Simply incredible nut and bolt W116 restoration!

Which grade of polarising lenses do you have, Michel? Not all grades cause this "problem".

Looks like the W126 version to me, Michael?

I drove an A class sedan (new) recently, with HUD on the windscreen. Only problem was, with S-polarising sunglasses on, you can't see the display. The problem can be solved if the screen manufacturer incorporates a layer of 3M film (or equivalent) that alters the reflective properties of the...

Hi Oversize, yes, that was me and without repeating all the details I put there, this relates to the original factory MB Tech Data manual (small format book) that specified 343.0 (rear axle only SLS, 15 cSt kinematic viscosity) whereas 344.0 (full HPF as in 6.9, 32 cSt kinematic viscosity).

Nella scuderia, which means "in the stable".

Hi All - SLC in sunshine a few days ago ... Fuchs bundts care of House of Styria :)

Hi All - I've been away for 3 weeks and came back to a very low rear end on the 6.9 (left and right). When idling, it maintains normal height in the front (even left and right) and also responds to the raised H position at the front only. There's no leak from back struts so I wonder if the...
