Hi all

New member, previously owned a few Jag XJ8's both NA and Supercharged, but I've won an eBay auction at the weekend for a 2000 w215 CL500

I'm collecting the car in Wolverhampton on Saturday 3rd around 930/945am, provided it's all as described.

Preferably I'd like to see it successfully perform a rodeo test to ensure the ABC appears to be healthy enough. Are there any members on here near to Wolverhampton who have the system to do this? I'd obviously happily pay for your time for doing so

Cheers

Dave
 
Totally agree with the above, but if any doubt book it into MSL for a check, they'll soon find any issues.
They are based in Small Heath, Birmingham, so relatively local to your pick-up.

Good luck, they are fantastic cars.

Thanks, that's a little more reassuring. I'll test that it goes up and down correctly. It does appear to be quote a lovely car, and somewhat of a bargain, provided it's reliable enough.

On an slightly unrelated note, is there a process to follow before/after you jack one up?

A relative previously jacked up an SL500 to carry out gearbox repairs. Following this the suspension was rock hard when he drove it a few miles back to the guys house, and the power steering/ABC pump started leaking and needed replaced.

This CL500 I'm collecting appears to be on Skoda Superb wheels or something, so I intend to get the correct wheels and change them over to what should be on.

Thanks again

Thanks for the help so far guys.

Got the build sheet, trying to figure out if it would have Massager/Pulse seats

It has the 'Multi Contour' option

That'll be the missus happy if it does.

Looking into a fridge retrofit, keeping an eye to see if a local car goes up for breaking with the same interior, but with the fridge. I'm happy doing all wiring and fabrication

Thanks again

I'll get a post up when I collect the car

The massage function is fun...on the first day, then you'll never use it again.

I don't doubt that at all, it's just the novelty of it more than anything

Where is this potential breaking car...always useful to know a parts car is coming?
 
The one closest to me is Cookstown as I'm in Northern Ireland. Seen a few breaking on eBay, Facebook Marketplace & Gumtree

You'll need a different fuel tank to suit if you fit a fridge.

Just a quick question about the ABC light

I've noticed it's illuminated red in his pictures

Should this ever be red on any normal situation? Like just after turning the ignition on, or when the ignition is on and engine isn't running etc?

The ad says it works perfectly, however he hasn't mentioned this light at all

The red light indicates the ABC is in Sport mode. It will default to the last position it was in. So, if you pressed it last time you were driving, then it will still be in sport (light on) next time you drive it.
