What is this seller thinking???! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150305528056&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=005 I.

Hi everybody, Anyone here got a 500SEL? I've got an opportunity to get one which has 180,000km, no rust, needs some diff work but its cheap. Would it be any more economical than my 6.9 in normal day-to-day driving or so close that its hardly worth mentioning? Its a 1981, H/C engine, no...

With the number of W116s being wrecked around the country, I thought it might be an idea to make a list of parts which makes good sense to retain as spare for owners or the good of the W116 community (ie. sell them on to others), as a lot of parts are turning up with obscene prices from the...

If so, can someone give me an MB part number, front doors, L+R 450SE... Whitey's windows alignment is all wrong, esp as its closing... I.

I've been ill for a while but now I'm getting better I thought it was time to get back into whitey project and so started with something I've been meaning to do for some time... hand cranked windows. Thanks to the kind donation from Oscar I had a complete set to convert my car thought there has...

Hey here's one that confusing me at the moment, the RH front headlight on my 6.9 was blown, so I replaced the H4 bulb with another one which blew immediately when I turned it on. Any ideas whats going on? Ian.

Front suspension that is.... The car's not undrivable, just very low at the front. When it used to do this I'd just drive and within a few km the front would pressurise and lift up. The rear is fine - never sinks or does anything stupid. In fact has been perfect from day 1. Recent stuff...

My neighbour's kid, inspired by my two W116s, is after one to work on and register and drive when he gets his P plates. He's a 17 year old apprentice fitter and turner and ideally the car needs to be: a 280S or 280SE but will consider V8s start and run and drive not too much rust not too much...

Mine are worn, how do I replace them? Thanks in advance, Ian.

I've been meaning to set the ignition timing and dwell properly on my 450SE, however those who have SLS and A/C know its hard to see the timing markers.. I'm thinking the best way to see them with my timing light is to temporarily remove the engine fan and set the timing, then put the fan back...

For a project which adds absolutely no performance to the car whatsoever (just allows you to see whats going on), there is a major MAJOR amount of work needed to set these pesky things up. Alot of it due to the design of the W116 itself. Lets just say this is a one-off, and anyone...

(No I'm not thinking of getting rid of my 6.9, just the cost of petrol and home loan interest rates are starting to put a dent into my spare "race car" money, and I'm interested in hearing about something a little more frugal.) After seeing James May drive a 230E across Botswana last week I'm...

Ok ok, its not a W116 or a R107 but the W123 in this show put up a sterling effort, and its well worth watching how it holds up. It comprises of six 10 minute parts. I can see why s class trusty rusty is the way he is now having to contend with conditions like this before restoration. Part 1...

Something you don't see every day - a W116 with a window net: I.

Ok here's some designs I drew up during quiet time at work (was sick of work for the day): 1st design is for Cam's club car Ol'silver: 2nd design is the one currently on my club car "whitey": Its a very simple system and its performance and note is pretty good, its all made up of 3" piping...

Ok so I've done some more work today, and the amount of time spent doesn't seem to properly equate to the amount of work done, but this is mainly due to the cold melbourne weather, meaning things took ages to dry (water, paint, cleaning solutions etc.) In no particular order: Fix seatbelt...
