This video is rubbish until 2.54min..... And Michel you might be interested around 3.45min.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHK7J8y4q_U

I always wanted one of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-Benz-E280-/230668975119?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item35b4f13c0f Seems they're commanding decent money for a 6.... :rolleyes:

And I even like the colour!!! http://www.drive.com.au/used-cars/MERCEDES-BENZ/450/Adelaide/detail.aspx?id=26280549&lid=26280549&pg=1&pp=2&d=0&SG=-1141244201&pt=1 :)

I'd heard current chrome plating is softer than in days gone by, due to the chemicals being more environmentally friendly. Anyone know if there's any truth in the rumour? :rolleyes:

Many years ago the old man had some steel Ford wheels powder coated. Within 12 months they'd started to develop surface rust around seams and edges. Years later I made some enquiries into powder coating and although it sounds like a good idea, I've been told the surface is porus and as a...

Testie, check your Owners Manual for the operation of the vents. It should explain the HVAC system and what air you should get from what vents.... I'd certainly try everything else before pulling out the heater; it gives me a headache just thinking about doing it! :eek:

You all knew it was coming!!! I've always been a Ford man, but they get me sooo frustrated!!! Maybe it's the Aussie in me that roots for the underdog?? Here's why they drive me nuts (but I still won't be tempted by the dark side): Ford persisted with the leaf spring on sedans until XE...

I still think it's a vent problem in (or on the outside of) the heater box. That would explain the difference in temperature and when that's corrected (and the temps the same) you may find that it's also cold. If not, then you have another problem (probably a refridgerant leak)...

I'm thinking it's got nothing to do with the sources of hot and cold air, but more to do with the vents. Perhaps one of the flaps has jammed, the lever's broken, the foam seals have perished and dislodged, or a vaccum leak / vac servo failure that's developed? :rolleyes:

For anyone interested..... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200645647450?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190569909103?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 :)

Hey does anyone know where Roadrunner777 Youtube video has gone? I can't find it anywhere! And what's the progress with the car??? :rolleyes:

Does anyone know if the electric seats from a W126 will fit into a W116? Will the mounting holes line up?

Ok pics have to be included: My XE when I owned it (a rare Hermitage red over charcoal): After a complete rebuild (Hanging Rock 2009): Only slightly different from the original! Note that I didn't have a hand in the rebuild, but it was in very good condition when I passed it on! God I...

I wonder what these would look like on a 450? :rolleyes: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180712717775&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

How low can you go????? Some rather artistic pictures too! :D http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180710892571&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

As you can all imagine I have a few sets of keys!!! :eek: One thing I noticed is that some of my cars have a wider key than others. Are there early / late versions and which one is better for security? I know the master key opened everything, but what about the service key? Did that just...

Would you really pay that much for a so-so engine, plastic add-ons, horrible instruments and TWO energy polarisers???? :eek:

... or lack thereof!!! By request an update on my cars and circumstances. As some of you may be aware, I've recently split with the girlfriend and unfortunately it's meant we'll have to put the house on the market. I simply cannot afford to buy her out. And it's such a shame because this...
