S320 CDI gentle restoration W220

The Audi is now finished. So time for a final bit of work on the Merc. I know it's 16 years old and has 150 thousand on the clock but I love her and couldn't sell her know something was wrong. So back on the ramp.



The O/S/F upper arm has play in the ball joint.



New one bolted in. Noise now gone. Drove home and uploaded her onto Autotrader.
Time to move on I guess. I'm going to miss her though.

Isn't there a rule about not advertising your car in forums? I just don't want the thread shut down.
If not I will post a link. But it is on Autotrader with the picture above.

Thanks for that.
Never really thought about it to be honest, other than the plate changes don't come in on Jan 1st. It must be a late 99 car.

So she is being picked up tomorrow night.

Yep you are right I don't know why it does it. I entered the reg on Autotrader and it comes up as 1999. But then in brackets says V reg. I don't know, but I have mot and taxed the car twice so it's records must be ok.

A sad day, but there she goes driving away.



A very nice old boy, who got the train all the way from Lancashire, payed full asking price and didn't haggle one bit has just picked her up. I wish him many years of driving pleasure, like she gave me.

The Audi was different. I loved them both. Unfortunately some stupid bh who wasn't watching the road took the A6 away from me.



I was stationary, she hit me so hard that I hit the car in front.



Anyway, the 220 is just a massive CLK. the suspension is very similar other than the airmatic. The engines can be exactly the same depending which one you have and the auto box is identical. I love them and possibly see another one in my future.

So two years have passed since the Audi was taken away from me, but I’m finally back into the Luxobarge club.
