    buying from City Dealer

    A couple of dealers have said recently that you shouldn't keep a constant speed and vary the load until at least 1500km. Once up to temperature you should even use full throttle every now n then to bed in the rings properly. I've heard reports saying an engine won't behave normally (lower...

    Thoughts about the 6.9

    I was wondering today what MB could've done to make the 6.9 more destinctive from the rest of the W116s and why they chose not to at the time? In fact, I was wondering why they chose to provide option code 261 (delete trunk badge)? On making them more destinctive, my suggestions would've...

    Green Lantern

    I originally bought some parts from it after a tip-off. During my panic stripping, I quickly assessed the rest of the car and decided it was so good that the whole thing was an essential purchase! I initally got the seatbelts and fuel divider (along with various smaller bits), but with the...

    buying from City Dealer

    Went into the big smoke today, intending to test drive an A or C Class. We also considered test-driving VW, Audi, Volvo, and Lexus later in the day. After 4 hrs at the MB dealer we ended up with..... After a shaky start, the experience was excellent and we take delivery of her in a week...

    new find 450 sel

    If it didn't have air injection pipes I'd swear that was a 500SEL engine! It'd pay you to get the vacuum cleaner out and check for rust in the plenum and firewall as per the following thread: http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=4390 If it has bad rust in these areas then it's a...

    6.3 parts car

    I know it's not a 6.3, but I'm sure many parts are interchangeable and it could save a very sad one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271158287947?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    The vacuum cleaner is your friend

    Today I got out one of my industrial vacuum cleaners and attacked Moby and Arrow; OMG the crap that came out! I'd even steam cleaned Arrow recently.... So some suggestions on where you should focus your attention: Fuse box (RHS), Cruise control actuator (underneath), Suspension front valve...

    Classic vs Current in 30+ Years

    I'm wondering how well an SLS will age and what they'll be like in 30+ years? Being that most parts are unrepairable (computers and all plastics), will parts be so insanely expensive that they're almost worthless? The W140 V12 almost falls into this category now.... If that's the case it'll...
