I’m glad we haven’t got all the rattles in the UK, sounds as though they are worldwide!
My 160/2002 has the same probs as most of you, the head rests are notorious for rattling, they are better when lowered, interested to see that the location tubes can be replaced cheaply. One of our main probs in the UK appears to be steering, which could be down to the car being right hand drive, do any of you left hand drivers have probs with steering? As well as the drop links but the wear on them could be down to some of our roads, cheap and easy to replace if that’s any consolation.
MBNA there is a very good site for baby benz owners link direct from my own site 250+ photographs on the ‘A’ Class just go :- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/albert.rowe look forward to seeing you. In the meantime safe driving. Lofty [:)]
