    why does the 500SE have a shorter wheelbase than other SWB W126?

    I've seen this spec a few times, where the 500SE has unique measurements in terms of wheelbase size of any other W126. All the others, including the 560SE are the same except the 500. Does anyone know why?

    Fuel Starvation and poor running

    Was talking to Syria today and he has been trying to get his gold 450SE driving again and was having a problem where it would start and run very poorly. Thinking about this I was wondering if it might be a similar problem as one I had on my old 250SE Coupe. When I bought the car, it would...

    Styria's 6.9

    I was able to take Styria's 6.9 for a drive today. I have driven plenty of M117 engined cars before (450s, 560s etc) but the M100 is in a league of its own when it comes to torque. Regardless of speed or gear you have instant accelleration on tap and instant throttle response. I suspect...

    Aldi car battery chargers are back. They are $30 from memory and I've had mine for a year and found it very good. The only thing my expensive ctek charger has that the aldi doesn't is the auto sense function. Just saw them again today in my local Aldi.
