My W210 E36 turns over ok but won't start, I've been abroad for a few weeks so the cars been left standing, the first time I tried to start it the dash said "charge battery" so I've had it on charge for 24 hours and the battery reads 12.75v across the terminals. I've even tried using a jumper...

Nice pictures but imagine the size of garage you'd need :rock: I've always a hankering for a Harrington Legionaire....anyone know why I wonder?

They made more profit out of a baggy old Escort than they did from the DB7, that made me laugh. Wish I never scrapped the green one I had....or the yellow one.....the list goes on.

1979 Mercedes-Benz 280SE 116 Series, lovely example, 23 old MOT certificates | eBay I quite like this for the money but would prefer a SEL to be honest, still it's BIG enough I suppose.

Either a Porsche air cooled engine (916 or 911) or I have seen scooby flat 6 engines put in old beetles and type 2's. The VW transaxle box is very tough. Love the SL60, every Merc I've had has been Azurite blue, the way the colour changes with the light is fab, sometimes looks purple, blue...

Ti22 | Wales' Premier Detailing Studio, prestige and performance centre amp; Ti22 detailers are in Newport, have a look at their gallery they've done some excellent work

The Merc needs a o/s lower ball joint and then at least tracking but more likely 4 wheel alignment. A coat of wax is in order too for the winter This weekend though changing the shocks on the Rangie cos it's way too bouncy.

That's depressingly cheap for E36 210, I like the black leather interior particularly. That's how mine looks inside, the AMG clocks and steering wheel didn't appear on the 210 until the E55 came out I believe, I'll run mine until it falls apart if thats how cheap they're going for.

There must have been lots not shown on that program. If a company builds a custom fit exhaust I would think they'd need the car to custom fit it to which I think what must have happened.....they made the exhaust on the car the Ed me Ol China is filmed fitting it in his workshop. And.....why...

He'd have been better off doing a straight TR8 conversion than muck about with that load of plastic crap.....he's had 2 bids on it so thats 2 more fellow nutters out there.

That's depressingly cheap for a 36, but if he's looked after the car with the same care and attention he's given that advert I suspect it'll want a few thousand spending on it.

haha lifes just too short :D

That ad has been around a while, I keep an eye on E36s for sale to judge the values....this one has over 150k on the clock, lots been done in fairness but there's no need for all that waffle just puts people off.... My E36 is the same model as that and spec with 100k miles and I reckon £2500...

Excellent program, I liked the part about Ken Miles who'd make stupid pit stops in a race so he could get back out and overtake the Corvettes all over again.

Cool looking camper Les like that. Hong Kong Phooey was one of favourite cartoons when I was a kid.....just last week. That and the Whacky Races.
