Hi everyone,
In March of this year, my mechanic replaced the radiator, thermostat, water pump and a number of coolant pipes as preventative maintenance on the 600.
Since that time, she's been slowly loosing coolant.
At first, the coolant level light would only come on during/after hard...
A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a tired but well maintained W140 S320. I hadn't driven an S-class before, but can safely say it is by far the most comfortable and relaxing car I have been in. Simply incredible.
I promptly set off to Europe for a road trip, but 700 miles in the gearbox...
Here is the eBay link if anyone is interested this is one of the best around in my opinion....price negotiable of course...

Hi all,
I am now entering day 8 since collecting my S600 - best car I've ever had!
She came to me with the horrible '8 hole' wheels and to make things even better no locking wheel nut key either.
Wheel nuts drilled off Friday and new wheels fitted today. The rears are 9.5j and the...

Hello and thank you to anyone who reads this and may be able to point me in the right direction.
I have a late 1994 S500 ( UK car ) with the 1 button keyfob ( only one working ) which as it gets older, worries me more about future electrical headaches. I realise I should when I recommission the...
Hi all,
I purchased the S600 last week on eBay and collected the beast last night - this is the second Mercedes I've had. 11 years ago I had a 300CE Coupe (W124) and being only 19 at the time promptly wrote her off!
Up until last night every car I've had since (Audi S5, BMW M3 even a...
Hi all,
I am the new very proud owner of a lovely 1994 S600 Coupe, unfortunately at the moment she is rocking the very old looking 8 hole alloys on a 16" tyre - not my cup of tea!
Last night I purchased a set of 18" wheels from a 2010 W221 S600 the wheel specs are -
Front alloy wheels...

low mileage example, the service at 48k was just a few coppers under £5k :crazy: I wonder what had been neglected, looks good in black with those alloys.
Hi, i am after some amg monoblocks for my w140, advertised on ebay.
The seller says the size is 245 45 18 of these wheels.
Does anyone know if this is the correct size? Also if there not, what is?

Hi all,
Been driving my W140 for a few months now with no issues. All of a sudden when coming to a slow stop, the idle cuts, get a flash of the ignition light, then it catches and recovers. The idle seems slightly unstable.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Here is my S280.... I bought the car just over a week ago, after deliberating for a couple of weeks. But after checking the AC over 2 visits, spaced 10 days apart, thoroughly checking that everything electrical worked, checking the motor for overheating and Head gasket issues and all the other...
I read many conflicting opinions on when the biodegradable wiring loom was replaced on the W140.
Some say anything after 1995, others say anything after mid 1996 and others say anything after 1997.
Some say that if the later climate control is fitted, then its a car with an updated loom, and...
