Hey there! to be honest I’d say your on the money there with a head unit like that ^. I wondered if this continental unit would look too modern or if it would blend correctly in the 6.9. It has the yellow lighting backed dials and screen which I quite like. Gives off a warm glow reminiscent of...

Apologies in advance, this is going to seem like a silly question and indeed I just need clarification on what I already believe to be the case. I have purchased a HPF suspension cable (MB part number a1263200191 - routed from center of instrument cluster - below) into the firewall and out to...

A great day today. One of the quoted "unobtanium" chin lip spoilers has been located and purchased, a sheer stroke of luck lead to me finding it. After exhausting all forms of search engine results online, and armed with the original part number for the chin lip spoiler, I finally decided to...

Hey there Michael, From what I have now sighted. It appears as though Blaupunkt will be marketing this unit for around the €700 mark. Perhaps maybe it will be a German unit therefore? I would be interested to learn if the unit will be from China or not. If it does end up being ‘genuine’ so to...

Hey there guys, I’ve just come across what appears to be a new addition to Blaupunkt’s radio range. It is the Blaupunkt Frankfurt MB and it is to be available for sale apparently in the winter of 2025 (so they are saying). Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this type of vintage look...

Hey there Mark, That sounds like a great idea for ‘waking up’ the system so to speak from my take on it. Another chap from the w116 forum suggested the same so I reckon there would be absolute merit in your method. I will keep that in mind for future endeavors. Loving this car 6 months in and...

To chime back in on this post from earlier, I have now identified and rectified the issue. All of my efforts to purge the system yesterday of old fluid must have upset the switch disc and its ball bearings and pins (below the disc). I managed to get the disc off (being careful not to shear off...

Forgot to add: would it be the case potentially that debris has worked its way into the switch unit or regulator thereby blocking the control disc from actioning movement?. Should one’s next step now be to check for blockages?.

Gday all, Just wanting to report the days workings on Sherman the German. (See photos attached of today’s inclusions). As I have come to understand that for now at least, my valve blocks appear to be doing their job correctly and are also not leaking at present, I decided to go ahead and...

Hey there oversize, The company “spareto” who sold the spheres uses DHL for transport. I found also about 4 years back when I had a e38 bmw with the same style of accumulators for its rear self leveling, DHL was used in that scenario then also and had no issues either with any regulations...

Yeah and the price for the spheres to Australia including freight all up (5x spheres and freight which only took 5 business days from the top of the world) $1160 AUD approx from memory. Not bad considering there’s a guy on eBay trying to sell one sphere for $580 AUD

Hey there all, Im new to the forum, I’ve made an introduction post in the relevant section introducing myself and my vehicles. I did however, want to also share with you all some quite good options for rare spares that I have come across in my hunt to gather supplies for my own 6.9...
