It depends on where you live. If you live in an area with good roads, you're probably ok with the sports suspension. I would avoid it like the plague in an area with potholes etc. like the northeast. As for brakes, I haven't heard that but I bet the service dept. has a fix if it's just squeaks.

Have the brakes that you are referring to. The only noise is ocassionally on start up when the pump comes on for approx. 4-5 seconds. Drive the car in question to see if this is problem.

I have an 03 E320 and put on Dunlop Signature Sports, HR rated all season. Thus far, they seem to have good grip and wet traction. Snow hasn't fallen yet however. They are pretty reasonably priced at Tire Rack.

My reference to red-lining was not literal.....I was referring to an engine being overloaded or pushed past its power peak by any number of causes including
improper oil levels........BTW...If oil level is too high and it's being whipped by
the crankshaft, it could result in airated oil in the lifters and possible damage
to the engine.

If you lease a new E350 for 3 years and 45K miles, how much should you budget for scheduled maintenance, tires, brakes and other wear items for that time and mileage?

Spark Plugs 300E by ismynamelinda

My boyfriend has a 1988 300E, he would like to know the best replacement spark plugs for this car? He bought expensive ones but they don't seem to be the best for the car. The car is either a hard start or won't start at all. Thursday he had to take sand paper to the plug to get it to start. Then Friday morning it would not start again?? Any suggestions or ideas

When's the last time you changed the glow plugs? They need replacement every 2-3 years.
 
Radio is fused in the fuse box but might also have an in-line fuse behind the radio deck. A stereo shop may need pull the deck and check this if your fuse box looks okay. Check your owner's manual for location and number of the fuse.
 
Biodiesel: If you mean pump biodiesel, B100, I think you're fine. If you mean all that homemade stuff, you'll need to buy a conversion kit and various accessories. A big hassle.
