Hello all
Thanks for your input re the gearbox oil
Repairs and refill became urgent so I had to get the parts and oil from Mercedes Main dealer in Sheffield England
7 Litres of Oil at £11.58/Litre
Gasket and Filter about £20.00 Then labour at £40.00 (very cheap)
The difference in box performance is startling.
Always knew MB were good but for a 25 yr old car it is amazing.
Thanks again for your help. I will be watching topics on the forum with interest
