    350SEL on Shannons - Euro(?)

    I have made the mistake of signing up to the shannons email auction alerts thing, which means yet more distractions at work. Among the lots for early May is: 350SEL My rusty 350SE is a similar vintage, and MBSpares had told me that Australian w116 350s stopped in the mid 70s, which makes mine...

    Sump Seals

    Okeydokey, Finally got my EPC, and still learning how to drive it. What I have found is: Point to note is the absence (in the schematic anyway) of any kind of gasket between the sump and the engine block. Given that the 6.9 seems to be leaking oil from some of the bolts holding the sump on...

    A 2door for Michel

    That is fantastic - you should be proud of that. 5 stars. Was it your car? I like how they named their cars after things they were as big as.

    Leakbusters

    Hi all, As "promised": long weekend = more time spent under the car = some idea of what is leaking. I spent a few weekends ago doing a basic clean under there, and this last weekend has shown up some fluid leaks. I've tightened what I can, given it a more thorough degrease and we shall see what...

    Rear foot-rests

    Here's a partial view from the Blue 6.9: They are essentially a blue foam triangle - not attached to the floor. You could make one fairly easily by going to a foam / rubber store, and then a trimmers.

    2nd Hand Parts - What to Look For

    Cleaned the bits up today - look OK, although there was a large amount of road grime on the rear struts. The hydro fluid tank had a little of the gunk in the bottom, but a quick blast with the hose fixed that. Also has scrape marks where someone has had a go previously - only saw them when...

    Strut Boots

    See what happens when I buy bits - questions galore. Anyway, after cleaning the copious amounts of grease and road goo off the struts, some of the boots are missing or worn/torn. Seems to be 2 sorts of strut boots: 1) Largeish concertina one that covers the shiny part of the strut as it...

    Steering Box Question

    Cleaned up the steering box I acquired the other day,and noticed that it has 2 perished washers in the part that the input shaft attaches too - seem to be made from plastic, a hard rubber or some kine of gasket-like material. Do these need to be replaced if worn? If so, how? It looks like the...

    280se 3.5

    Thanks to Des I've become aware that you can search the Pickles website, which revealed: 280SE 3.5 Has been rear-ended by the looks, but is in otherwise fairly good nick. I believe these are fairly special cars, yes?
