    Should I buy a 280SE

    Looking around for another MB and came across a very nice mid 80's W126 280SE Auto. Its pretty low mileage and looks in very good all round condition. Is the 280 engine powerful enough to lug this beast around and what sort of gallons per mile should I expect? Allan

    W202 fuel filter change.....

    I bought the new one from Eurocarparts together with other items a few months ago, and eventually got around to change the fuel filter. The new one is a Hengst.

    Return from touring France and Spain

    Just got back to Blighty after a fortnight driving through France and Spain in our C180 Elegance. As expected, the car performed perfectly throughout the 2500 mile trip with 4 in, fully loaded and a full roofbox. Even with the 1.8 engine it pulled well, only changing down into 4th on the long...

    Not mine, but I was tootling along the A299 in Kent this evening when a beautiful looking 20year old 280 SE whispered past me at about 80. Little bit of grey smoke drifting out of the exhaust, but it looked the business. Then he had to slow down for traffic and a bigger plume of blue smoke came...
