Hi again, damn im getting annoyed with my car, i spent basically £600 on friday on it and now i have a noise coming from the rear, im wondering if it may be a rear spring? do they go often? its done 80,000 miles a w203 sports coupe 2002.

its best heard with windows down, coming from the back of the car, its a creaking/rattle sound(its not the exhaust :)) that happens when i go over bumps, it appears to do it most when i go over bumps slowly, or perhaps it just becomes harder to hear at speed!

:( after £600 this month im getting rather poor! im hoping this isnt going to cost too much more! im starting to think i cannot afford this car! ;p

Rear springs do go on these. Also try it with the parkbrake on "slightly" to take any slack out. You will have to judge the bumps right or all you will hear is the warning buzzer.
