Car "computers" are always hot or "On" especially in something like a W140 where there are multiple ECU's. Michel I have found over the last 10 years since we all got eco friendly whether we wanted too or not that a lot of truths regarding lead acid type batteries no longer applied. And in 90%...

Id also like to add that I retailed Delkor in my workshop for a few years and never had a return or complaint, My reason for stocking this brand was that my clients tended to store their cars during winter and I needed to fond something reasonably priced that wouldn't die in storage. Cheers, Tony

I did not know that Brian, I've used Optima in the past but found they were fairly expensive. I could not fault them however and their marine batteries are fantastic and last a few seasons unlike other brands. I have Delkor batteries here that have been in cars for 10 years and never missed a...

I remember checking the Local dealer when I was looking for a battery for the SEL (As the year old RACV battery died and refused to recharge) and they had Bosch batteries in stock and at a close to auto shop prices.

It seems the Bosch gold series is now known as S5! http://www.bosch.com.au/content/language1/downloads/Bosch_Battery_Catalogue_Web_Ready.pdf

I've had a great 10 year run with Delkor Calcium plate batteries, they don't lose charge if a car is stored and can happily be recharged from dead flat with no side effects. Bosch Gold series batteries are also excellent quality.

And the wheel size being 6 1/2 inches wide by 15 inch diameter.

A few pics close up of the wheels for Mark, I have to replace a tyre on one soon and will provide more as that happens.

And the rear

Sample colour!

On the slow road to tidying up the Green SEL I have to replace the carpets which are a mid olive green in colour. Any clues where I can get such an item and preferably cheaper than usual?? Tony

Found it! Used to do exactly what you want to do and also removes pinstripes, left over detailing tape and bump strip adhesive etc

Biodegradable loom? WTF! Thanks Mo.. THAT comment effectively silenced the little voice that is still saying "Surely it cant be all THAT bad, The Jags were pretty good after you had them sorted so how hard can a biodegradable Mercedes be?" :D

Michel, Long story short? I squished em to make em fit and I still cant put em where I want to. Better?

Wow, Well I checked both of mine today and there is no sign on the D or k jet cars! Thank Dog!

Sounds like a little from column A and a little from Column B mate because 90 extra Neddies is a fair whack. Any Vid of the end result? I reckon it would sound great! Cheers, Tony

Whenever I work on a brake system I drag out the turkey baster and simply suck half the brake fluid from the reservoir. If im cranking a caliper back I crack the bleeded nipple and run a hose from it into a jar of brake fluid so it doesnt push the crud from a possibly faulty caliper back into...
