Michel, the resemblance is remarkable............:) Regards Styria

Through the kind effort by our Tim in Newcastle, a nice selection of 108s and 109s on display - all two tone. Interesting. http://sterntwiete.mparschau.de/html/zweiton.html Regards Styria

I don't think anyone has ever put in a better post than our Bill (WGB) covering this very subject. The attached link will hopefully show you why. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2615 Regards Styria - thanks a million, Bill. I am sure posting all pics must have taken...

Hi all, this is just an oversize whinge (sorry Mark !). Has anyone tried to remove those brake shoes from the rear hub of a 450/6.9 ? Obviously I have, and honestly, I dread the thought of having to carry out this replacement. Removal is only possible by removal of four springs - two that hold...

You may have noticed that I refitted the Bundts, or Fuchs Alloys, to Gleaming Beauty as shown in this picture.... Compare those Alloys with the ones that have been on GB for more than five years now...... Okay, let me say from the outset that, to get the best visual aspect for Gleaming...

Lots of information courtesy International M100 site and Tarek, our friend in Egypt. http://www.m-100.cc/600/index.html Regards Styria

Helmet, thanks for your input. The creaking noise I have referred to is the first time that I have mentioned it and looked for opinions, on topklasse or any other site. I am not familiar with the set up on the Ch. 126 models, but I would imagine that the method of mounting the steering box would...

Great colour combination, lovely condition, except for the under bonnet appearance - that represents a serious flaw if one would want to purchase it. One other very important aspect that appears to be a serious shortcoming - it's under the bonnet and would anyone like to pick it ...

Some 107a can present an owner with serious headaches - we've had a couple of badly rusted 107s that took a bit of doing to put right. https://picasaweb.google.com/114501749370489309902/RathcooleSL# Regards Styria

Mercedes themselves have created a pictorial album of their recent event at Berlin Tempelhof celebrating 125 years of the Company. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mb_museum/sets/72157627505134117 Well worthwhile looking at these informative pictures. Regards Styria

Strut mounts, both front and rear, can be a much neglected and overlooked item when it comes to assessing the mechanical condition, and in due course, replace those mounts. Incidentally, I have had those rebuilt for a number of years now on account of the cost and/or availability of new units...

I have previously referred to the fact that at least two or three 6.9s suffer from a lower suspension setting on the right hand front. No one came up with any suggestions, let alone remedies - if there is one. It just so happens that I have in my possession two front struts that were fitted...

This is the puppy that I am talking about...... What problems does it give, what grief does it cause ? Generally none, unless the plastic loop is broken, usually due to careless, and hamfisted attempts to remove the black plastic heater/fresh air vent from the spout of the vent unit. Sure. I...

Well, I have found the other thread, so now you will be able to read and compare both methods. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2785 Regards Styria

Some while ago, I posted details of how I checked the efficiency in operation of some eight fuel injectors. Now, I have endeavoured to find this post/thread to bring you up to date with the latest but, alas, I have not been able to find it. In the course of this search, I have come to realize...

Just for comparison, not that it stands a chance. During the lengthy almost 12 months lay-off, I decided to sort of re-paint the engine bay of Gleaming Beauty. This is the result, as best as can be seen from these photographs. It shouldn't be forgotten that Gleaming Beauty, as a rule...

Hi Mark, that's what it is all about. When you are proud of what you're achieving, it is satisfying to share it with others. If someone can learn something from someone else's experience (such as it is) and even trials and tribulations, it's all worthwhile. Regards Styria

Hi Tony, thank you very much for that. Yes, I do think it is great 'library' material - probably better than perhaps even a MB workshop manual. Don't forget Tony, that there is an additional thread dealing with 6.9 headwork under the heading of "further grinding and de-coking" that I carried out...

It was nice to meet up with fellow topklasse members SEL69L, Michel, CraigS and of course, BenzBoy, now president of the Rolls Royce Owners Club. There were, as per usual, some very desirable cars on display, and my favourite was this Rolls Royce Convertible, with the 'Chinese' twin headlight...
