Hi all, Am about to put new oil in the 6.9, and want some suggestions please. The previous oil thread (http://topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=1755) has people suggesting everything from the Valvoline cheapie 20W50 to Penrite HPR50, HPR30, Mobil 1 and WGB's super-pricey Redline. My...

6.9 - wall to wall brown. 6.3 There's a 380SL too, and a cheap 750i.

Going cheap - for good reason. eBay Dark grey outside and black inside - very modern colour scheme. Seems to have some interesting options, such as: 260 ELIMINATION OF MODEL DESIGNATION ON REAR LID (even though there is a badge there) 228 AUXILIARY HEATER 489 ???

eBay Cheap so far, and will probably stay that way. Rarer than a 6.9! Slower too..... :( Still, it's the kind of car you (well I at least) want to buy, just because it's a little bit different. You feel bad for the prograss assn people for putting effort into a car that will only sell for...

BaT Sorry, that should of course be Crayford in the title.

Hi all, One of the options I keep pondering for the rusty 350SE is, rather than extensive body repair that it needs, just sticking the (good and low mileage) euro M116 engine into another, good body. The obvious choice is of course another w116; but it just occurred to me that the w123 uses the...

This is for someone at work, and not on an MB: The sump bolt head has been rounded by a failed attempt to remove it with a ring spanner. A subsequent attempt with a pair of multigrips also failed. Does anyone have any ideas for how to get it off? It's a conventional protruding bold head...

Seems someone got a good deal: Shannons

Okeydokey, so I finally got around to looking at the engine of the newly acquired dark blue 6.9, and am immediately stopped by the bonnet release not working. The little lever on the passenger (left) side footwell side wall moves about with a little resistance and over its full travel, but the...

Carsales Edit: disregard, is just a confused owner, and a regular 6.9.
