500sec

So, I love my 500sec so far, everything apart from the transmission. It starts off in 2nd by default. It would have been great if it was a super-smooth limo or big luxury sedan (which is what Benz engineers was thinking when they designed that transmission no doubt) but in a small nimble...

My brake bleed screws are all pretty rusty, so when I get to doing a brake overhaul I am going to replace them all. I always assumed they are M8 x 1.25mm, however somebody told me to be careful because they are M8 x 1.0mm, which incidentally are very uncommon. I can't really look at my old ones...

There doesn't to be much info about these cars. I tried looking everywhere for a workshop manual, but it seems even Haynes don't make one for the 126 or s-class, which is kinda annoying. So far the only manual I found was on ebay and sold on CD, and that only covers a few basic maintenance tasks...

Hello people. So my new 1985 500SEC came with two single-button transponders with 'Sigma' written on them. I changed the batteries in them and they now seem to work. Pressing the button makes the car beep, lock the doors and activate the alarm. Pressing it again makes the car beep, unlocks the...

Hello everybody. My first post here (no doubt many to come). I am completely new to classic Benzes, having just bought a 500sec. I am originally from the US and am used to GM and Ford v8s from the big-block era. However it looks like I have now successfully been converted to Mercedes, since my...

Just saw this ad on channel 4 and wondered whether the director picked this car for a reason as it's a fairly unusual conversion. Looks good as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIIITM1wbR4

Somewhat reluctantly for sale is my 1989 500sec AMG widebody. I purchased the car in early February last year and have since spent a small fortune (£5,490), in addition to the work listed I have also swapped out both of the burr walnut panels that had milked with age & replaced these with...

Not eBay but interesting all the same Mercedes 500sec AMG I probably need to be shot but I quite like it.

Prince Rainier of Monaco's AMG 500SEC, just 8400 kms! AUCTION I know it's not a widebody, but how freakin nice is that. 29 years in the Riviera climate won't have done it much harm :thumb:

Took the cover off my SEC today to find a pool of water in the left rear foot well and some dampness in the left front. Where could it have come from? Suggestion please!

Hi Guys, Just managed to get my hands on my all time favourite car....W126 SEC!! Followed loads of threads on this forum about the car...some really great projects. Mine is a shadow by comparison. I am having some troubles though and wondered if people with experience could help: (1) I'm...

This Autotrader car here looks rather tasty but the first ownership being Henry Cecil rings a bell with something I've seen before (perhaps this one pre-refurb?).
