Dear All,
I've just been on a 500mile round trip with my 1988 230TE. The car proved to be quite comfortable (though could do with a newer drivers seat as it didn't provide enough back & lumbar support) and we did have a small breakdown (the distribuitor cap jumped off - non original part!).
However, my main concern was the handling on the highway (motorway) at speeds over 60mph. It feels that, especially under wind, the car has a mind of its own. It always felt 'loose' and at times even seemed to veer a couple of feet off.
Any ideas what this could be? I know that recently the rear shocks & spheres were replaced. Could it be as simple as an alignment?
