With the advent of the extremely hot weather some sections of Australia, including Sydney, have experienced, failure of water pumps, particularly 6.9's, have become an issue. There has been confusion from time to time regarding the amount of work involved in order to remove the pump. Some...

Hi guys, thanks for all your best wishes and expressions of sympathy in advance. I'll really be needing them, although wadfuls of cash donations would be even more useful. Sorry I have no photos of the happy moment, as I was even too dumb to use my Nokia N95 (not for sale !) to take pictures...

Some of us are familiar with the fact that we have not been able to locate these dust boots to replace units that are usually worn beyond redemption. I think even S-Class gave up in the end after some searching. Unfortunately, I am no closer to procuring that part. However, at long last, I have...

Would any of our afficionados like to comment on this particular Bentley ? It is a James Young bodied fixed head Coupe, ca. 1939, fitted with the 4.25 litre Bentley engine, and four speed box, with top being an overdrive ratio. It is one of three examples world wide, with two in the States. It...

As part of work on my 450SE, the timber fillets, as illustrated, should have a new owner - in other words, I want to sell them. Three pieces, top and glovebox, lovely colour, nice condition, pretty well ready to fit as is. These are quite difficult to come by, especially in good condition...

Not likely, I have never known another item like this to exist. I have had it for many years and did in fact pay good money for it. What is it, you may well ask ? Well, it is a three part genuine Mercedes open up and slide out type folder, featuring : 1) A paint colour chart, mainly for 116...

Before I place these on Ebay, I want to give Topklasse members first crack at two First Aid Kits I have on offer. Nothing particularly special or rare as far as the first one is concerned. It is your standard 116 item, in excellent overall condition with the correct bandages, surgical...

Okay guys, couldn't quite work out what section to put this in but, after all said and done, it's the pics that count and not where they are listed on our discussion board. Now, I want all of you to promise not to rush over to the "Old Dart" - mind you, we might consider giving Grease Monkey...

I'd be interested to hear from guys that "love their cars to death' and able to give preferably qualified opinions in relation to exterior car and paint care. Firstly, Panel Beater's clay. Those who have used it will more than likely testify how, so cunningly, it can remove surface impurities...

Some of you may re-call my reference to abl567's 6.3 engine that developed a profuse oil leak at the rear of the left hand head after the engine was first re-assembled. It was some time after thereafter that the engine was actually started and the car driven to any extent. I have just recently...

I think most of us would be aware of how the 6.3 came into being. The story of how 'young' Waxenberger virtually 'cobbled together' the initial car for evaluation by Rudi Uhlenhaut (forgotten his title but he was the one to give the go ahead for production purposes) to demonstrate what could be...

See picture of the two cars side by side. The one on the right is the 3.5. Regards Styria

When reconditioning caliper pistons, especially on cars that have been laid up for some time, there are two problems that one will be confronted with immediately: 1) Brake pads that have virtually "rusted" themselves to the disc rotors - so how do you remove those especially if you have a...

Many years ago (longer than I care to remember), I was given the opportunity to drive an Aston Martin, both DB 5's. Sitting in the driver's seat, starting the car and blipping the throttle, I was enthralled at the beautiful sounding exhaust of the straight six twin ohc engine, and the fact that...

As a rule, those relays located beneath the dash are perfectly reliable. However,, when they commence to malfunction by invariably failing to function IMMEDIATELY, that innocuous looking little switch can set you back about $130.00, fifty less from the after-market people - if they've got them...

As most of you would be aware, my partner and myself have bought a Statesman to take the place of my Astral Silver 6.9. Incidentally, I previously listed the car in this section, but due to some computer glitches, the thread was removed. This, unfortunately, also meant the removal of some posts...

Hands up as who has done this job ? By that I mean fitting new disc rotors, reconditioned calipers, new brake pads and new handbrake shoes. Anyone ? Please come forward and let me know what you think of the job - your observations, degree of difficulty, time etc. I would be most interested to...

Parks and I have seen the odd 107SL/SLC that really took a pounding from the eternal foe - rust. One car, in particular, an Astral Silver SLC had practically no panel left below the rear screen - from side to side ! The attached scanned photos illustrate what can be done to fix most of the...
