WOW I had a look at this one and it was very sad: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280830216664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Rust in most doors, and the LPG tank was outta date. Lots of noises from the engine and the owner hadn't even checked the oil! It sounds like a...

I hope I don't need one at this price: :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180826209740?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

And the dust boot's missing.... seriously??? :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180826204596?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Is anyone interested in a 450 D-Jet engine? I'll sell it to anyone here before I head to E-bay... It's still in the car and running. It runs a little rough (no noises or smoke), but it needs a tune and the fuel's probably below par. Tony?? :)

Oh so nice... :D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-benz-280-SE-W116-1975-4D-Sedan-4-SP-Automatic-2-7L-F-INJ-/330690723753?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4cfeb3ffa9

Here's a new one. It has the usual problems, but it's a Euro version and a desirable colour combination. It looks like a good project: :) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170788310634?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The "Best on Road" is a big call.... :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270915998676?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So has it really come to this? The market's obviously hit rock bottom and I hope it heads the other way soon.... :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250999836783?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

They say they can supply one for a 6.9 at around $400 more. Is that way too dear? Another concern is will it suit a RHD configuration (being that it's sold in the US)?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140491009689?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If these are the real deal, they're very cheap. If you have to supply a core, that might be different... Ah looks like I didn't read that properly; yes a core is required. Not so cheap after all. I have the seal kit, so I'll look at rebuilding it myself...

These seem cheap, but I'm not sure about postage yet... http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=sxj0wq45kxj0xajwxcelws55&makeid=800016@Mercedes&modelid=1367603@450SEL&year=1979&cid=16@Cooling System&gid=10638@Radiator Fan

Here's some pics from the annual Hanging Rock Car Show. The weather turned out better than expected and I even got burnt!! :) A Phase 5? The colour is stunning: An old truck engine (check out the segmented drive belt): What's better than a supercharger? Two of course...

Here's the method I've developed to change coolant. It can be adapted to almost any car: 1. Jack up the car (don't forget to drive it on some small timber ramps first, so the trolley jack will fit), 2. Put safely on axle stands, 3. Have a big floor squeegee on hand, 4. Put a large container...

I know the auction's finished, but the point is the two manuals sold for nearly $300 (incl. postage)!!! :eek: Did anyone here buy them?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/310375227481?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649...

Does anyone know if RHD dashpads are available for the W116 with the integral speaker grilles?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190576431054?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Can anyone explain why MB used D-Jet (which is very similar to today's MPFI systems), then went to K-Jet (which wastes fuel through continuous injection) and then went back to something similar to the old D-Jet??? It seems to me they tried something different, but found it wasn't any better and...

I noticed the fuel pump on Red Bull runs as soon as the ignition is turned on, which I don't think is normal. Although it's nice to hear that the pump's running, I believe MB wired them up so the pump only operated when the engine was turning (as a safety measure). Or were later versions...

When I opened the boot of Red Bull I thought beaut; she's one of the few with an alloy spare. But alas: It pays to look closely, as in an emergency it could've ended up on the car as a road wheel. Instead it's headed straight for the bin.... Well the tyre wasn't any good for the car...

It looks like it's not the original one, as there's no switches or loom in the car (Red Bull). The springs are very soft, the padding's crumbling away and I might as well recover it while I'm at it. Oh what fun!! :)
