So if I was looking at buying something far newer (<10YO), what should be avoided and why??? Go....

So I'm trying to get an idea of the numbers of M117.968s in Australia and this is what I currently know: 10 in total. 1 x WA, 1 x NSW, 1 x SA, 1 x TAS, 1 x QLD (wrecked), 5 x VIC (incl 1 wrecked LHD). Further detail: WA: Update, navy ext, beige int, seat heaters, orth frt seats, rear blind...

Interested in people's theory on what's the most cost effective method to buy and sell a car as daily transport. Specifically do you hold onto a car until it's actually dead, or sell it sometime prior when it's still worth something? Do you buy a new car and write off the depreciation, or buy...

There's a new W126 book out that I really hope to purchase soon... Seems like lots of research has gone into it with exclusive access to the archives granted to the author! It's all over FB and I'll see if I can find a link.

Well I'm putting it out there in the hope that someone might have some sitting on a shelf, or under dead car. Even some that you recall seeing at the wreckers.... Ones that need rebuilding are ok too as long as the shafts aren't badly damaged and they're not seized. I discovered my 560 has...

Well I recently had an experience with the SLS low pressure hoses. Anyone know why I seems almost impossible to buy metric hoses in Australia?? I thought we abandoned imperial stuff years ago.....

WTB Mercedes W126 560 speedo head with combo mph/kmh 260kmh+. My 560 Euro has the wrong one....

From FB. The owner said all you need is a good auto elec but i have my doubts. No idea how they hooked up the hvac!!

Not that I'm advocating this, but for those of you that think a M117 can't do a real burnout check it out! The squeamish should look away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1577wdQI00&feature=youtu.be

I hope this link works.... For those of you not using Facebook much: https://www.facebook.com/ezio.russa/videos/903439169709681/ From what I can tell the car was modified in Melbourne so I hope to see it in the metal someday soon. And no I don't want to buy it but would like the pick the...

Just for something different (and begging for a V8)! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281791024199?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'm a member of MBCV, so how do I get access?? :confused:

So.... what's the quickest and most effective way to get these things separated from their corresponding knuckles? I've already tried a pickle fork but bent one like a banana. I had success with a propane torch and a grinder, but it was hardly quick or professional....

W123 280TE fuel pump relay 001 545 68 05 $204.82 plus tax.... Are they serious?? :mad::confused::eek:

Can anyone confirm the old part number supersedes to 0020919701 ? It seems the new pump has a much smaller diameter than the old one, which would suggest it won't deliver as much fuel. Stranger still is the fact it appears the same as a 300/420/560 pump and even thought they're all smaller...
