I've made the decision to list my 2001 W220 S500 for sale, 218k's, I'm the second owner and have had it since 88k's. Never had any major issues. I've always had it serviced by my local mechanic in Seven Hills and have a Autel Scanner for diagnostics. For the right price it comes with the car...

A mate/customer of mine is after a T350 for his chevy something or other, I think he said a chevelle but my mind went blank when he said chev:rolleyes: Just thought I'd throw it out here on the off chance. Ant

Anyone interested in a W126 Service Manual? It's in great condition and I have no further need for it, offers?

Recently my alternator light has begun to remain on after starting, not charging at all, then after reaching operating temp it goes out suddenly. I've installed a volt meter now and can confirm it is charging the instant the light goes out. It will sometimes glow very dimly, with no charging...

Six 3 had some rust repairs carried out recently, and a new look emerged

Just a Heads Up http://www.m-100.co/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8147

The windows on my 109's and 126 work when the ignition is off but the drivers door is open, they only work while the ignition is on in the 116, regardless of the drivers doors position. Is there an issue with my 116 or is this how it should be? if so why the change and change back between...

When I bought Six 3 back in '06 it had been fitted with a W108 fuel tank to provide clearance for the tow bar, the correct W109 6.3 specific 105 litre tank is about 50mm deeper than the 80 litre tank. So I found a 109 tank, 2 in fact, and put them aside for the day I would get around to...

Not my car this time, but the following demonstrates the importance of checking oil flow. A friends 6.3 developed a noisy top end so we pulled the cam covers to have a look see, this is what we found on #3 exhaust cam lobe Notice the burnt oil and damage to the following edge of the cam lobe...

A rapidly increasing oil leak from the back of the left hand side head gasket along with worn valve guide seals on Six 3 meant it was time to pull the heads and put things right. I thought I would post the progress and steps up here for those who are interested (and because Styria nagged...

The transmission in my 6.3 has had a slight leak ever since I bought it, when driven daily it used to reduce to a drip every other day so it was never really a problem however reduced use would result in a larger loss. Of course it gradually got worse until the car was simply undriveable, 2...

Over the last 3 weeks Six 3 has rarely left the garage because I have had reason to drive a mix of cars back to back. Time to bore you all with my observations, comparisons and opinion First up my Hilux 4WD, a 2004 model with only 48K on the odo. It is the basic dual cab, no carpet, hand crank...

I have Dads C240 in my garage for a few repairs, replace the drag link which comes with tie rods as a complete unit, $355 for the part and a few hours on my back, easy. Now the fun bit, the car drives wonderfully when you drive it gently. Floor the pedal and it just plays stupid, it will not...

The reason I bought the W108 280SEL mentioned in another thread was for the interior wood. Thankfully it proved to be sound and in great condition, it will need refinishing of course but there is no delaminating or chips in the veneer. I have started 0000 steel wooling the dash bow in the...

A few weeks ago I bought a rusty 280SEL on ebay for $610 to part out simply for the LWB interior wood, dashboard and crash pad and of course the LWB specific parts such as rear window glass and lock mechs, door and roof brightwork, tailshaft and steel brake lines to the rear. The car was in...

#2723 has developed a howl from the tranny that increases with engine revs, this has started after I topped up the ATF a few days ago on a really hot day. The trans was up to temp when I topped it up, having driven about 20 miles prior to filling to the top mark. The next day the trans dripped...

Over the Christmas break I went for a bit of a run in the Six 3. I was mucking around with the GPS today and found this Max Speed....no comment;)
