Does anyone know how long a Mercedes take to build on the production line from start to finish. I know models will vary.
The videos on YouTube make it look so quick.
Mine is supposed to go online today.
I've done a search but all I get is a blank white page on my phone.
i`ve been reading up on the W163 ML (i`m looking for a ML270 budget dictates probably a 2000-2001)and i keep coming across posts saying the Austrian build ones are better screwed together than the US built versions BUT have seen some posts saying the facelift 2002 on models are Austrian built...
Well this evening I decided to buy my project car courtesy of John (trapperJohn).
I collect it in a couple of weeks when it gets tailored 400 miles back to Cornwall.
Current plans are as follows:
Replace windscreen
Full suspension overhaul
Work out a way to get it low and stanced (not too...
I have noticed a build up of oil or carbon from two parts of the engine.
1. On the pipe that comes from the oil separator
2. On the Pipe to the right of the engine that attaches to the EGR (I Think)
I have cleaned today all the oil and carbon from the pipes and will run to see if this is an...

Thought i would start posting it up as i have missed this place (and my 190)
The day i got it
Then i lowered it
Bought some 18's
Removed the mudflaps
Fitted metal...
Hi all, interested in your opinions here. I am looking at buying another E55 W211.
I've seen a few that are of interest to me, (04's and 54's), but they all seem to be 804 builds? with the 160mph speedometer. I'd obviously like the latest one I can get for my money but am I being overpicky in...
In the weeks coming our attention will be fixed on the creation of a fully rebuilt M113K engine. The Eurocharged HQ in Houston have been working on several of these recently with power options ranging from 700-800bhp :eek:.
The are several options available including twin turbo or larger...
Hello Guys,
Thanks for watching my thread Project C63 part I.
Here is my next thread about the build of a one of a kind C63 sedan.
Inspired by some tuners over the world, I want to build my own C63.
The C63 by itself is already a great car, but I want it more brutal and aggressive...
I don't really know if I should post here, or the interior section?
I have the passenger air bag light 'off' on all the time on my 2006 S320CDI, and I had been told by the previous owner that it had been diagnosed as the passenger seat occupancy mat.
I was ordering some parts for the car...
As my boys have got older, I seem to have more and more car parts/alloy wheels lying around the house/shed/ garage, and the driveway constantly seems to have cars in the air on axel stands etc, i have been thinking about building a new garage/workshop. We all like cars, eldest is an engineer...
In the unlikely event that someone wants to do a serious audio install in their S211, I've still got the boot build from my car.
It fits in the RH rear corner of the boot and comprises a 10" sealed sub box, and a boot panel to cover it. This was made from a genuine Mercedes trim panel, so the...
I thought it would be nice to share the build pics of my blue estate, and a nice introduction into my E7 venture.
It started life as a 300-24TE which ended up in a pretty sorry state just begging to be revived...It had a bigger purpose in life...
Strewth - that's just the thing for the kids' Go-Kart...
