my Landy for fun. In the last week it has started to make a clicking type noise, from under the car, it sound like it's coming from the gearbox area. It does not make the noise when cold, and only when it is coasting, not when under power. When at standstill you can hear the clicking but it is much quieter than when moving. Any Ideas ? I've never liked auto gearboxes, and this noise just confirms my fears!!
Thanks very much
David
