Was there ever a manual option? Don't think I have seen one.

Just as an aside, the guy who sold me my car worked for MB when the R129 was launched. He said the car was a must-have for a while (remember Princess Di bought one, which scandalised the press as it was german) and you often get cars with a lot of expensive extras like the 5-sp auto box...

Yep :)

James you probably need to start a new thread for this, but you could also try the process described by Jay above. Good Luck Jon

I suspect the OP was travelling on a discounted ticket, as most of us do. The deal is very straightforward. You give up the flexibility of a full price ticket in order to get a cheaper price but the airline will never offer flexibility on that ticket class. They want you to pay more for the...

My daughter has a similar spec and wants one of these https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=vauxhall+adam&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjI2JrZipnLAhWIa5oKHUvEDJ8Q_AUIBygB&biw=1600&bih=799#imgrc=1OJOrEsJnN1MmM%3A Vauxhall Adam

True, but how many people on the forum are thinking of spending 60k on a car they need to keep overseas for 6 months? Jon

Probably a very minority interest subject, and you haven't given very long for people to think about it. Incidentally I imported an older car from ireland, MOT'd it, then had to wait 3 weeks for the paperwork from DVLA during which time it just sat on the drive. Cheers Jon

That engine does encourage the occasional brief bout of foot-down driving, just for the fun of it. Allegedly . . . Enjoy the car. Jon

Obviously the wife comes first, but my experience is that the dizzy cap is a consumable on these, the root of most problems, and worth changing after more than 3 years regardless of your current issue. Cheers and good luck to both of you. Jon

My front bumper had a split, a scrape, and generally was showing all of its 24 years. Last week I had it in the body shop and it looks like new. £195 Hard to imagine DIY achieving as much, I think.

That was the OP for this thread. Current price HERENCIA RESOURCES (LSE:HER) 0.2000

Glad you found it and if you are an idiot then so am I. And I also came from a C270cdi to my R129. Two thoughts occurs reading your various threads. Is the battery healthy? If so is there any damp around the box under the driver's seat? Either could cause strange electric symptoms. The seat...

I remember this bafflement. You pop the catch and the bonnet comes up an inch. You then reach into the bottom triangle of the star - nothing visible - and bend you finger up towards the centre. Pull, and Voila! Jon

I see you're in Preston. I was in Burnley Tuesday night and it was definitely cold enough then. Brrrr!

OK It looks like your dates are only slightly flexible, and your destination plans aren't flexible? In that case you probably want to book early rather than late, so it's a case of looking for a good early deal. The first thing to do, once flights are showing on systems, is get a feel for...
