i'd recommend meyle since their rubber is of a higher quality and lasts longer according to consensus. usually this is gotten from the dealer for not too much |

Also, if you buy them from ECP or whoever, be aware that the mounts for AC-equipped cars are different... |

definitely buy OE parts, just go through a dealer, good mounts are essential for smooth handling and a comfortable drive, the gel and oil in non OE parts breaks down quicker than OE mounts as it is of a poorer quality this is usually why you can find them for cheaper, but if you intend to keep the car then I would advise you take the hit! |

ebay.de chris , type in " Motorlager w201 " and look for febi logo in picture . whereas " Motorlager w201 febi " will give only 3 results. some vendors refer to a blue quality ,do you know what that refernce is? regs dan |

Spoken to a gentleman called Vel in SN Autohaus, nice guy. some of the mounts are actually genuine or genuine O.E (i.e Febi) or german manufacturers i was delighted to hear he does not sell parts in non-descript white boxes , and concentrates largely on OE or german manufacturer, and recognises that most mercedes owners want OE. so definetly worth giving a shout on any part. he stated that ideally , if you can supply the mercedes part number for the part you are looking for, to avoid any confusion. sn_autohaus is his ebay i.d email 'ebay@snautospares.co.uk' Hope this helps, Regs Dan UPDATE the mounts Vel has in stock for most 2.6's p/no. 124 240 1717 is a brand called Lemforder, is it a good brand (part of Boge Group) ? i need to order some either genuine /febi or try this brand, any feedback much apprecaitted. |

I have had lemforder parts before (supplied by eurocarparts), I cant remember what exactly but I didnt have any problems with them, it wouldnt have been electrics, or mounts. Possibly trackrods or something. |
