500se

As a matter of interest how many hours does it take a competent specialist to replace worn valve guide oil seals on a 1991 500SE? How much would the parts cost? Thanks in advance. Piers

I'm thinking of buying a mint late 80's 500SE (W126). Not many around so difficult to get an idea of prices. What should I pay for a mint good service history example. Apart Pistonheads and Autorader who are the specialists delaing in these. Thanks in advance. Piers

Graeme Hunt - 1991 Mercedes Benz 500SE 28.000 Miles I have seen the car .. was actually drooling over the Ferarri Dino .. It is in superb condition -- the paintwork is pretty much immaculate, and the interior is also pretty much "as new". No idea about about the oily bits etc as I did...

Hi I'm waiting for it to stop raining so that I can get stuck into solving a problem which started earlier this week. Now this is a great car with only 70K miles on the clock. The engine runs really smoothly and well. It used to be the case that I turn the key and the engine started...

I remember seeing this when the Cannonball was on TV a couple of weeks ago. Apparently it's on again tonight. Looks better without the stickers. :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220058276722&fromMakeTrack=true

Hi all, I bought a 1990 500SE about 6 weeks ago to replace my nice 260E (still for sale by the way!) The car has 128,000 miles on the clock and seems to have been looked after (main dealer stamps) until about 2 years ago. I viewed the car with a specialist from Watford who helped me to...
