- C220cdi 2011
hi folks,just joined,I've had a few mercs before,the first was a fantastic 124 series 300D which was sold with over 500thousand miles on the clock,then a beautiful but rather disappointing e300 frog eye that rusted while I watched,had the usual suspension mounts fall of and anti roll bar mounts "rot away" needless to say this put me off and I've been driving other makes of car,
However I've always fancied another merc as apart from the problems mentioned I find them well engineered and well put together which is handy as I do all my own spanner work, I came across a stolen recovered c220cdi with slightly damaged front drivers side and as it was very cheap and low miles with service history I bought it to fix and put back on the road,it's nearly ready and I'm just waiting for my v5 to arrive so that I can mot it,
So far I've done a full oil and filter service, new front discs and pads,and fixed the "dislodged " front bumper,oh and replaced a headrest that was causing the airbag light to stay on,
Once I've put a few miles on the car I plan to service the gearbox and that's it! Hopefully!
Cheers Marty!
