Like with most things, the more often you do them, hopefully the task becomes easier each time. So it can be with Steering Boxes, and removal thereof, and I thought I'd pass on some of my trials and tribulations, plus a couple of handy hints. Obviously, your choice of tools and various...

Most of you would be familiar with the location of the Steering Box on right hand drive cars - very, very close to the exhaust manifold and thus subject to SOME pretty hot temperatures. The questions I have these are as follows: 1. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the fitting of some heat...

Hi SELfor50, I'd put my hand up for the pump and also the hose that goes with it. Just let me know if you would consider me as a buyer. Regards Styria

What a nice looking boy - I am sure he must be the apple in everyone's eyes - well, you know, relations, Grandfathers (!), Mums and Dads - need I say more ? Yes I do - I also have an absolute liking for the Benz wheel - mine is in good condition and feels 'right' for my hands. From time to...

To be perfectly honest, I have always bought my oil from K - Mart or Big W, except for many years ago when I used to deal with Castrol direct. That contact is all gone now, so the Supermarkets it is.....or, of course, from Repco at various times. Now, Repco have always maintained that "there...

Hi BenzBoy, I don't see Woollies or Wesfarmers name on that link - am just waiting for either two to want to take over topklasse.org ! Oh me Gawd, I've just cracked a funny ! Regards Styria ....or maybe, they could buy into Olga's little uppies - sorry, puppies - have they exercised...

As Sydneysiders would know, we have experienced our fair share of quite hot days - many times at least 34 degrees centigrade, but even hotter days when temperatures have reached more than forty degrees. Gleaming Beauty, my 6.9, is a daily driver and as such, the mechanicals and cooling system...

Well, that's what Parks sang out when I was attending to an engine sump crack - trying to fix it on my 6.3. You've never seen me move so quick as I took off a thick 'doonah' (spelt correctly ?) to protect the interior from the harsh sun we experienced on Moday - we are not talking about Tuesday...

Again, this is now operative - for the use of both Administration and members of topklasse. When considering suitability or desirability in providing information for the benefit of members, please consider if there are already other sections of the forum (THAT'S WHAT IT IS CALLED NOW) that could...

As from today's date, this section is now operative. Whilst it may be primarily a facility for Administration to provide information of a technical nature for members present and future, there is absolutely no restriction for members to share information of a technical nature, whether that be...

Sorry guys, I just couldn't resist this - totally out of place but what do you do ?...Have a look... http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=943 I'll say no more. Regards Styria

I guess most of us know just that little bit (or more) about those magnificent machines. Even today, you stand in awe looking at them at Concourses and the like with their impeccable exterior styling and lavish interior. If anyone is not familiar with their styling, I can dig out a couple of...

I guess I could stand to be corrected, but I have reason to believe that only the 1969 300SEL 6.3s are fitted with ventilated disc rotors, and higher capacity brake calipers. I find this quite remarkable in view of the fact that good authorities contend that the braking capacity or capabilities...

They are about, presently on about 6500 Euros - details http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260479429386&ih=016&category=9855&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&rvr_id= Regards Styria

Hi Damo - how did you get on - did you manage to contact Oscar ? Also, I think I have a link that may assist you. I am not sure if this paste works, but let me try it - no. it doesn't work. Let me see if I can find the thread again. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=706 This...

This is one task which I particularly dislike, the reason being that there appears to be no means of shutting off the fuel supply whilst one is disconnecting the various hoses and fittings that are part of the fuel filter arrangement. As much as I try to avoid spillage, I invariably finish up...

Just to bring you guys up to date - plenty to choose from...

Well guys, let me just chip in - it gives me no end of pleasure to see Simon (E200K) carry off a trophy for cleaning up his class with his beautiful car - so well prepared...... Obviously, and it is gratifying to achieve this result, all the hard work has paid off. Great stuff, Simon...

I had always been aware that 6.9s had engine mounts that carried a different part number to those used for the 450 model range fitted with the M116 and M117 engine range, and there was of course quite a difference in cost between the 450 and the 6.9 units - in fact, the price is probably double...

Had a problem that occurred without warning on bb's 6.9. I closed the right rear door the other day, and when I came to re-open it - nothing, absolutly nothing. Pulling the outside lever provided no response, same with the interior lever - again nothing, tried to push /pull the button...
