    W116 Jacking Points

    I’ve been toying with the idea of painting the appropriate jacking points with a hi vis colour to help the numpties whenever the car has to be taken to a workshop for a RWC or wheel alignment etc…

    6.9 values

    Dear old Bills car is currently at an auction house. With only 2 days left, bidding is at a paltry $22500. It was advertised a few years ago over $100k, with obviously no takers. The market is very strange; they SHOULD be holding values around that price but sadly they are not. Not helped by...

    6.9 Service Requirements

    For those that want to stick to the original service requirements. Strange that I thought the 6.9 extra oil capacity was to extend service frequency but it seems to be the same as a regular 450! Note the gas suspension cells should be checked every 3 years if the car is used regularly. It does...

    W116 Jacking Points

    Something I recently found in one of the manuals! Probably from the intro to the series. Jacking in the wrong place can cause lots of damage!!

    Red Bull (5541)

    Well after 13 years she’s finally running again!! Fought me almost all the way! Got lucky that the fuel system wasn’t completely gummed up! The fuel head was clearly affected so I carefully managed the prestart process. Took her for a short drive with systems working well apart from cooling fans...
