    722.6 gearbox interchangability

    I have an R129 with the M104 engine and have just acquired a replacement gearbox which was attached to an OM606 diesel, can I just swap them straight over? Should I use my original torque convertor and will it fit the diesel gearbox ok? Thanks in anticipation.

    R129 subframe bush replacement

    Thank you for your reply, it sounds like the best route is to take the subframe out as I would be working with the car on axle stands and don't fancy fighting some 24 year old bushes on my back!

    r129 SL500 exhaust - Imasaf replacement

    I also need an exhaust for my SL320 so have done quite a bit of searching and now have a quote from Powerflow.co.uk at £500 + Vat to replace 'cat back' as they say in stainless steel so take a look at their site and if you enter your reg and VIN they will get back to you with a quote.

    R129 SL320 inline 6 1998

    The middle and rear boxes of my exhaust are on the way out and having done some research it seems these are no longer available as 'aftermarket' parts, has anyone sourced these parts recently? Alternatively do you know of a stainless steel replacement system at a reasonable price?

    Full respray

    Hi Peter, I found a place fairly close to where I live and made a visit to them. The cars they work on seem to be predominantly Porsche, Ferrari and other high end vehicles and they have a waiting list of about 4/5 months which gave me encouragement. I looked at some of their work and it was...
