If your two cars have self levelling suspension units at the rear, it could then be possible that the Air Pressure Cells (if they have them) are not functioning correctly. Perhaps you could advise or clarify if you have an Oil Reservoir located at the right hand front as seen from the front of...

Hi Bryce, did you ever sell those Bundts ? As I have indicated, they are quite difficult to come by nowadays, and I would suggest that perhaps you advertise on TK as you never know what will come of an innocent advertisement. I have in my own right some Bundts I will advertise, together with...

Well, well, well, what an interesting story. Interesting from my point of view as it illustrates the amount of damage that can be caused to the rear bumper bars of the 116s, and the cost of replacement parts as far back as 2009. The figures are staggering, but I also suspect that some of those...

I am not quite sure what we are talking about, but I was obviously interested in Sean's remarks on various aspects of what appear to be flawed engine designs. As some of you would be aware, I am quite familiar with the Rover 3500 V8s, some of which have found their way into Triumph Stags, that...

All this work that I am describing is part of what I do when doing restoration work. Gleaming Beauty has had all of that work done over the years, and it is the difference between my 6.9 and others that may be advertised for sale as being "the best", but have never been subject to a thorough...

The following pictures illustrate the rust proof paint and fish oil that I coat the underside of the bumper bars, and once fully dried, I then apply similarly coloured paint as done by Mercedes when the parts are new.

This is getting a bit complex, but I am hoping. Four pictures illustration the rust problems. Regards Styria

So far so good. The following pics. illustrate the "channels" I have referred to. The masking tape is applied to prevent overspray.

When I look at these pictures, I am more convinced than ever that the shape and uniqueness of body fittings clearly surpass those of the Ch. 126 models. I have mentioned this comparison before, but when the first 380, RED, owned by a next door neighbour appeared in real life, there was also a...

So right now, as at yesterday Friday, GB was again functional suspension wise. Thanks for that. Whilst the going was good, and I was on a "high", I decided to fit on a temporary basis at the moment, four genuine 14" chromed (quite nice) original Bundts together with the appropriate size...

In another thread, I have talked about an apparent faulty strut that seemed to be by passing all of the oil pumped out by the Oil Pressure Pump, and then returned (shall we call unused) back to the Reservoir. It took me some time to organize and rebuild a replacement strut as there were other...

So Oversize, did you eventually install this unit in one of your cars ? You did mention that you had one. I am also looking at the rev counter - as best as I know, it is not a 6.9 unit. More than likely 280, but I stand to be corrected. Regards Styria

Hi everybody and his dog, I never figured that there was, in fact, a second page ! See what happens when one is that long absent from the once hallowed pages of TK. My apologies.

Hi abl567, have you ever posted as to how you solved the problem, and who it was that eventually installed a replacement complete rear axle assembly for you ? Do you remember how long it took ? Just trying to refresh your memory ! Regards Styria

But wait, there is more. Some two months ago, maybe three, I decided to replace all of the Front Pressure Cells. They cost a packet (and a half), but I wanted to replace all three. Once the job was done, I turned the key to start and expected the car to raise - it did not, and no amount of...

Oversize, you pose an interesting question. During the last two years, I have hardly used Gleaming Beauty. One of the reasons related to Air Pressure Cells that were in need of replacement, and the other reason related to its use as a "suspension mule" checking various suspension components sent...

Some of that information is quite exceptional. When I bought GB from Thompson Performance Cars on Parramatta Road, Burwood, the only information I was provided with, or found, that it had belonged to the wife of a Turkish guy by the name of Ergas - well, with that name it had to be Turkish...

Thanks Tony - wherever you are. The good old days. I am responding to re-activate the thread. Regards Styria Thank you Patrick !

kdsk01 - How did you get on ? Do you still have the car and maybe you ay wish to give us an update on your purchase. Thank you for joining. Regards Styria

Hi Oversize, maybe I shouldn't ask - what do you think ? Any further progress that you could share with us. As you may perhaps have noticed, I've been quiet on TK for a while now, so please understandif perhaps I have not seen an update elsewhere on TK. Regards Styria
