Just had a stainless steel muffler made and fitted to the old W126. Can't wait to pick it up and have a look.

Looks like the battery on my W210 needs replacing - it's 10 years old and won't take a charge. I might also get a new one for the W126 while I'm at it. Does anyone know a good mobile service that will come out to my home and replace them? The cars don;t get used much so is there a particular...

The 2010 MBCNSW Concours is getting closer. Anyone entering? Any early preparation happening?

Picked-up an S-Class wheel yesterday off ebay which, reportedly, came off a W126 420SEL. Paid the princely sum of $5.50 for it. Probably have absolutely no need for it but was rather surprised I got it that cheap.

Ok, I know it's a W116 community here but while I'm in the mood for showing off, here's a few (bad) pics of my W210. It seems that some MB purists aren't keen on the poor 210 but there's something about them that I find really pleasing to the eye.

With various Concours coming up, I thought we could all learn from an expert. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOJqntJjn9I&feature=channel :eek: :eek: :eek:

The old Citroen Deux Cheveux, anyone remember them? I saw one in Sydney yesterday. Used to have one myself back in 1987 and I loved it to bits. Would dearly like to get hold of another one (wife permitting). Can there have ever been a stranger car?

Right, I'm "working" from home today and rather than follow in the footsteps of Des (i.e. take a day off and wreck your car) I've decided to give the engine bay of the 300SE a good seeing to. Pictures to follow.

Right, the headrests are off my W126 and I had a spare hour so thought I'd use and compare a couple of leather care products on them. It's AutoGlym Leather Cleaner and Leather Care Cream versus Duragloss 441 (Leather Shampoo) and 221 (Leather Conditioner). Autoglym: The cleaner was sprayed...

Not for a 116 or a 107 but, err, cough, off a W210. I bought these off ebay for $150. The one shown here is the worst of them. In fact, 2 of them are near perfect. I might try my hand at doing a refurb. http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/tt153/E200K_300SE/FILE0019.jpg (sorry for the naff...

My 126 has a small, dark mark about the size of a 50 cent coin on the drivers seat (leather and the colour is "pebble"). I've tried various leather cleaners and nothing will shift it. With a certain amount of caution, I tried a magic eraser and the mark has now got a little bigger. No real harm...

Thanks to Styria, my W126 now proudly boasts a set of rear foot-rests. Not that any passengers will be allowed to place their dirty footwear on them, but that's beside the point. Many thanks, Styria.

Had a bit of a splurge today and bought myself the following: Meguiars G220 RO Polisher plus a set of The Edge buffing pads Menzerna Final Finish High Gloss Polishing Compound Dodo Juice Lime Prime Surface Prep Dodo Juice Light Fantastic Wax Duragloss Leather Shampoo Duragloss Leather...

Given the recent chat here about clay bars etc, I thought I'd start a thread about detailing products. What products have we had good/bad experiences with? What tips can we pass on? Personally, I find detailing quite therapeutic, but it can also be rather obsessive and can certainly be pretty...

I might be about to buy a 1987 W126 and if all goes well, I'll post pictures in the next week or so. Look out 2009 Concours entrants, because this one is like brand new. :D
