    96 w140 s280

    Hi Benz Boy, your link concerning the comparison between the four waxes holds a great deal of interest. To be truthful, I would baulk at the price of either the Swissvax, or the Zymoil, and I tend to think that the best way for me to take care of my 6.9 is to wash/chamois it dry immediately...

    96 w140 s280

    Geoff, I now use Malco Flash Wax and Malco Leather Conditioner on GB (the Wax and Conditioner)) and on the 420SEL the leather product only.. It is easy to use, has had the tick of approval from SEL69L (car detailing specialist), and both products are reasonably priced and seem to work...

    96 w140 s280

    When I first started reading the thread, I thought to myself "what an accurate way to assess and test the legitimacy of a used car". It was a first class report, and of course little did I realize that you had in fact gone ahead and purchased the car. I think it looks like an excellent buy - in...

    6.9 Fuel Pressure Test

    It's always of advantage to have matters explained properly. I can also assure you that 6.9s sound just like that with the Air Cleaner removed. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5cal1qzw_4

    6.9 with 450 differential

    Some of you may have noticed a brief mention by SEL69L that he's had a 450 differential fitted to his car. This step was recommended by a friend of his that's quite heavily into American muscle cars, and he sort of specializes in making cars go 'harder'. That of course was the motive of...

    2014 CLS Class

    Quite a sober and critical review - looks as though it is not all one would expect. The technology is mind blowing - I am thinking of an 800 meter headlight range. Why would you want it ? How could one use it ? Travelled at night lately on the Pacific Highway, or any other road for that matter...

    F600 Hygenius Concept

    They could well have gone ahead with this one - in fact, I wish they had. Love the exterior clean shape, the layout of the interior. Who manufactured this car ? Find out ! Regards Styria http://www.automobile-catalog.com/model/mercedes-benz/f_600.html

    Replacing 116 tail light seals

    Kent Bergsma does it again ! Mind you, I really appreciate the guy's videos. He is knowledgeable, precise and is able to produce most useful videos. He gets my tick of approval. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9K3HkJbELk N.B. I can relate to his remarks concerning the...

    Jay Leno

    Jay Leno at it again - the man doesn't miss on too many bargains. However, is he as big a collector as the dental works designer from the UK - a thread not all that long ago submitted by Benz Boy. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQVpSFoROg4

    Woerthersee 2014

    It's a well known yearly event that takes place on the shores of Lake Woerthersee, located very close to Klagenfurt, the capital of an Austrian province (or state) by the name of Kaernten, or Carinthia in English. It is one of the most beautiful locations in Austria, and it is located next to...

    Batteries

    I have an Olympus C770 Digital Camera that I bought back in 2004/2005. As a matter of interest, it has not missed a bit, and it does take some great photos, as evidenced by a good selection of events that I covered for TK. As with all "old" components, the battery charger packed it in, and I...

    Die Rote Sau - the red pig

    The AMG 6.8 litre Ch. 109 has been the subject of considerable discussion on TK. Of course, Tarek in Egypt, is working/ has been on a replica, and perhaps this video will get him out of his corner and tell us about progress, such as it may be, both on his RedPig prospect and the 116 he was...

    Why buy a Mercedes

    Do we really need to know about, and watch this video ? There could be an element of truth in this video, but the guy is certainly hard hitting and does not mince his words. :confused: Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV9rJwEOCus

    Rust Repairs

    For the handyman, or the guy that's prepared to "have a go" and get a terrific guide from this video. It is Austrian made (the video) and luckily enough the guy doesn't talk, so there is no language barrier. What is also remarkable, purely for personal reasons, is the lifting jack he's using...

    Cleaning your wheels

    This topic was the subject of some discussion some while ago. It mainly stemmed from a query posed by 260Benz after he had purchased his 300SE. In my situation, I have always used CT18, steel wool and/or scouring pad to clean the inside, plus elbow grease , of course. The results, depending of...

    2014 E550 Cabriolet

    This is a most level headed, and objective assessment. One can be in tune with the tester on the considerations of quality, value for money etc. etc. I find the frontal styling somewhat gross and heavy, as well as overcurved, whilst the rear section is decidedly bland. Luggage space - marginal...
