The pictures are from two 6.9s, with similar layouts, but identical problems - and that is the switch panel with the four top switches, the sliding levers and the two rotary dials. Right, what sort of problems can crop up ? Firstly, the rotary dial for the fan operation can at times be very...

Hi Bill, wasn't that the time when Chris' car was off the road already with a suspension problem ? He's been quite unlucky. Regards Styria

There are usually four problems associated with the operation and effectiveness of the rear struts - well, there are probably more, but it depends on how far one wants to get involved with the replacement of any leaking strut. Ideally speaking, of course, if you have a unit that leaks and you...

Almost two years have gone by and I am thinking that an update may perhaps be appropriate......no ? It's amazing what the computer lets you discover from time to time. I sort of can't work out why at times a 'newie' is all gung-ho with a post, or posts, and then all of a sudden they disappear...

Hi Michel, the new 'blingy wheels' on the Red Terror look the part - are they ready to be fitted anytime soon ? Regards Styria

It is a subject that's been discussed many times previously. Water Ingress, and a time span of thirty years (at least) can really cause havoc to the sound proofing/sponge flooring on the front floors. Gleaming Beauty was no exception to this state of affairs, but I had already scraped up all the...

After carrying out some more work on Gleaming Beauty, I got somewhat excited and decided that it was time to put some petrol in the old girl. I have been putting in about twenty liters at a time with the result that the tank is now full to the brim - all of 96 liters. The question I have is...

These are some pics. of cars I have either never seen previously, or those of memories long ago. This one should be a mystery car - any takers ? Back in the sixties, as a snotty nosed kid living in Moree, I used to be captivated by the beauty of the Toyota Crown.... Even earlier in my...

I first, and the only time, attended this show many years ago - in fact, it may have been the first one ever staged. I think that's got to be just about ten years ago, but I cannot be sure. Father Time has a habit of getting away from you. So, this year I thought that I might just make the time...

This is one of the easier jobs, especially if you don't have to refit the unit later on. The first thing to do is to lift the car with a trolley jack high enough to comfortably get under the car and have elbow room to move,Make sure that the car is suspended securely with proper supports under...

Following on from the "Holiday Work" thread. Part of the restoration work on Gleaming Beauty related to the painting and fitment of the AMG reproduction spoiler and the fitting of the two grille halves. The colour of the spoiler needed to be changed to the new two tone colour, and I also...

For those that came to the topklasse Christmas Party at Michel's facory, the 5 litre AMG SL is still with Michel, although I believe it is still for sale. We have seen pictures before, we have seen it at the Eastern Creek Classic Day in August, but we, or certainly I, have never really heard it...

If you love the older Benzes, particularly '50s, '60s and '70s models, this guys website holds a lot of information and pics you can peruse IF YOU HAVE SOME FREE TIME UP YOURS (Sleeve ! :D) http://augustinaderin.com/Cars-4-Sale.htm I had five minutes, and I will be spending some time...

Hi S-Class, I have thought long and hard about your suggestionto make up a steel plate and transfer all fittings to that plate. Unfortunately, in this lovely OZ country of ours, labour charges would render your suggestion at the expensive end of the scale and chances are that you'd finish up...

If it is Alloy wheels you want for your Mercedes, please refer to the link mentioned hereunder: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/information/fitting_chart/mercedes-benz It's about as comprehensive as I have ever seen, and I would thank JohnS. for posting the details of this site. Thanks John...

6.9s were fitted as standard with a plastic chin spoiler, which will also fit all of the other 116 models, such as 280, 350 etc. This spoiler, in cost, has crept up close to new cost of (about) $400.00. The unit I have for sale has been freshly painted in black 2-pack (standard colour), shows...
