Bryce, it comes back to me now. I did suspect it had featured previously. This car is a strange mixture of good and perhaps "not so good". The original thread amply illustrates the ride height of both front and rear suspensions, particularly the back. I don't think it would ride nicely. As far...

Jim, I have previously posted on the matter of Central Locking, AND how to fix it. http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2654&highlight=Central+Locking Just bear in mind that bellows more than likely will have to be purchased from the States (Mercedes Source may be able to help), and...

Jim, the MB Club of NSW does have Workshop Manuals for the W116 models. They are huge books (very thick), and there are two volumes. I used to be the librarian in days gone by, so I have a pretty fair idea as to how useful those books really are. To tell the truth, far from being...

Spotted another Rover P5 for sale on Facebook. This time the car is located in Otago, NZ., at an advertised price of $22K. https://www.facebook.com/groups/504751159539721/permalink/2588612677820215/?sale_post_id=2588612677820215 This car looks the goods, and it is very similar to both of my...

Bryce, it's safe to say that this collection represents CARS OF THE WEEK. What a great picture, and what great cars. Personally, I am just blown away. Regards Styria N.B. BTW, I wonder how the owners have resolved a possible issue with the suitability of our petrol with the...

Hi Sean, have you seen the circuit board of a 116 cruise control unit ? It is a maze of everything that I am not familiar with, nor recognize any of the components. Some years ago, I decided to take advantage of one of the TK members who volunteered to fix my modules that weren't working at...

BTW, both of those cars are in absolutely superb condition. The Grey One with the gear lever sticking out is in fact a 1963 Mark 2A Coupe. How do I know ? Simple. There is an Oil Check level switch on the Instrument Panel. It was the only version ever produced with that arrangement. Petrol Main...

You're pretty close Michel. Even as far back as 1963, the Rover Company knew all about exhaust gases recirculation. It is a remarkable piece of engineering. I have a bit of a story to tell about this particular under bonnet item. Back in the old whenever days I drove to Woodford in the...

Short and sharp video of this fabulous, yet much maligned, Mercedes. I quite like the style, albeit a little bland, but from a distance, the rear end treatment is impressive. Obviously, the V12 and V8 models are complex cars and, by definition, expensive and difficult to maintain. Matt, one of...

......any advances on this one - just stumbled across it. It still makes informative reading. Regards Styria N.B. BTW, I think it was Ambulances that were first fitted with 15" Bundts - and maybe Police cars as well.

Wheels can be like beautiful shoes - they can maketh the man. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKkeDB1cYUo ......or, another choice. I must admit that is just an absolutely beautiful car. The picture appears to be Russian sourced, and we do know just what enormous amounts of...

We all are familiar with the fact that under bonnet temperatures can reach quite high levels. Come to think of, so do outside bonnet temperatures to the extent that one can hardly touch the bonnet to check oil or water levels after, for instance, you have been on a high speed country drive. I...

As an aside, you've got to ask yourself how Tesla will survive the imminent onslaught from rival manufacturers that are now getting into fully operational Electric cars. This is the new 2019 Peugeot. https://www.carshowroom.com.au/news/peugeot-unwraps-next-gen-20-fully-electric-e-208/ They say...

An amazing automobile embodying unbelievable mechanical features for its day. Regards Styria N.B. ......and worth a fortune nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrR-EjOLUrY

Bryce, this one is a bit rough and untidy, but still quite acceptable to a certain extent. It's strange, but someone has sent me an email regarding the purchase of a P5B willing to pay better than reasonable money, and that person must have spotted this TK thread somewhere along the line. I...

I got this self same tool from a W124 - once I'll find it, I might have a bit more information. Regards Styria

From memory, I think it is an 18 mm size spanner, but I am not aware of its significance in the overall scheme of things. Maybe for ....ah...hmmm. I have got one floating in one of my tool rolls. It's not a spark plug spanner. Geoff, I have no difficulty removing any of the 6.9 plugs, and I...
