1984 MERCEDES 500 SEC COUPE | eBay Just returned from a 450 mile round trip to see this. I think the comment about not being disappointed isn't correct. If anyone would like a summary, please pm me. Cheers, Paul

So the other day I decided to check if the first gear start works. I put the gear selector on position 2 and flicked it to the right (B), this made the car more lively! My question is how does one use this: 1. Do you keep the gear selector in the 2->B position and the car will shift up? 2...

Not sure if this is the right section.. Yesterday evening after a 5-8mile drive, I realised the carpet on the base of rear seats (not the floor) was warm, which I thought was a bit strange. After I got home I removed the rear seat base and the metal part of the body was pretty warm/hot...

Should the big fan in front of the engine bay always be on? I've only tested this when the car is on idle..not sure whether this should come on only when needed or like mine, which is on all the time.

Has anyone had experience with buying pads and discs for a 500 SEC from eurocarparts? I purchased a set of brembo front and rear discs and pads as there was 30% off, today I went to fit the front ones and the discs are wrong and the pads too! Very annoying as we had everything apart and...

Hello, Anyone got any tips on how to test if this unit is faulty or not? I've taken it apart, does anyone know what's in picture 1 between the black and silver components? Also the solder joints in pic 2 look a dry, so I'll re-solder them to start of with.

Hi Guys, I recently picked up a 500sec and i have an issue (well more then one but one for now) when i set the timing up to what i think is right (10 btdc with the vac connected ) now to eliminate the possibility of me being a retard looking down at the timing marks i have set it to the 10...

Dammit, this car is beginning to annoy me now. So I have what appears to be a early 126 500sec, I have no idea what the distinction between a early and a late one is, but all the parts diagrams Mercedes send me according to the car's frame number are wrong. The reason I assume mine is early is...

So, I finally got around to finishing off the maintenance stuff on my 500sec, and I drained out the diff fluid, however I am not sure what I am supposed to fill it with. There is a tag attached to it saying something along the lines of ''warning use special limited-slip diff oil'' or something...
