Hi, I'm after a bit of advice regarding the rear screen. As it stands it does leak slightly, but doesn't seem so bad and looks as if it hasn't caused any damage. The seal looks in good condition from what I can see. I've spoken to a reputable independent window guy. He advises to keep the...

I have just bought an '89 500SEC. It has done very few miles over last 5 or 6 years and may have old fuel. If you floor it it accelerates perfectly well. But if you lightly accelerate it misses/wavers around etc. I'm hoping a tank of fresh fuel and a bottle of injector cleaner will sort...
