Yes, the lubrication happens when the pump runs. It's not just air con systems, seals dry out all the time

The 850i is on my list, as is a C140. The C107 is really not a big car. Probably the size of a 928 or a bit bigger. It has a decent size boot and decent size back seats.

The SLC is a nice car. it's actually a better car when compared to an R107 SL. They have a longer wheelbase which makes the ride nicer and you have more room. With the windows down and the roof open, you get plenty of open air experience. I still have an 80 450SLC 5.0 in inca red that needs...

In that case, soapy water and pressure test it instead of vacuum.

Hugo boss is a fashion brand. They don't make watches, they put their name on watches and it will arrive in wrap as it protects the finish. A new battery will fix it. I would not bother sending it in for warranty, it will sit for months and the cost of shipping will exceed the cost of a battery...

Just the one, but it's a CL65. I did the heater box reseal on the 560SEC when I replaced the old cracked dash with a new one. It's a big job and the car when I bought it was probably not worth it, had it not been for it being a Euro car with the 300hp motor.

Same color as mine

I've not read everything but have you tried pulling fuses? if the battery drains overnight you have a short on a circuit. You can connect a test light between the battery and the terminal and if the light is on, pull fuses with the ignition off until the light goes out and you'll know which...

approved used means whatever they decide it to mean. It's just marketing words.

Looking good, Under no circumstances should you replace the under bonnet insulation. That's got at least another 10 years / 100,000 miles on it.

My CL65 is pretty torquey and sounds okay

Super resin polish is a polish. It will remove fine scratches. Add a layer of wax to protect the paint after.

General rule 4 cylinders are economic 6 cylinders are smooth 8 cylinders make a lot of torque 12 cylinders are the best of both worlds if you can afford the running costs. As far as snobbery? Buy what you like. Even call it an AMG. Nobody gives a sh*t what you drive and you shouldn't give a...

Check the guide price for trade on whatever publication publishes them. Back when i lived there, it was glasses I think
