Well there's no much happening with him ATM, particulary since he's not running on all 8 cylinders. I suspect a valve, cam, or divider issue. Compression tests are yet to be conducted. Apparently he had water in the fuel at some stage.... Some repairs were conducted, yet the misfire remains...

When I removed Red Bull's steering wheel I noticed that the mark on the column was in the 3 o'clock position. Isn't it meant to be at 12 o'clock? I'd suggest someone (who didn't know what they were doing) has pulled the box and incorrectly re-installed. And although I haven't checked it yet...

I just bought a new steering wheel for Red Bull to replace the W126 unit with the loose grip at the top and bottom. For $100 it's in very good condition but it was in dire need of some TLC. After a wash with some mild detergent, I'm letting it dry out. Once dried I'd like to coat it with...

I'll be helping a family friend to look for a new car soon and I was wondering what you all would recommend? She's 24YO and does quite a bit of city driving. The budget's around $25-$30K.... It's gotta look trendy with all the mods cons for a young girl, plus be safe and reliable with a good...

I got this pic from Facebook. Very, very nice 6.9 steering wheel and instruments!!! With some tasteful alterations:

It's only a 280 and it's full of rust, yet people still want it! :eek: Looks like it'll sell for more than what 450s were going for not that long ago.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221018631340?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Considering the high prices for W116s and W107s...

I bought this off Ebay and found it facinating.... :D

Does anyone know if there's a size difference??? I suspect the 6.3 one is bigger, even though the engine isn't..... :confused::rolleyes:

What haven't manufacturers adopted DAB+ radio in cars??? Although the sound is compressed, I doubt it'd be worse than MP3 and you have the benefit of helpful info transmitted in the signal.

Looks real nice and affordable too!! It may even come with 4WD.... :cool: http://www.autonews.com/article/20120419/OEM04/120419875

I don't like the round headlights, but the rest is WOW!!! What great lines..... :cool:

Has anyone tried this?? Thoughts? http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/rust.htm I have some concerns re hyrdogen embrittlement on structural items....

Ok Motec do your stuff!!!! :D

Thanks Motec for that very quick response!!! Not much difference with kW, but the 320 has a lot more torque... I wonder if the 320 was heavier and that could explain the apparent slowness?(!) :)

Which one would go harder, or are they about the same??? :rolleyes:
