And this is why I've always wanted go/compete: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKIP-QRFbmU&feature=relmfu :cool::cool:

OK guys time to get serious.... I found a series of vids that make VERY entertaining viewing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=467w-NoY-8U&feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtOwiWZptF8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6TncEIdA3s&feature=relmfu...

Yesterday I passed a Peugeot and noticed it had some collision damage that included the jagged hole in a front guard.... And the edges indicated one thing: plastic!!! WTF??? :eek:

In the interests of being able to find info easily via the search facility, I thought I'd generate a thread specifically for this topic. I've posted this info before, but it's been buried in other threads under different topic headings: I use non-acidic wheel cleaner while they're dry & that...

Yes there's a main and fuel pump relay that work in tandem. I did get a diagram from the net but it appears it's the wrong one. When I bridged 2 terminals to see if the pump was working the engine started cranking!!! One of the terminals bridged was supposed to have constant power and yet it...

I believe the W116 fuel pumps should not run unless the engine is turning over. And that this was a safety measure should the vehicle become involved in a collision. However this feature does make it difficult to determine if the pump is working in the event of a fail to fire, as you can't...

Can someone tell me where the hell it is??? Why are MB manuals great for schematics and wiring diagrams, but poor when it comes to component location?

Well it's certainly been a mixed bag over the last 6 months... LPG went through the roof, but it's now more than reasonable (comparitively). So at the Sunbury BP yesterday: 91: $1.309 95: $1.399 98: $1.439 LPG: $0.527 BTW I noticed the Bulla BP selling LPG for $0.499 and with the $0.020...

Since Vegas it's become apparent to me that there's many ways our beloved can be navigated. The different methods all have pros n cons and so I thought I'd put them out there to discuss: 1. Push/pull, 2. Hand over hand, 3. 9 and 3, 4. Palm/s, 5. Left handed (the other on the top of...

On a country road in a Buick GSX 455: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=z1yhjLsRLt8 I just love it!!! :cool::cool::cool:

A rather glowing road test of an Aussie 6.9 in the UK... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1178031&mid=0&i=0&nmt=RE%3A+PH+Heroes%3A+Mercedes+450SEL+6%2E9&mid=0 It does raise some interesting questions: As the SLS ages does the body roll become more pronounced? Or does...

Not having to drive her every day would be a great opportunity for more substantial repairs. So Styria, what's the plan???

It looks just beautiful...... from a distance! :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150862678977&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:AU:1123

Once again here's another hapless motorist that thinks (or wants to portray) that they have a 6.9 for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280924717866&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

I'm not sure if everyone's familiar with this car, but here's a link to parts of the restoration. I thing the most outstanding parts are the dashboard and interior trims, which have been retrimmed in leather (which is what I want to do to mine). It looks like many parts were replaced and not...

Looks nice and I bet it would go (and sound) far better! From Karl: http://www.mbgrand600.com/Page203.html

Looks pretty good even if parts are brown.... http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150916918600143&set=a.335493695142.159311.10344285142&type=1&theater

OMG these are so red Michel will love em!! The paint's soooo brilliant I'd almost convert from my favorite navy blue; but then again, someone's gone and done it already! Now the only decision for Michel is hardtop or wagon.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIU_Gd-0P1w

Are they all the same, or were there early and late versions? Did the 6.9 ones have a larger capacity??

I've had him for a while; I just thought he deserved his own thread! Here's what he looked like after a little cleaning: He's covered in dust now because he's not my main focus... but not forgotten!! I wish now I used a car cover before I put him to bed! Thanks for the tip Motec, I'll...
