    Long shot but anybody know of one? Bare without ancillaries is fine but needs to be in good order otherwise. Cheers

    W126 300 SE running issue

    Hi Just acquired a 300 SE (1990) to keep my SEC company. It's a bit of a project so today I stuck a new set of plugs in and a decent battery to start it up. It started on the button and idles fine, however if you stab the throttle it coughs and runs poorly. If on the other hand you build...

    C126 interior lights....

    Hi All the interior lighting, dials, switch back lights...the lot, has stopped working in my 1985 500 SEC. I've checked the fuse and it's fine. Seems weird that it's all gone, not just instrument lights. Any ideas? TIA

    Dead V8 (M117 ideally) R107 W126 etc wanted.

    Odd request but I need a dead (a working one would be a waste as it's to be broken) V8, ideally a M117 or a later one will do. I can't pay mega money, hence not really after a nice one but will collect with cash and give you better than the scrap man :) Please PM me if you have an old and dead...

    W126 500 SEC idle problem

    Mine always started fine (and re-started fine after having a tizzy) It was just annoying having it die at idle speeds...which you end up doing a lot of with a big V8 auto and can't keep the rev's up "manually" in the same way you can with a manual.

    Under bonnet sound insulation

    I guess the piece that was on my car disintegrated many moons ago! There is one seller on eBay doing a new replacement but at £80 delivered I was wondering if they are available anywhere else? Alternatively could I just buy the material and cut to shape?

    Have you ever been pulled over by the Police?

    Only once. Just a random pull during the early hours in town around Xmas time. Hadn't had a drink and all my papers in order but the copper was still a total douche.

    W126 500 SEC idle problem

    Well an update. I THINK I've cured it. I took the Idle Control Valve off and gave it a good soak and clean with meths and then a blow through (LOTS of muck came out) and the problem seems to have gone away...fingers crossed!

    How did you?

    First was a 380 SEC about three years ago, bought unseen off eBay on a whim. Didn't really have space for it so kept it a month and sold it for a profit. Second was a 500 SE a few months back which I sold because I wanted another SEC...which led me to the current 500 SEC. Definitely got a...

    Thanks for the input all! I'll have chat with the dealer on Tuesday and look at local indies. I don't suppose anybody can recommend a good Indy with older model experience in the Midlands area?
