280se

In September 2009, myself and a few friends have decided to drive from Aberdeen to Barcelona in the name of charity. For this event we have decided to employ the services of a 1986 Mercedes 280SE, sporting a none too shabby 200,800 miles. As i have very little experience of a 20 odd year old...

Hello folks, My '85 280SE has a braking issue: sometimes when coming to a halt, there's a resistance in the pedal near the end of it's travel, which then 'gives', causing a little bit of a 'jerk' in the final stop. It only happens at very low speeds, just before coming to a stop. It's...

I have been trying to find reference to how to change the oil filter as finding a service manual is as easy as a flight to the moon in Melbourne Australia. Where is it? Tips on how to change? Is 6 L enough if the oil filter is changed? or do I need to allow more for the filter?

Hi, I'm pretty clued up when it comes to modern day mercs, but a good friend of mine wants to sell his 1969 280 SE 4dr saloon (long wheel base?) Automatic (Tax exempt) Its done a genuine 123k and he has owned it from nearly new. The car is in pretty good order, but the bottoms of the doors...

Ive recently bought a 1972 W108 280SE 3.5 that i intend to restore and it will need a few panels.Im not in any mad rush so i thought i would ask if anyone knows to any before i start spending big money at the main agents. I need a pair of good front wings,both rear inner and outer arches,both...

Hello, I drive a 1987 G-wagen, but my question is most likely to be answered here. The regular G engine 2.8L m110.994 failed. I purchased an m110.989 from 280SE/SEL 1981-1985 (185HP). I am looking for a power/torque chart or an actual dyno plot for this engine. I will appreciate any help.

Hi all See link below... http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_popup.jsp?did=14932&pageid=2&originalid=&gid=nogroup&tid=80&start=4&distance=0&adcategory=cars&channel=DEALERPAGE&id=200740295849212 I've been for a look around this 280SE today. It has a full history, 4 owners from new, a...

Was having my usual surf on ebay and spotted a nice 280SE. Looks a nice one - he wants far too much on the buy it now. Looking at the clock, I'd say it's had some miles 'wiped' of it as the 100000k marker is out of line............... A dodgy car dealer (possibly)...

and maybe not the best colour but.... nice looking car Guide price seems optimistic but how do you value a 35 year old S-Class with only 11,000 miles?

I can't help myself. Bought another 280SE today. :o This one is in good condition with 260k kilometres on the clock, HUGE service history, original books, etc.

Just doing a search for V8's and came across this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mercedes-Benz-280SE-1972-3500-V8-40K-miles-A-Green-col_W0QQitemZ290151476039QQihZ019QQcategoryZ9855QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

This is "technically" my wife's car, but..... :rolleyes: Everything in original condition, rather clean for it's age. Which is code for (leaky windscreen, horrible steering, no boot key, passenger window doesn't work, gear indicator doesn't work, clock doesn't work, dashboard wood is...

Looks quite nice to me, and has interesting history to boot: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1969-Mercedes-Benz-280SE-4-door-comfort-with-class_W0QQitemZ180136336549QQihZ008QQcategoryZ31360QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi All, Now that I am down in Australia - I need a car, but cannot make up my mind. My wife *really* wants one of these, and it seems cheap enough: http://ninemsn.carpoint.com.au/used-car/MERCEDES/280SE/New%20South%20Wales/csn1136510.aspx EDIT: JUST BOUGHT IT!

It's a shame the seller didn't complete primary school. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-GREEN_W0QQitemZ120128586550QQihZ002QQcategoryZ31360QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I am an owner of a 280SE 3.5 for more than a year now and I have my sights set on a W111 3.5 V8 Coupe/Cabrio if one can be found. I drove a 6 cylinder Coupe last week and it just did nothing for me. After driving a 3.5 V8 280SE I just can not see myself settling for anything less. Can...

Folks, I'm writing a buying guide on the W111 280SE coupe and cabriolet for Octane magazine, and I need some help from somebody who knows these cars. I need to include all the key things to look out for - if you know these cars really well or you can recommend a specialist who does, please...

not mine,from another forum and can't post on classifieds http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=225894 i like the look of this one

My uncle bought this engine to drop into his 280E but then decided to give his car a top end overhaul instead. Open to sensible offers. Currently in my granddad's garage in Neasden, North-West London. Local pickup would be prefered but if someone seriously wants it I can find out how much...
