    WTB: 107 SL Seats

    I am after a pair of front seats for an R107. Condition not important as long as they are useable as is or after recovering.

    D-Jet, K-Jet, etc...

    When did the various W116 models change injection? I know very early models such as the 280S had carburettors (one I recall) But the V8s were all injected. When did D-Jet start and did we get KE-Jet in the W116? What about the 6.9? what did it have?

    Here it is.... Not finished totally, but decent to look at and by no means a show car. My son Andrew's (to be) daily driver. Sorry for the cheap phone-quality pics.

    Boot Lid Springs

    One of the (rare) annoying things in my newly acquired SL is the fact that the boot (trunk) lid doesn't want to stay fully open. It tends to want to drop to a half-way position and stay there. On the other hand, the convertible top cover would not stay up all by itself either. This one simply...

    Glass colour

    The 690SEL is fitted with windows that have a dark yet vibrant green colour. However, I don't recall seeing that on any other 116. Is it something so unique, or have I not noticed it on anyone else's car?

    Miss During Warm Up

    I have been driving my 690SEL lately a bit and I have found out that when I start it cold, it feels like it has a miss until it is a little warmer (the needle is off the wall). :confused: As soon as the temperature needle has moved a bit, the miss is gone. Any ideas?

    Wheels and clearances

    I am considering at a set of wheels for my 690SEL They are 18" x 8.5" +25 offset at the front and 18" x 10" +25 offset at the rear. The tyres are 235/40ZR18 at the front and 275/40ZR18 at the rear. I know the offset is about right, but would the physical size of the wheels and tyres fit? I...
