Hi, I posted before regarding the timing chain going on my 276k mile 1988 420SL. I have located a relatively low mileage engine out of a 420SE to replace - does anyone know whether there are any issues with replacing the SL unit with one from an SE? Thank you Martin

Its a 1990 H plate, I have been using it daily and is a comfy smooth car to cruise about in. I have just put on 6 months tax and still has MOT until July. This is a nice usable car, the body is straight but she has a few battle scars and rust bubbles but nothing more than you would expect...

Hi everyone, I'm new! I'm thinking of buying a w126 and would be grateful for any tips, what to look for, if it's a good choice for a daily driver etc? I have other cars so it won't be covering big miles. Thanks, Billy

I'm going to my friends workshop to use his ramp tomorrow. The rear silencer is not very good and looks about ready to fall off. I'm planning to chop this out and put in something that will bring out some more of the V8's grumble. I'm thinking I will keep the two u-bends and just lose...

Hi folks. My antenna no longer comes down, it simply stays up yet makes the regular noise it used to, as it was coming down. I am guessing its time for a new one. Any idea where the best but cheapest place to buy one is? I will fit myself (or at least try to :D ) Any help appreciated :)
