Next months (August) Car Mechanics magazine has has an article about DIY servicing on the W140. Might be of interest - on sale July 15th apparently!
 
It'll be worth a look. When I open the bonnet though it just scares me to go tinkering around with what lurks in there.

My mechanics knowhow ran out with the Mark5 Cortina, I'll let my local friendly independant do his stuff.

I'm in the same boat mate - but for me, its just useful to know a few bits to ensure you're not getting ripped off!!

Plus of course, any excuse to look at pics of a nice W140.... :D
 
Yes, I agree. I've tried to get hold of back copies of Mercedes Enthusiast that feature the W140, guess what, no longer available :rolleyes:

My fundamental mechanical understanding is sound, it's just everything is controlled electronically, not only that, but if I break a stud off or such like it's so much more expensive to put right.

As you say, good excuse to look at pickies :) ( and it beats cutting the grass!!)
 
im sure i uploaded the w140 article onto my website...

If you want a paper copy, PM me your address and I'll photocopy it and stick it in the post!
