Hi guys In the market for a w203...I know the bodywork and electrics were poor in the pre facelift models but what about the Diesel engines? I'm hoping to get a 05 plate if I can...but wanted the opinions of people who own these? Mduddn

Hey Guys....having difficulties with the rear brake disc change on my w126 sec. Having removed the large caliper bolts...just realised that the brake fluid hose supplying the caliper is metal and won't let the caliper move away from disk...any suggestion of how this could be freed up?

Thought so....was trying my luck!

Long shot I know, but does anyone have a AMG/REmus w126 rear muffler they happen to want to get rid of??

Having PD gough make my exhaust at the moment. I'm having a dilemma about the central (kidney shaped) mufflers and whether I should keep them in or take them out. A lot of people have gone with straight through system. What do you guys think? I don't want it load, but like to hear the grumble of...

I think they used to be called top gear st albans. They havn't got a particularly good reputation around the local circle to enthusiasts! I think Pontoneer had his exhaust made from PD gough if i remember the thread correctly. They are asking £1200 for the whole thing including fitting, which...

Yep heard all those names. I've also heard good stuff about mij will call them tomorrow as well. They are quite a distance away which is my only concern. Yeah Ian...the longlife branch didn't fill me with a lot of confidence, which put me off really. Do you know if the 88-89 500 sec has a tri-y...

Lol.....good point! I'm in west London. Yes I'm actually seeing them in the morning

I guys...the sec is coming along very nicely. The problems I've had with vibrations are now sorted. So next in the restoration is a custom exhaust. Went to longlife today, they took a look at the exhaust and were concerned about the downpipe bolts. These are corroded/worn and they are concerned...

Absolutely red! Ride will get even better once I've ditched the stretch tyres! This project has been slow to progress tho!

Hey guys! Vibration has gone with the new custom spacers!!!! Finally got it driving the way it should. The wheels had stretch tyres on when I brought them and i'm wanting to change them now the other issues are sorted. Went to a local tyre company who said i'd need 235/40/18 in the front and...

So finally figured out how to solve the wheel fitment problem, but need one bit of information I thought some of the experts maybe able to help with. Any ideas on the hub depth on these cars?I know the diameter is 66.6mm, but I need to know the depth so I can figure out bolt size! Thanks for all...

Absolutely stunning car!!!! Love the widebody look on the SEC

Thats an absolute disgrace!!!! Really sorry to hear that

Right...here is the new ride height! you may say it doesn't look too different, but trust me it does look a feel very different!!!! sorry the quality of the pics is poor was early morning, car needs a clean and a bad camera! I'm just sorting out the rear wheels so excuse that also....but...
