    W220 Glove Box

    Gents, A little while ago Styria commented on a “Car Of The Week” thread about the misalignment and poor quality of the glove box on a later model car a W220 or C215 or later if memory serves me correctly. My W220 was suffering the same issue, of a sagged left hand side of the glove box lid...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    I think you are spot on Bryce. Besides a few scuff marks that cleaned off well, the back like you say is pristine. Door handle areas are a good place to look for grime and wear. Worn or loose door handles inside and out can be a good give away if someone is trying to mis represent the cars...

    After a week of detailing. The back half of the car has been done, inside & out. None of the 3 lighters or ashtrays have ever been used.

    Could this be the cheapest 500SL on the planet. (I’d love to show the seller that they CAN turn the phone on its side for a landscape shot) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1213722154?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

    Patrick's W220 S430

    That’s great info Bryce, The new ones sure are a little harder to work out considering there are no more “L” displayed anywhere on the car. I did find this one on car sales while looking for pics of LWB 430’s...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    You guys are awesome. Saves me having to do that :D I do apologise for adding the car to the Dora thread, by the time we got talking about the data cards, I stupidy just added the car in after Michel mentioned I had bought the car. There were no log books with the car, a heap of service...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Re: Dora 2 I did Michel :D I couldn’t pass it up when I saw it. Mechanically sweet, and very well looked after, just sitting neglected for the last few months in the street, while his new ride enjoys the garage. It has some external cosmetic issues, nothing dramatic, just some light...

    Gents, Here is the data card for a car I purchased on the weekend. All looks pretty standard, but can someone let me know what the "FW Limousine" means? Also the "VL front axle half left" "VR front axle half right" are also a mystery.
