Was using a 2004 W211 E320CDI as a daily drive as i for some unknown reason thought it would be a good reliable 'newer' car. I was very wrong so dug an old W210 e class out of retirement (£1000 purchase). It has 180K miles but only 40K on the engine fitted. (Mercedes fitted a brand new one 10 years ago due to a flood apparently). Anyways its doing 37MPG on my weekly commute from wales to sheffield which is only 5 MPG worse than the diesel newer shape one i had! Full grey leather comfort too   A drunk mate reversed into the rear side of it so paid for both rear quarters and rear bumper painting and a couple of small blows to be done. Bought some 18" AMG monoblock reps for £80 as one was damaged but got that repaired and sprayed them myself.   |

I'm really pleased with them although i think i need to hit the back end with the lowering stick just to make it sit level

would look sweet with a bit of lowering on the rear , mine seems to sit really low on the rear naturally i wish i knew why Chris you need to check the rubber spring mounts they could be worn out,, all spring rubbers on w210s cone in five thickness sizes, they have raised bumps on them 5 bumps denotes thickest size one bump thinnest ,, I think mine have the thicker sort been told if I put thinner ones in it can lower the car by up to 16mm ,, I will be looking at mine soon |
