The unit currently in mine is a Blaupunkt Koln Radio/cassette player ; the audio is pleasant enough but nothing to write home about .
I had one on my W126 as well .
Graeme , you were quite right , the tyres must have sat ( at least in the dark and stacked on their sides ) for at leat 10 years ; they were OK when first fitted to the car , but after a bit of running there were vibrations and low speed wobbles , I knew they were on their way out .My concern for a set of wheels and tyres that have sat for a while,would be that while on the surface the tyres would appear OK treadwise they may have passed their sell by date in age - i.e. greater than 5-ish years old ?? On a big heavy fast car such as a W140 this might present as a bigger problem than on a lighter and slower vehicle .
Oh , must have abandoned this thread some time back - brake system was completely rebuilt , making up new kunifer pipes throughout , new flexible hoses , replaced back callipers , new ATE discs all round , new ATE pads , shoes , retaining clips and sensors all round , vacuum bled - all good , brakes like new again and all proper components - although I had to order from a number of different suppliers to get the all ATE correct parts I wanted . Won't compromise on brakes or tyres though .
