aaargh, spoke too soon. i was going to have a blast out to the shops in it today, started it and what do you know, the light is back on and its revving. darn. going to get a new relay, il let you know how i get on. :)

thanks to blackC55 and jaymanek for the advice.:rock: took the relay out and the contacts were a bit dirty and green. gave them a rub with some fine emery paper and a squirt of contact cleaner and the job is a good 'un, starts and runs perfectly. i was going to swap the relay out of my W124 but...

can the relay be stripped and the joints resoldered? or should i just buy a new one? :) btw, the plates are show use only.;) edit - just been looking at the ecp site and it seems the OVP is the same on my W124 E220, does any one know where abouts it is situated so i can try the one of...

ive checked the 10A fuse in the OVP relay and its ok, could the relay be goosed? :)

cheers for the info, and for the record its a 500. at the moment im clocking up 300+ miles per week in my trusty daily W124 E220.it would be nice to be able to take the SEC to work during the summer and return some decent economy. it has been washed since ethe pic was taken.:D those wheels...

this is the first opportunity ive had to thank you, sir, for the advice and information on the head gasket swap on my e220. your help was invaluable. im pleased to report ive done over 5k since the work i did and have had no problems at all. so once again, thankyou very much. and a merry...

ian, is there any other time that would be suitable to give you a call? after 5.30 week days or perhaps saturday? cheers dave

thanks for the offer, unfortunately im unable to use my phone at work. any chance you could whip a brief description up here? dave

hello folks, i need to take the head off my E220 to change the core plug at the back, so obviously il need a new gasket to go back on. i dont have a manual and can find little info on the net. so my questions are, what do i need to know, bolt torques, can the chain tensioners be re-used and how...

there was a small hole in the radiator, which is sorted now. ive already changed the filter in the box, and done a service on the engine. im more familiar with the foibles of w123s and 126s so i thought id ask for some advice. as regards the arch trims, i hate them and they are coming off, but...

could the knowledgeable types bombard me with information on these models. whats likely to break, engine 'M' code, or anything else im likely to need to know. cos ive just bought this came with a free water leak, which is why it looks higher at the front, it had just been on the jack...

is saving a few quid worth risking your life for? when replacing fuel lines always use new pipe or hose. thats what i do anyway. :)

hello, quick question for you. kind of bodywork related. a friends mother has bought an '87 R107 300sl.it came with the hard top on it. the question is, how do you unfasten it? ive not looked at it yet, so i thought id ask on here, that way i can look all smug when i can get it off.:D cheers...

nice one buddy, you :rock: :D

my opinion.... id use them to ethnically cleanse the country in a biblical passover kind of way. instead of using lambs blood above your door to protect yourself from the angel of death dont put one on your car. football sucks big time. i couldnt care less if we win or lose. my 2pence worth.
