This information is handy when comparing the differences between the various installations. Regards Styria

Interesting comparison between two "heavyweights". Regards Styria https://www.windingroad.com/articles/reviews/comparison-2012-jeep-grand-cherokee-srt8-vs-2011-porsche-cayenne-s/?utm_campaign=Weekly+Email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email-357&utm_content=WR80+2

We now have an update on this Montesa 360 Motocross bike. Some five to six years ago a guy in Melbourne spotted this thread on Google - believe it or not. He contacted me on TK and enquired about the bike, questioning details such as ownership, modifications and details of previous owners. I...

I have a photo in mind, but I will have to find it and then email it to one of the Administrators ? Alternatively, I could share from my phone with an Administrator who might then be able to post it on TK -sound plausible, reasonable and anything else ? Regards Styria

A nice selection of cars that took part. There are 107s, 108/109s as well as a W126 plus the black Sports car heading the que. With my Gleaming Beauty, and I am talking about my 6.9 being off the road just at this moment (and has been for some time I am ashamed to admit), I have not been able to...

Yes Mark, I give you full marks - I have already seen the increase in "Lookers" over the last few weeks since I have made a point of highlighting "find me on topklasse.org" in various items I have posted on Facebook. Regards Styria

Found this great video of Facebook - if you're old and a bit of an enthusiast and car buff like me, you will appreciate it. Sean, do you hear ? Anyway, I also just love the rendition of California Blue - how exquisite. Enjoy. Regards Styria...

A very impressive model - outstanding power characteristics, comprehensive write up by this Internet Magazine. https://www.windingroad.com/articles/news/first-look-2013-mercedes-benz-sl65-amg/ BTW Bryce, I think I might have the same problem again. I wonder why I am unable to transfer the...

Many times I have wished that I would know more how to hook up the various vacuum pipes and switches pertaining to the Australian complied 6.9s. I have had this information in my Document Folder since God knows how long. The following seven pages may assist in sorting out various emission...

Not sure if many of you have seen this feature, nor am I certain if it has featured on TK previously. Whichever, and whoever hasn't seen it, this excerpt on our cars makes quite interesting reading. BTW, it's been in my Document Folder for God knows how long. Regards Styria

I have just picked up this little snippet from the Mercedes site in the States. I have had some restoration involvement with a 1966 300SE Coupe, as well as a 1962 220SE Convertible. This was quite a few years ago. The 220 was a straight forward mechanical valve grind and decoke job. The...

Back in the late '90s, the topic of valve recession, converting valve inserts to hardened seats was on the mind of every owner involved with the running of Classic and older cars. You don't hear much about it these days presumably because our fears have been allayed by the addition of Valve...

For me who likes to see how mechanicals work, this is a great video. You can understand why it would be hellishly expensive to try and carry out any sort of work apart from, perhaps, changing engine oil and filter. To me it looks like an absolute masterpiece and a virtual work of art...

6.9 owners would be familiar with the full hydraulic system that , apart from struts and valves, plus some other components, incorporate five Pressure Cells - four for front and back, plus a Master unit that replenishes the system if there is a drop in the suspension level. I recently required...

Something to soothe our tired and sore eyes. If I had all of those in my collection, I would never sleep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_uwa2CPHAc&feature=youtu.be Regards Styria

I agree with you on your observation in the second paragraph. I have a 2.47(rebuilt) differential on hand which, of course, does not have the LSD feature. Two ways to tackle this: Firstly, just fit it in its present configuration and be "extra careful" on a wet road - and I could do this...

I guess it is fair to say that there have been no significant developments on these discussions. That is quite understandable when one considers the cost involved, and the skilled technicians/engineers that would need to be found to implement some of those changes and modifications. My...

We all know that our esteemed force uses unmarked Patrol Cars, as well as surveillance in hiding places etc. In most respects, I am not worried by these patrols as, 90% of the time, I stick to speed limits and observe traffic rules. With Commodores and Falcons being gradually phased out, I now...
