I agree with you on your observation in the second paragraph. I have a 2.47(rebuilt) differential on hand which, of course, does not have the LSD feature. Two ways to tackle this: Firstly, just fit it in its present configuration and be "extra careful" on a wet road - and I could do this...

I guess it is fair to say that there have been no significant developments on these discussions. That is quite understandable when one considers the cost involved, and the skilled technicians/engineers that would need to be found to implement some of those changes and modifications. My...

We all know that our esteemed force uses unmarked Patrol Cars, as well as surveillance in hiding places etc. In most respects, I am not worried by these patrols as, 90% of the time, I stick to speed limits and observe traffic rules. With Commodores and Falcons being gradually phased out, I now...

Mark, don't know at this stage as we merely removed it and replaced it with one that was giving excellent (well, close enough) cut in and cut out readings. Will have to pull apart the faulty Regulator to determine what needs replacing. Regards Styia

This is an old topic, but nevertheless one that needs to be understood as to its workings, and what actually makes the system work. I do the work and testing with a fellow 6.9 owner who is an engineer and is also able to interpret the instructions and descriptions advocated by Mercedes Benz to...

At last year's concours d'elegance I was really quite impressed with some of the BMWs on display - to be sure, there were some really exciting offerings. So, this one has come to light - not for long, still interesting however. Look...

Hi Peter, thanks for your advice. I value it obviously for the reason of your experience in the motor industry. (Maybe I should ask Scotty Kilmer as well ? :D) The money has changed hands, so on that score I am already the loser. On the other hand, changing the gearbox oil some three to four...

Absolutely wonderful coverage, and cracking good video, of an event that would be absolutely fantastic to participate in. I've not yet had the opportunity to see the video in full, but if you are an enthusiast, you will like this video. Regards Styria...

I am interested to hear from members, particularly those with good knowledge of Automatic Transmission Repair, concerning an Additive by the name of "REVITALIZANT. Also, the use and suitability of a synthetic auto transmission oil produced by ATLANTIC. My Holden Captiva has been the recipient...

This video has only just recently been compiled - how do I know ? The presenter refers to the Corona virus. Unfortunately, it does include three Mercedes Benzes - just curious why a Company like Mercedes is just not getting things right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvgYAnzBDp4 Regards...

If you've had "that sort of a day", try a little comedy. I am quite sure we all know Dean Martin, the show he used to have on Television, as well as his numerous songs that only he could sing in his own inimitable style and sound. Quite frankly, if you listen carefully, his singing voice is...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's quite remarkable that this 6.9 has come up for sale again. Little is known of its owner to me except perhaps that he is a restauranteur somewhere in Sydney and drove the car like a man possessed ! So the...

Whilst on the subject of Railways, whether Model or Real, the following video represents an absolute smorgasbord for the Steam Locomotive enthusiast. Who can forget (well, I don't) listening to a locomotive under full pressure and steam gathering up speed on slight inclines. One of the...

The city is called Odbergen, somewhere in Germany. I have had a really good, long look at this installation and accompanying video and at times I almost think that the countryside, buildings etc. are real It's a long video, but if one has the time and inclination, it is certainly worth watching...

A really informative video regarding the nuts and bolts of being able to own and maintain what is essentially a very desirable, and luxurious Motor Car. I think the guy is spot on in most respects, very enlightening. The only aspect of the video rather hi-filuting relates to his story...

First up, a recently published video on a Mercedes model that's been an icon, a source of folklore, an item of desire, for many years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTEGUc6HK9Q There aren't too many items in this video that haven't been chronicled before, many many times. I would like to...

Some of the cars in the E-Class range. This video from Legit cars courtesy of C107. This one features a E55. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glBGDU2gb30&t=130s

For an old codger like me, with plenty of memories, whether they be good or bad, this video strikes a soft cord. Three makes, viz. Jowett Javelin, Humber, Sunbeam Rapier and Hillman Super and Imp - well, that makes it five, doesn't it - more to hold your attention ? Yes? No ? Well, let's...

Talk about restrictive turning circles - my Captiva catches me out each and every time. Just about the only facet of the car I have not yet gotten used to. Regards Styria

A very sober look at two S-Class models. I appreciate that we all have differing opinions, but I appreciate this man's candour in his assessment of the two models. Regards Styria N.B. Apologies - unable to raise the video right at this moment. Have now got it...
