I'm sick of the factory cruise control on my 280 forever disconnecting after a few kms even though I have a recon unit from Autohaus. I would like to fit the Auscruise cruise control to it as I've heard they are a good brand to use. Has anyone fitted aftermarket cruise to their 116 and what...

I just found out from the dealer that the LH upper control arm is no longer available for the 6.9 but they have plenty of RH side ones. Is the balljoint that is on the control arm able to be reconditioned???? The 6.9 ones are different to the normal 116 as they are stronger and made out of steel...

Some of us Merc Club members (South Australia) went to Mallala on Saturday because the Marque Club who organises the sprint racing conducted a "Come and try" day. There was a Finnie, a 450SLC and two 6.9s. (Mine and Andreas'.) (There was a VH Commodore owned by one of our members as well, but...
