Hi,
I've been to Mercedes Benz garage to have a health check for my W203. After 2 hours of inspection the car is safe to drive but they found few problem that need urgent attention. They are as follow:
1) signs of osr overheating
2) caster arms bushes split
3) caster arm rubber boots damaged
4) exhaust fowling bumper
5) rear spring corroded
6) handbrake light stick on

It would be very helpful if any of us can give me roughly how much they will cost me because the price that man in the garage quoted is absolutely ridiculous.

Now, I do agree what my mate has said to me, anybody can drive a car but not all of them can afford to drive a mercedes. To be perfectly honest I must admit this

Thanks.

Why go to an Indy when Mercedes offer labour rates of £40/hr when pushed?
That's what I pay in Bristol.

Hi all,
SAM/UNIT, yes I'm live in UK and Oxford to be precise. I would like take my car to independent garage but I haven't got any clue any of them in Oxford. I do hope anyone could give me any.

What is roughly cost to get my brake and rear spring done as they are my priority in the list.

I do appreciate your feedback.

Thanks.
