Just a thought, ive seen complete low mileage donor cars ML's and W220's for pennies and bare engines for even less.
So swapping out a 2.4/2.6/2.8 M112 in a W202 for a 3.7 M112 - How hard can it be :)
Any thoughts ?

When I recently changed the air filter on my E240 I noticed that the air intake tubing isn't stuck together properly. To explain, on mine the air intake is like this:
Air filter box > MAF > Flexible rubber tube > Rigid plastic intake tube to engine
The problem is that the rubber tube is...

So could anyone please advise on the reliability, issues and time bombs in the...

I've had a lazy thermostat for a while now I thought it was about time I changed it. I've recently done a coolant change so (a) I didn't want to waste any and (b) I just wanted to see if it was possible.
