The car runs much better after the new fuel, but it seems like it is not getting all the fuel it wants. For example, when I start it up the car, if you give it throttle it stutters and wants to die like its not getting fuel to match the additional air from the throttle. My next step is to...

Just had another look, since many of these options were cheaper or included on the higher models, having a 500SEL with the same options actually wouldn't have been much more expensive. A 500SEL so equipped would have been 55,263.47. About 3,000 pounds more. a 560SEL so equipped would...

You got me curious so I looked up the UK price list. Price including tax for the 420SEL was 38,030.00. with all the options selected, this rose to 52,237.59 As a reference, a base 500SEL was 45850.00 and a 560SEL was 56400.00 So yes, almost 560 money and well above a base 500. Had they...

I've been meaning to go to this event for a while. I finally did this morning. A pretty good event and the new location (Belrose) is very convenient for me. more photos from the link: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/12/machines-and-macchiatos-december-2021/

Especially as it was listed to have rust in the D-Pillars.

Changed the plugs and they looked pretty good. In tkaing off the air box there was an almost new Mann filter in there, another good sign. Figured I should go back to basics - I found a flyer for a 2018 event under the seat, I don't think the car has seen much use of late and there was little...

The other factor is that we have a federal election coming up, probably around March->May. I can’t see even the most incompetent PM & transport minister flushing an election down the toilet.

Now the not so good. 1) Needs a tune up 2) Steering coupler is worn and needs to be replaced 3) rear muffler has been replaced with a stainless unit, but the pipes where that connects to the centre have a few holes and there are another couple of holes in front of the centre muffler 4) SLS rod...

This is a thread about my new 280SE. My first step is to change the plugs as its running poorly. As I said in the other thread, I don't plan to keep it long term, but to try and tidy it up over a couple of months and fix a few minor issues it has. However, I am impressed by some of...

I suspect if the system can be shut off, there will be no political will to have empty supermarket shelves, and there will be waivers given. Like how they let foreign airlines fly domestic for a few months after the collapse of Ansett.

I was reading a doom and gloom article that our entire trucking industry is going to grind to a halt in 8 weeks due to an Ad-blue shortage. This is apparently a fluid used in the emissions system based on diesel grade urea and de-ionized water. Any late model truck is apparently going to...

It would seem the 2.6 is the one to have, but don't think they brought any in manual out here.

Love the colour. Just needs those horrible aftermarket chrome arch molds removed. I would imagine the 5 speed transforms the car. I drove an automatic 180E and didn't care for it.

Some interesting shannons results. Lot 165: 1993 300TE Wagon, $33,500. https://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/2021-shannons-40th-anniversary-timed-online-auction/Y1C5D0T3QC20ND1N/ There must have been cocaine in the glove box to get this price for a car that was listed as having rust in...

One for Michel - just needs paint but looks presentable. 560SEL. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/194551382940 Don't think its a 560 - perhaps an import 500? Looks like the interior has been changed too.

The final point was a sausage sizzle in a park so that was pretty efficient. Michel was there also, but sadly his R107 failed to proceed so he was in the modern SL.

The MBCNSW attempted to drive 107 107's across the harbour bridge today as part of the 50 year celebration. While we probably had half that number, it was a pretty good turn out: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/11/107-107s-across-the-harbour-bridge/
