I also need the ECU for a merc W202 (M111) series. Any ideas where to get one?

Auka - no pick = contaminated clutch plate (contaminated with oil). Difficulty engaging 3/4 could be worn out synchromesh units (or rings though mostly it happens with 1/2 as the most overused gears) - have you checked with CMC abt a gearbox overhaul? Just the synchro,seals,etc - not the actual gears and stuff? I do not think it should cost more than 60,000 for such a job.


Given the lack of pick (i.e. oil contamination on clutch plate) plus difficulty engaging,its possible your gearbox sprung a leak somehow,contaminated the clutch plate and is wearing because of low cc oil....just my two bits. .


The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

@ JK Mwatha or OgutuWalwanga

As the 2 guyz with obvious car import rules knowledge,is it true that I need only hang on to my Merc for 1 year then I can take it to Kenya duty free?

Something like returning expat



I guess if you can't win with facts,you can always pen bile-laced,xenophobic rants to distract everyone.

@Obi - Yes 1 year's enough -.as long as you adhere to the other requirements -

less than 8 yrs old car & you've been out of KE for upto 2 years without returning to stay for any period of more than 90 days.

It is advisable to take the most expensive car you can lay your hands on... eg take a 2006/7 Range Rover Sport as opposed to a 2002 C-class Merc. ( After all it is duty free) The amount you will save is 'obsene'.

In some cases you dont have to wait for a year....... you can 'slyly' back date (1 year) the log book with DVLA (vehicle licensing people). Just outsmart them kidogo.
