So how many people would be interested in 20L drums of this stuff, if it was far cheaper than genuine MB? I'm trying to gauge market demand, since it's only available in 1L ATM... http://www.penriteoil.com.au/products.php?id_categ=5&id_products=604 I was told Nulon ISO32 was ok (and bought...

Hot off the press..... But no video yet! http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/Mercedes-S63-AMG-vs-classic-450SEL-2013-11-08

Anyone know the differences apart from the engine capacity? Are any of the engine internals interchangeable? Would a 560 crank, rods n pistons fit in a 420 block, or were the bores different too? Were the heads different? What about the brakes, transmission and diff? Did the 420 have an...

Anyone know if a W220 S500 has airbags in the seats? Would the rear seat be electric, or was that an option only?

Might be interesting for someone.... Minor suspension work, but something don't look right to me. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/berwick/cars-vans-utes/1981-mercedes-benz-500-sedan/1025229658

So what are your thoughts on the value of this car? 500SEL with what looks like full hydro at some point.... But only some parts of the system remain. It seems to be missing the struts, pump and main pressure hose. I forgot to check for front and main cells; doh! It looks like the control...

What not to do to a 6.9 and how not to drive it.... :eek::eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L0DqIZKRYo

Ok so I have the opportunity to buy a real rough and incomplete 560SEL. But I'm still wondering if it's worth having all those bits to worry about. It's an Aussie built in 10/86 with a VIN of W1260392A267775. It has a 72232302806667 trans (part # 1262707601) and a diff with a tag that says...

A couple of dealers have said recently that you shouldn't keep a constant speed and vary the load until at least 1500km. Once up to temperature you should even use full throttle every now n then to bed in the rings properly. I've heard reports saying an engine won't behave normally (lower...

I was wondering today what MB could've done to make the 6.9 more destinctive from the rest of the W116s and why they chose not to at the time? In fact, I was wondering why they chose to provide option code 261 (delete trunk badge)? On making them more destinctive, my suggestions would've...

I think it's even your colour Tim! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs9AiWR2dyc&list=PL7CC60A2595A27449

I originally bought some parts from it after a tip-off. During my panic stripping, I quickly assessed the rest of the car and decided it was so good that the whole thing was an essential purchase! I initally got the seatbelts and fuel divider (along with various smaller bits), but with the...
