    W124 moving to Spain - registration hints?

    Heart ruling over head, we've decided to take our 1996 W124 RHD cabriolet to Spain for a few years, so we'll have to go through the re-registration process in due course. We've owned it for years and of course it's fully VAT paid, so I don't think we'll have to pay any major import taxes etc...

    Both ABS and ASR lights on our 1996 W124 E320 came on simultaneously and permanently recently - independent MB specialist saying very expensive control unit (£1200) needs replacing - and it's a very rare fault. Anyone had similar experience? - or cheaper diagnosis! Thoughts gratefully...

    sticky auto box - any advice pls!

    The auto gearbox on our recently purchased 1996 E320 appears to be sticky when cold - basically it won't change up out of first gear for about the first 30 - 60 seconds of driving, even taking it up to say around 3500 revs. After the first minute it works fine. Car's done less than 40k. Any...
