    Dora 2

    No. There are a few variants. The AU one has 178KW, the normal one has 200KW, and the high compression one 220KW (300hp). I'll post a bit more about the differences later, but the engine in Dora2 is the high output engine.

    Patrick”s 560SEL

    Didn't know Autobarn could do this, good to know. What are you using to apply the touch up paint without making the touch up stand out?

    Car of the week

    My parents had one in a light blue metallic. It was a colour that was never common on the W220. It got hit while parked by a drunk driver and never drove the same. They had planned to keep the car for a while, but traded it in because of the way it drove after the crash. I drove it...

    Car of the week

    With a little work this could be a really nice car. Fix the dent, some new window seals and a few other misc things. A late SEL is a nice car to have. Sounds like its had good history, I wonder if the timing chain is done.....

    is your car airbag equipped? If not, take off the steering wheel pad and its date will be printed on the back. Most Aussie delivered cars had a 'built xxx' on one of the plates, but not sure when that started Otherwise datamb.com should give you an approx build date from your vin.

    Patrick”s 560SEL

    Checked both of my 126 and I don't have this tool. I wonder if it was from another car? Is there a part number on the back? Here is the photo of my 560 toolkit. Note the channel lock I added, it is part of the 129 toolkit, not the 126. Not sure if it was originally part of the 126...
