early

I bought this today to break it (I wanted the engine). 300se24v I hadn't considered the fact that it may be too good to break, which it very well may be. 102k miles, 11mths mot, taxed, manual leather seats and no a/con. Lovely colour, drives well (if i sort the vibration-see other thread)...

Hi, I have just bought a 1987 300TE in need of fettling, and was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a couple of questions I had. The car was first registered on 2 June 1987, does this make it one of the first in the UK? The reason I ask is that this is no ordinary 300TE in terms of...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is able to spread some light on my 2000 CLK 320 that has been slowly ticking down from its last service. I'd reached 5,100 miles till next service until yesterday when I got in the car to be told I need service A in 30 days! Did I miss something?

Hello to all, This is my first post on the forum and let me just say, its good to be a part of the MB owners community! I recently acquired a w203 c180 estate from 2002 and was "googling" about the w203 (typical...) when I read a post on this forum about early W203 having reliability...

I would recommend anyone with an early W202 (94, 95) to snap this up asap even if your heating is working fine. When I had my old W202 the heater control broke and it was stuck on hot. Rare to appear on eBay and new from MB is £150+ IIRC. HERE

Back from an 18 day holiday and the battery was as flat as the proverbial. Very helpful man from Assist came & got us going. Unable to find cause (battery excellent, residual drain current very low) which is a shame as I put in a new battery as "the fix" for this not long ago. My problem is that...

Will 1996 SL500 digital speedometer as replacement for early r129 Thank you

Is any one knowledgeable in employment law? My recruitment agent has not paid me yet for my November invoice. I was due payment on 30 December. I've called a few times to discuss, but get the feeling they are stalling for time. (cash flow issues maybe) I've given tomorrow 12:00 as the deadline...

I'm going away for a week tomorrow morning and won't have computer/internet access until I get back so I just wanted to wish everyone on this great forum a very Happy Christmas and hope you all have a fantastic time whatever you are going to be doing! :) Also want to say a big thank you to...

Mercedes W124 Early style Bootlid in Silver without significant rust and only the odd tiny chip on the edges. £25 able to deliver within 50 miles of SO32 2QZ. More photos available upon PM

Hi, I was looking at getting an early A Class for around town driving. Any advise on best engine and problems to look out for would we well received. Thank you:)

Is it just me or does anyone else think the door mirrors on early W126's are really useless with more blind spots than anything else? Not sure if later models suffer the same.............mine has manual mirrors. Passenger side is worst............I cant really get it set so I can see anything at...

Just going to do first oil change on my 1981 280se......wondering what type of oil to use. The handbook recommends a few grades. Is castrol GTX 10w/40 a good bet? Cheers

does anybody know when the torque kicks in, rpm wise ??

I have a '94 model C220 W202, & from what iv seen for myself & read on here mine hasn't got any of the rust problems of the post '96 C's. I'm now considering buying a W124 (possibly E200 or 220) & i'd appreciate your views on whether to look out for - pre 93, post 93, or post 96. So bearing in...

Commuting home from work the other evening litrally 100 metre out of my works gates, in mid flow of traffic an elderly driver pulls out of a junction & manages to pick me out denting my OSF wing smashing my indicator & scuffing my bumper. I've never had a collision before & wasn't to sure on...

Hi to you all, I am a new convert to MB but I have a problem! I drive an S320 CDI 2001. The problem is, after driving for a while at motorway speeds ( 5-15 mins) the car starts changing up at 2k through all gears no matter where the pedal is pressed (no kick down), until top gear when it will...

Just noticed that the Google image has changed in anticipation of St Patrick's Day (tomorrow), and it's not even midnight yet!! You'd think it would be automated or such like so it appears at the strike of midnight?

Contrasting info so far it seems. A friend has a 2001 prefacelift s600, it has factory Xenons. We are trying to establish whether there is the "lever" to switch then for European use. Dealer, EPC and various forums all conflicting!!! Anyone know? Cheers people
