My 1987 190E has developed a thumping noise from the rear end. Sometimes it is there, and sometimes not - which makes it hard to identify. I took it in to the service station, and after searching around the differential, could find no problem. They thought it might have something to do with the drive shaft, but couldn't see anything wrong. The thumping noise stopped for a few weeks, but has come back. It only happens when I accelerate - stays for a while, then stops for a while. The car is going in for another service this week, and I hope they'll find the cause. Any advice? John
