I've heard about the seat frames being titanium - especially as they integrated the seatbelt into the seat (which I believe was a first). Them costing the same as manufacturing a Golf is astounding. I've also read about the development costs of the rollbar. As for the grille blades, I'll...

Hi want to change the diff oil on my 1999 R129, the parts counter at Brentford quoted me over £40 per litre! Any other options that meet MB spec and are cheaper? Thanks in advance

I decided to get rid of the Alpine headunit that came with my 1999 SL. A contact has a few units in stock and I wanted to get your opinions on which is the one to go for. I want one with navigation, I probably won't use it much but its so damn cool on an older car. My options are: Mercedes APS...

Going to change the hydraulic fluid for my 1999 R129. I want to bleed the old fluid out by taking off the return line. Can anyone identify which one it is? There were no markings on the pump to indicate direction Thanks in advance

Where can I get the tool to read the error codes?
