300se

Hi all - newbie alert here so please be gentle! I'm looking to buy a 300SE Fintail (1965) in mint or near to mint condition as possible... any idea what sort of money we'd be looking at here? Any input, help and advice would be much appreciated - thank you. :thumb:

Last week my V Belt shredded as it got stuck to the belt tensioner roller. Not sure the exact cause but I needed a new belt and also a new roller. I have replaced the roller but can't get the new belt on. I have managed to thread it to the correct position but if I loosen the alternator to...

Not sure if it's been spotted already, but nice looking car and cheap! Beautiful Mercedes 300se For Sale (1986) on Car And Classic UK

Had the car for a year now and the Nokia (!) tyres that came with it are nearing the end of their life. The car is fitted with 205/65 R15 94H front and rear but when I punch the car's details into various tyre sellers' websites, I often seem to get 195 back as the recommended tread width. Can...

I have a 1991 w126 300se and the heating is very poor, it only gives out a luke warm breeze when the car is at full temperature and if I turn the speed up it is hardly noticeable. I have purchased some 2 stage coolant flush but need to locate the drain plugs on the engine. I have done a...

I have a 300se 1991 W126. Just this evening the car cut out resulting in all the lights to come on. Once I pulled over the car started up fine after a few seconds. Not sure what caused this. I checked the forum and the Crankshaft position sensor seemed to be a common explanation. Where can I...

I've got a bit of a problem with my idle in that it pulses between about 500rpm and 700rpm (roughly). My car is a manual W126 300SE and when I dip the clutch and the car is still rolling the idle is fine, but the pulsing idle only occurs when the car is fully stopped. Also, it makes no...

Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this small problem, the car started fine this morning, when I got back home and parked it after a 20 mile run, I noticed the rev counter was very erratic at idle, and the engine was "hunting", like an idiot I switched off and tried to restart, and, the...

Does anyone know the correct part number for a fuel pump relay for a 1988 w126 300se, (no cruise or air con)? The relay I have on the car has a part number 002 545 52 05, I am suspecting this may be wrong as looking on a German Merc part numbers website it listed this part as for a 190 or...

My 91 300SE is drinking oil quite a bit. I did an oil change a few months ago and this helped my car run smoother. My exhaust is leaking a slight amount, will this cause it to drink oil? I find I have to top up about a litre every 1000 miles

This is my first post, and is to say hi. I collected my first Mercedes at the weekend, a 1988 W126 300SE. Basically one owner from new, though had been a dealer demo originally, and only 97,000 on the clock. Fairly base spec with no AC, cruise, or power seats, but that means there's less to...

I have a 1986 300SE (126), it currently runs on 5 star petrol is it possible to run it on 4 star, will the engine need to re-tuned? I hope you can help, my petrol bills are killing me Thanks mike

Had my 1990 300SE for six months now and really enjoying it. Still suffering from an intermittent stalling problem, where it stalls in drive when I pull up at give ways or when making slow 90° turns. Tends to be worse when warm. Took it to my local independent who gave it the once over. He...
