Bouncing locks - anyone found someone to fix?
Discussion
Our locks bounce / "machine gun" when we lock the doors.
I know that the fix is well documented on the internet - involving replacing the spring in the lock mechanism and the cocktail stick / nail "trick".
I've tried the trick and it only worked temporarily. The indy who looks after my wife's B class did a lot of teeth sucking when I talked about the spring. I think he's not that keen on replacing the whole mechanism but certainly isn't keen on the spring.
I wondered if there was anyone who had experience of having one fixed? .
Thanks

I had this on my e class last year. I bought the correct module from ebay and gave it to the garage to fit. Its a bit of pita as it means drilling rivets I believe but not that arduous in the grand scheme of things. A couple of hours labour and the part which was about £30.
Same with my estate earlier this year, spring kit was around a tenner on Ebay and my Independent in Harrow charged a couple of hours labour, if you're handy there's a diy tutorial on Youtube.Gassing Station | Mercedes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
