    Flat Battery

    Neither do one of these. And they thought plug in electric cars were new! No magnetos and no parasitic loss. Early 1900’s Detroit Electric. Note the tiller type steering.

    W220 Glove Box

    Hi Michel, Yes it worked perfectly. I don’t know why people would disturb these wedges, maybe they think they need to be removed to access the cabin filter, but the glove box is just held in with 4 screws. The wedges are purely for adjustment. Pic as requested. Before After

    W220 Glove Box

    Gents, A little while ago Styria commented on a “Car Of The Week” thread about the misalignment and poor quality of the glove box on a later model car a W220 or C215 or later if memory serves me correctly. My W220 was suffering the same issue, of a sagged left hand side of the glove box lid...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    I think you are spot on Bryce. Besides a few scuff marks that cleaned off well, the back like you say is pristine. Door handle areas are a good place to look for grime and wear. Worn or loose door handles inside and out can be a good give away if someone is trying to mis represent the cars...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    After a week of detailing. The back half of the car has been done, inside & out. None of the 3 lighters or ashtrays have ever been used.

    Could this be the cheapest 500SL on the planet. (I’d love to show the seller that they CAN turn the phone on its side for a landscape shot) http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1213722154?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms

    Michel, The 180B is still available :D But, If you want something a little different, here are some I have found of interest. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1212792689?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    That’s great info Bryce, The new ones sure are a little harder to work out considering there are no more “L” displayed anywhere on the car. I did find this one on car sales while looking for pics of LWB 430’s...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    You guys are awesome. Saves me having to do that :D I do apologise for adding the car to the Dora thread, by the time we got talking about the data cards, I stupidy just added the car in after Michel mentioned I had bought the car. There were no log books with the car, a heap of service...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Re: Dora 2 I did Michel :D I couldn’t pass it up when I saw it. Mechanically sweet, and very well looked after, just sitting neglected for the last few months in the street, while his new ride enjoys the garage. It has some external cosmetic issues, nothing dramatic, just some light...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Gents, Here is the data card for a car I purchased on the weekend. All looks pretty standard, but can someone let me know what the "FW Limousine" means? Also the "VL front axle half left" "VR front axle half right" are also a mystery.

    I was at $4k Bryce :D I’m just chatting with the guy now. May have some warning lights on. Here is a real blast from the past. Not a Mercedes Benz, but how good is it. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1211594774?utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_content=app_ios&utm_medium=social&utm_source=sms
