    6.9 Vic Number Plates

    Well I tried, but missed out on these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170788317557?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Now what's interesting is not the number of bids, but the number of bidders; 10 to be exact. Being they wouldn't suit another car, am I correct in assuming there's...

    Ronal Wheels

    Well these would look good with some different centre caps. The polishing's been done to a very high standard. Seems like Poland is a good source of hot looking wheels, but postage would be a problem and makes them less attractive...

    Ideal ambient temperature

    With all the driving I've been doing lately I've discovered that Deep Blue runs best with an ambient temperature around 19deg c. Higher or lower and the difference is quite noticeable.... I'd imagine it would vary depending on the vehicle and induction system. Any thoughts, or experiences??

    450SEL sold for $1500

    WOW I had a look at this one and it was very sad: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/280830216664?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Rust in most doors, and the LPG tank was outta date. Lots of noises from the engine and the owner hadn't even checked the oil! It sounds like a...

    450 D-Jet for sale

    Is anyone interested in a 450 D-Jet engine? I'll sell it to anyone here before I head to E-bay... It's still in the car and running. It runs a little rough (no noises or smoke), but it needs a tune and the fuel's probably below par. Tony?? :)

    Navy 6.9 for sale

    Here's a new one. It has the usual problems, but it's a Euro version and a desirable colour combination. It looks like a good project: :) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170788310634?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    Suspension repair kit

    They say they can supply one for a 6.9 at around $400 more. Is that way too dear? Another concern is will it suit a RHD configuration (being that it's sold in the US)?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140491009689?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    6.9 Waterpump?

    If these are the real deal, they're very cheap. If you have to supply a core, that might be different... Ah looks like I didn't read that properly; yes a core is required. Not so cheap after all. I have the seal kit, so I'll look at rebuilding it myself...

    How to Change Your Coolant

    Here's the method I've developed to change coolant. It can be adapted to almost any car: 1. Jack up the car (don't forget to drive it on some small timber ramps first, so the trolley jack will fit), 2. Put safely on axle stands, 3. Have a big floor squeegee on hand, 4. Put a large container...

    D-Jet to K-Jet and back

    Can anyone explain why MB used D-Jet (which is very similar to today's MPFI systems), then went to K-Jet (which wastes fuel through continuous injection) and then went back to something similar to the old D-Jet??? It seems to me they tried something different, but found it wasn't any better and...
