2006 C280 Sport. Rear brake left side . when applied i hear a slight thump . it brakes fine. but the thump worries me
Get this looked at as soon as you can, ignoring it will cause extra wear on other parts pushing the cost of repairs from 'Ouch' to 'Aaaarrrgh!'.
The thump may not be the brakes. Does it thump as bad if you do it in reverse? As the vehicle brakes it's entire weight shifts forward so the most likely cause will be something worn out on the suspension, usually parts like a worn rubber bushing, worn shock absorbers (dampers), or a broken spring. Get all four corners of the suspension checked over as sounds can travel and appear to be coming from a different area of the car.
As to the camber. It should have a tiny amount of negative camber as this helps prevent 'Wheel Tuck'. This is where the wheel and tyre tilts or folds under the vehicle during hard cornering. Tucking can 'pop' the tyre off the rim risking the vehicle tipping sideways and rolling over.
2003 Vito. Why did it it shut off and ECD light turned on?
I'm assuming you are refering to the EDC light? Do you have any other lights on the dashboard? EDC stands for 'Engine Diesel Control'. This is the electronics for the fuel supply system. First check the silly stuff. Is there plenty of Fuel in the vehicle? (Yes, I've done that!).
When was the Vito given last given a Major Service? Sometimes an old, clogged Fuel filter can cause the light as the electronics is reading a poor fuel supply or water contamination in the filter housing.
Get the filters and fluids changed and see if that helps.
