Hi,
This is a stonker of a first post, so please bear with me. Despite their fearsome reputation I rather like the looks of the W210 saloon, and I'm especially fond of the OM606 turbodiesel. So I'm thinking about trying to get a 300TD W210 in a few months, preferably under 150k with MB...
Either way, I guess its too late.
We have just added a E500 W211 to our driveway to sit alongside a R230 SL500.

Nobody working of course and not much traffic, so ho hum, cruise control on...
When driving at slow speeds over uneven ground i get a rattle/vibration from something that is hitting bodywork somewhere, whatever it is seems like probably is fairly heavy from the noise it makes. I can feel it through the back seat if i put my hand on it, it doesnt seem like its inside the...
I'm posting this for the benefit of Ian as I mentioned it when we were talking about performance diesels last night.

Just been surfing around the Birds site, looking for bits for the W202 and came across the advert for the S43 Spirit Kompressor conversion, it chucks out a mad 439bhp!
I'm running out of organs to sell :D
