Is anyone interested in a 450 D-Jet engine? I'll sell it to anyone here before I head to E-bay... It's still in the car and running. It runs a little rough (no noises or smoke), but it needs a tune and the fuel's probably below par. Tony?? :)

Oh so nice... :D http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mercedes-benz-280-SE-W116-1975-4D-Sedan-4-SP-Automatic-2-7L-F-INJ-/330690723753?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item4cfeb3ffa9

Here's a new one. It has the usual problems, but it's a Euro version and a desirable colour combination. It looks like a good project: :) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/170788310634?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

The "Best on Road" is a big call.... :rolleyes: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/270915998676?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

So has it really come to this? The market's obviously hit rock bottom and I hope it heads the other way soon.... :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250999836783?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

They say they can supply one for a 6.9 at around $400 more. Is that way too dear? Another concern is will it suit a RHD configuration (being that it's sold in the US)?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140491009689?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

If these are the real deal, they're very cheap. If you have to supply a core, that might be different... Ah looks like I didn't read that properly; yes a core is required. Not so cheap after all. I have the seal kit, so I'll look at rebuilding it myself...

These seem cheap, but I'm not sure about postage yet... http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=sxj0wq45kxj0xajwxcelws55&makeid=800016@Mercedes&modelid=1367603@450SEL&year=1979&cid=16@Cooling System&gid=10638@Radiator Fan

And: Note the heat shield around the master cylinder: Excuse me I'm trying to get a good angle (of the car): Would you really want your oil filter down there?? An idea for A/C compressors, or 6.3 suspension compressors: And the best for last. What's the go..... Anna? :D

But wait, there's.... I'll bet the driver really shouldn't be (driving it): Looks stock from the outside: Would the air filter really do anything?? A neat way to separate colours (use pinstriping):

More: LPG turbo (told you they go well together)!

Continued again: Why I wouldn't own one: Neat boot, but could it go bang??

Continued: Interesting colour scheme: And you thought late wheels wouldn't fit?

Here's some pics from the annual Hanging Rock Car Show. The weather turned out better than expected and I even got burnt!! :) A Phase 5? The colour is stunning: An old truck engine (check out the segmented drive belt): What's better than a supercharger? Two of course...

Here's the method I've developed to change coolant. It can be adapted to almost any car: 1. Jack up the car (don't forget to drive it on some small timber ramps first, so the trolley jack will fit), 2. Put safely on axle stands, 3. Have a big floor squeegee on hand, 4. Put a large container...

I noticed that the new tank plugs do not contain a magnet like the original. They were probably fitted to catch small metal particles during the early years of the engine's life, but it'd still be nice to have the added security...

Ask and ye shall receive! Styria the answer is no; the angles on both rotors appear the same. From the top the original one appears offset, but I'd say that's just to allow for the limiter mechanism. BTW the spring loaded sliding limiter still works. I doubt the bi-pass would be effective as...

I know the auction's finished, but the point is the two manuals sold for nearly $300 (incl. postage)!!! :eek: Did anyone here buy them?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/310375227481?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649...

Does anyone know if RHD dashpads are available for the W116 with the integral speaker grilles?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190576431054?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
