Tetleysmooth Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Mercedes W203 C180's please? I've seen one dead cheap, in fact I put it in the ebay thread here I think.Long mot, and a good mot history, according to the checker.Bit of rust around the door bottoms and rear arches, but not disgusting from the pics I've seen. Are these the model that suffers from rust in the front suspension perches? Any info appreciated. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Don't touch a 2002 onwards one with the M271 engine unless it's 100 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Is it that engine that shits its timing chain for fun? Yup. Daimler Benz AG heard on the grapevine that BMW were replacing the M44 with some horrendous oil leaking piece of shit, and wanted a slice of that action. The M111 - that never goes wrong - was replaced with the M271. Nice work Fritz. They aren't as bad as the N42 but I still wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
