    I have joined the 107 club !

    Latest purchase. It is a 1975 450 SL C. Approx. 220,000 km. Service history. Needs some tidy up inside (carpet, seat bolster, etc) but it is rust free ! Yes, I know that is a big statement for a C107, but I have pulled most of it apart and the critical areas for 107's, such as the inside the fan...

    Last weekend's wrenching

    Finally got around to replacing the front and rear shocks on the 6.3 last weekend. The front ones were sort of OK, although the rebound rate on one was double that of the other, however the rears were good old Munro air shocks, that had no return whatsoever ! Now it has new Bilsteins all around...

    Saw a beautiful Gold 6.9 at MB Classic Star today. It has just been purchased from Gosford. It was a one owner car (owner was apparently in his 90's) and it has 111,000 km on the clock. It is having a service for the new owner and new spheres. Can't tell you who the new owner is, but he owns a...

    What is this ?

    I have never really taken much notice of the light pictured in the following link but it is the one in front of the shift lever. I have done bit of a search and cannot come up with any photos of anything similar. When the hazard lights are on, it also flashes in sync. When you turn on the...

    Mercedes fitted luggage

    For many years, Mercedes offered fitted luggage for most of their models, both pre and post WW2. I have various sets for my 300b, 220s ponton, and last weekend, I picked up this set from an auction in Germany for my 170s. Frankly, I "stole" it at EUR 960. This set is made by Hepco, who were the...

    Latest purchase

    Bought this the other day. It is not running and the previous owner has been told that the ECU is kaput. I bought it because I have a 300E-24 and will use mine to test it and hope that is what the problem is. If so, I will get another one from the UK, then decide what to do with it. Because of...

    New (Mercedes) purchase

    I bought this yesterday http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n...psf0ecb4f6.jpg There are other photos, so you should be able to scroll through. They are not the best quality but should give an idea. The former owner is a Brisbane mechanic, of German origin, and has been slowly rebuilding the...

    6.9 # 7114 - it lives !

    Since almost every other car I own is in various stages of repairs, or waiting on parts, I decided to try to get my 6.9 running again. I have not started it for probably 2 years. I bought a new battery, some fresh gas, and a small amount of gas down the intake, and woof - away she went. It idles...

    I suspect I have a stuck valve and/or leaking head gasket, so I will pull the head to have a look and check. Anyone have a source for new head gaskets ? Last ones I bought I got from Niemoller and they were cheaper than anyone in the US at the time, but I have lost the part number. Anyone have...

    Hydro / SLS suspension fluid

    Needed to top up the SLS suspension on the W123 today and went to Imparts for it. Brand is Febi. Cost was a reasonable $10.55/litre. I have no idea of the MB price, however I have seen it on eBay for $55.00 for 3 x 1lt bottles, plus $10 postage, so if you are in need of a top-up, Imparts seems...
