What you are looking for is probably a fan warning decal. A new version is now yellow. Available from MB dealers.

Indeed, however while handling the bulb change, I'd suspect a loose bulb contact on the SRS slot within the instrument cluster. This results in the SRS warning light staying lit for about 4 minutes then extinguishes. The only way to get rid of this nuisance warning light is STAR diag machine or...

The reason of the driver side's wiper blade in a w126 hitting the rain gutter on the A pillar, is that the crank mechanism is worn out. A friend of mine just had his wiper crank mechanism overhauled (bits and pieces from another car), with proper lubing the inside of both wiper shaft spindles...

Actually it's standard / economy. The shift gate with engine brake "B" position is normally found in the V8 models. Yours is a 300SE and therefore does not come with it. 4) What is the colour of the leaked fluid? The sensors and switches for the aux fans should be tested to ensure the...

I just had mine replaced. Car is a C220 MY96, donor engine is M104 E320 97MY (W210). Fits perfect, just have to remove one pin off one of the flange for the pipe. A few weeks ago, a friend of mine had his C240 W202 compressor replaced using the the same part number compressor. FYI, part number...

Cluster from 98 models (white faces), may probably NOT work with 96MY cars since the wiring and electronics are different. Forget about the 93-95MY, their clusters are different to later models, even by appearances. I didn't try plugging in the unit when I had a chance. Too afriad to muck...

Have done the transformation, the only thing that can be moved over are the pointers and the dial faces. The clear plastic piece for lighting doesn't fit; new cluster use small bulbs, older cluster 2 big bulbs in the centre. The scale will not light up evenly at night either. Masking tape from...

WICKED!! Probably one of the nicest W123 around, 20k mileage is another huge plus!!!! Love ya car.

I once had mine apart since the mirror housing rattled when the car was moving along. The plastic catches for the spring clips inside were totally gone, so a few lines of 3Ms double sided extra strong adhesive tape were to the rescue. The mirror housing and the LED bits are brittle, if you...

Had bought an aftermarket avantgard grille, which came in black. Repainted the slats to sort of silvery grey-ish, resulting in a newer style elegance grille. Just a different look, suiting a non-sporty mod.

The H3 bulb has a clamp locking it in place which can be removed by squeezing its ends and out of lock. It's a bit fiddly and may hurt your fingers. Use a torch, you'll see better. If replacing the main H4 bulb, be very careful with the reflector housing. Its socket (for adjustment) is easily...

A bit of info. illustration shows 96/97 model, 98 model sensor near fuel gauge.

pre 98 cars have 2 big bulbs (2W each), the rest are 1.2w with blue base. On 98 ones all bulbs are 1.5w, beige base. Only lights of equipments fitted to the car will light up. Only earlier cars (93-95) all lights do light up, even on vacant slots, before starting the car.

Bulb cover, to reflect light onto the reflector, as well as reducing glare since the older headlight assy use H1 bulb as dipped beam.

mine was the seat belt reel making the click click noise as the car moves along. the reel was thrown away and replace. sorted. with your case, the squeak may be soften with felts glued on the bits that rub, i think.

older axle design on W126 are difficult to find wheels that fit with proper offset. Only older AMGs with ET11 (8Jx17") or Lorinser RS90 ET22 do fit without having to fit spacers to keep the track width. Newer design do have ET30 or more some do fit but may be rather too close to the inside of...

This is a massive "oh, c*ck"

brilliant stuff

Hi all, I'm very fond of the old style shift knob as on W124 and earlier. I wanna transfer the knob plus the base (yoke) onto the W202 RHD, but wonder if they will fit and fuction okay, since the slotted gate are of the opposite in shape. OR do I need to use the whole assembly from early...
