Okay guys went to view the car....brought along my mate who is himself a mechanic..the car starts first go and is fine until it gets warm,then it develops a misfire(chugging),he changed the spark plugs and it sorted it out a tiny bit,but it was still evident what my mate says,it could be...

Cheers man!!..ya im just pondering,i really want the 600 but because there are a few 500's floating around at a very reasonable price,it might not be a bad runner-up :cool: worse case scenario i take the 600,something goes wrong,i break for parts,content scenario i get a 500,best scenario that...

Great bit of ingenuity there my man with the coffee table conversion :D !!! just one question,performance wise is an s500 a million miles away from an s600??.. Regards, dan

absolutely ridiculous tax at approx 1340 Sterling/year but since the car is 20 years old,it can be insured as a classic/collectors car for about 200 Sterling providing you are over 25(i.e named on my Father's policy) and the mileage does not exceed 5000 miles...any additional mileage incurrs an...

Road tax is absolutely ridiclous at approx 1340 sterling/year but i dont really mind being honest if the car just simply drives as it should

thanks for the replies guys,basically what it boils down to: I just want to see if the car runs okay with a new battery and hopefully it is just a battery and small service required as for transportation,it wouldnt bother me too much,the cork-dublin motorway lets the average car/van commute...

1992 Mercedes S600 for sale in Dublin : €1,500 - DoneDeal.co.uk going to look at a 600SEL over the weekend..guy is only looking for 1500euro with offers allowed... want it as my weekend car,but even still i dont want to buy a lemon. any suggestions guys on what to watch out for...

Thanks for the advice!...i have noticed on one or 2 occassions turbo stall,i was in 4th gear and I think i applied the boost too late up the rev range at a high speed....got a right fright!!!hasnt happened since but i guess its a warning from the car: DO NOT ABUSE ME I AM NOT A HONDA CIVIC :D...

yes it is not something i would be too worried about....its only when you get to the stage where you are losing too much oil or water that problems can occur.... it was something that just always made me uncomfortable when driving the car hard,knowing that there was a weak point somewhere in...

they leak in exactly the same place caused by the vibration of the alternator,alot of people think there is no leak but it was my friend who pointed it out to me...... he is an avid w202 collector and he says he hasnt seen a w202 which hasnt been affected at some stage...its such a shame...

these volvo engines are i mean not the c230's

absolutely right flanaia....my friend got a 1999 s80 t6 with only 65000 miles on the clock.... automatic gearbox failed after 4500 miles...apparently they are the worst trans ever put in a modern car,they simply could not handle the torque... i wont tempt fate but so far the manual is a joy...

cheers guys....its a 2000...the last of that particular model i do believe....just wondering is a blow off valve an absolutely essential piece of equipment for the turbo in the engine or is it just hear say???...ive heard for and against arguments!!

had to sell my beloved c36 a while back due to the fact of hopefully making it to oz in the late summer....wasnt sustainable due to tax at nearly 1800euro a year and me still being classed in the "boy racer" insurance category...i will get another one hopefully!! picked up a volvo s70 t5 at a...

performance figures differed very very slightly since it is handbuilt as was explained to me...e.g bhp anything from 280-287bhp

got a quick drive in an s600 today,so random,guy was looking at my c36 in tesco carpark so he offered me a quick spin down the dual-carriageway.... WITHOUT A DOUBT THE FASTEST CAR I HAVE EVER BEEN IN... might be tempted to buy one in the new year as i totally underestimated this car... i...

got my first c180 when i was 20 and im 22 now and have my c36 :)

my friend is thinking of getting a clk200 kompressor...wants something fast and different to a civic,subaru, ricers etc... i am trying to tell him that "kompressor" does not equate to rocket ship!!...maybe a remapped 230 would do the job but in general is there really a whole lot of...

SL73 AMG ........one of the rarest and most sought after mercedes of all time??yes?no?maybe?!!!!!!!!!!!!
