w116

As the title says, I'm looking for a set of Penta's or Rial deep dish wheels to fit my 1980 W116 450 SEL. Condition not critical as long as they are straight and true as I will probably have them refurbed anyway. With tyres considered as long as they are decent brand and legal. WHY?:)

I hope mine ends up looking as good as this one day!:) STUNNING LOW MILEAGE CLASSIC 1979 MERCEDES 450 SEL W116 on eBay (end time 09-Dec-10 21:49:19 GMT)

Hi, I'm breaking an old donor car, and I've a few other bits that I need to move for the sake of space. 4 X Metric Bundts. Tex brown interior and door cards in great shape. Plenty of chrome ex bumpers. I have US bumpers and lights from an imported 116. I've also a set of brown leather...

I need to change all four drive shaft boots on the 450 SEL due to the rubber being badly perished. I have enquired at MB and they have quoted me about £200 for all four inc. VAT. They come as a complete kit i.e. with the joints as well. However, I have seen boot kits for sale on ebay.de...

Well having owned the car for a couple of weeks and following on from this thread: http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/general-discussion/84741-my-latest-aquisition.html I thought I'd get this project thread started so I can share all my forthcoming joys and troubles with you guys!:D I'm...

As the title says, I'm looking for a good pair of self levelling rear shocks. WHY?:)

I seem to have a fuel starvation issue on the W116. The car will start no problem, in fact it fires up first time. The cold start system seems to work fine and after a while the revs drop down to normal idle speed, albeit a very lump idle. If I press the throttle the engine dies immediately...

Just putting a feeler out, wondered if anyone is currently breaking a W116 at the moment as I'm probably going to need some stuff very soon.:D

Hey there, I'm fairly new on the forum, and in fact fairly new to Mercedes ownership. In the last 14 months I have bought 3 classic Mercedes and only managed to have the heart to sell one. My other Mercedes Benz restoration thread is here...

Hi there, I've found a really nice W116, but the interior is cloth and I want leather; I also found a really cheap w126, with a cracking leather interior. I was thinking of buying both and transplanting the W126 interior into the W116. OK, just say this is possible, and brilliant if it is...
