Has anyone ever removed this 'dry sump' tank from their car ? Believe me, it's one of those jobs that can be quiote cumbersome and physically demanding. The tools required, primarily, are Open End spanners ranging in size from 36 millimeters down to 27..... and it5 is necessary to remove the...

Hi Oversize, sorry it has taken a bit of time to display pictures of the suspension blocks - the two on the left are the front ones, and the others obviously the rears. I have also included pics of the choking blocks that should be used when jacking the car with the standard jack. I have...

Picture of rear carpet.... Regards Styria

As I have made reference to, I was indeed going to fit black carpet to the interior of 'Goldie'. For some reason or other, I did have some new black carpet on hand, but I have no idea as to its origin and obviously the trimmer that was responsible for 'starting off the job' - (I only had two...

Unfortunately, when you're putting a car back together, many times you can start duplicating various tasks. For instance, with the valve body in the gearbox, I decided to try another valve body that I had assembled. Thus, when the time came for testing the car, it was excitement station. Gradual...

Just to prove that I have always had admiration for the Maserati mystique, here are a couple of pics I took whilst in Germany a few years ago.... This is one of the few makes of cars where the four door version is probably an even better looker than the Coupe. Also, if one looks at the...

Well BenzBoy, if you really fancy of "having arrived" (Gurney Nutting notwithstanding), you need to invest in some of the '30s Mercedes Benz'(i) :D with their mother-of-pearl inlay dashes. Nicer than what was offered even by Rolls Royce in those days - never mind the 'Beaufighter' although what...

Whichever way you look at it, and whatever interpretation you cloth it with, the name and its motif, the "TRIDENT" so proudly displayed on the grilles bearing that name, have always evoked excitement, beauty of Italian styling at its best and mythical folklore that can never become obsolete...

Excellent and useful information about your car's fuel system. http://www.diagnostic-assistance.co.uk/mech_inj.htm#MFI03

Hi All, this would have to be just about one of the best sites dealing with the 107 models. Just browse to your heart's content - you'll be surprised at the info contained on this site. http://northernresource.com/mercedes/107-soft-top.htm Regards Styria

The difference between Jay Leno and myself is this: He, as a talk show host asks the questions and he gets the answers from his famous, and not so, guests. Me ? I ask no questions, I just talk aimlessly. Judging by his website, his cars and planes and whatever else, he gets the nod by a...

It's always interesting to get opinions AFTER the initial hype. http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=69502&vf=15

When in fact I picked up this new rim the other day, I took the opportunity to also purchase two wheel bolts - I had lost one (due to not tightening up the bolts properly - very bright !) and naturally I was going to fit the bolt. No such luck as unbeknown to me the bolt had actually broken off...

The sub-heading says 'got a good deal recently' ? If so, ' share it with the community'. Well, I am about to do just that. Nothing to do with Motor Cars except I do like to see which way I am heading, and I need to claim a waiver of accepting responsibility, and to also declare that I have no...

Not sure if this link works, but if it does, it makes for interesting reading. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=1900 Regards Styria N.B. This is one of the great features of our website - the linking of similar subjects at the end of each post.

Probably a little more than two years ago, I was basically forced into purchasing the Taiwanese made SPEEDY wheels (rims) at a cost of $1100.00. That price included some good quality used tyres (Nankangs) and although I had been led to believe that I was buying second hand rims, when I came to...

I have one more spoiler left out of three. I am posting a photo of Gleaming Beauty showing the appearance of the unit for future reference. Regards Styria

Some great and informative videos, including S-Class history - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rOiVvvKFrM Enjoy looking and investigating. This is a thread originally started by Michel some little while ago. Regards Styria

This item has probably already been picked up by others - I think it is a notable find, and as well being advertised at a reasonable and realistic price - at $450.00, from end to end. What annoys me is that some mean and tight whatever has the hide and audacity to whinge 'that he has only...
