Yes, they have done four systems for me and always looked after me and done a great job. A bit out of my way, but worth it for the result.

The 280SE moves from being a garage queen to a rolling restoration now. Exhaust is fixed and it drives reasonably well once warmed up. Next couple of things include fixing the drivers seat and replacing the thermostat so it can warm up faster. More here...

sad to see it like that. I hope the other two W116's that WGB had found good homes, they were lovely and I would hate to see all work he put into them be all for nothing.

Did the drag link, idler arm and all four tie rod ends. Idler arm looked a bit old and sorry, glad i did it, it was pretty bad when it came out. Only one tie rod really needed doing, but its not that big a deal to do both sides while I am there, and since I have to pay for an alignment, rather...

A while since I updated this. The SLC did the big 4,000km road trip to Adelaide earlier this year - I posted on that at the time. With the endless rain, i've really not used the car much since then. The other night I did fit a new accessory. I had ordered this before the national rally, but...

I managed to pick up a 1987 copy of Glass's guide, which covers the 1976-1987 (mid year). One of the things that was interesting is the resale value of Mercedes-Benz models at the time. Generally they held up much better than the current ones do, except for the 6.9. Suppose you wanted to...
