a problem was after car was shipped from California to New York last
December.  Shipper reported that trunk lid popped open while it was on the
truck.  When I got it, noe of the pneumatic items worked any ...

I currently own a 82 240D and I'm looking into purchasing something
newer. I'm pretty much hooked on getting something diesel. I love the
heavy chasis of my 240D and the good fuel mileage i get however being
18 the cost of insurance is ridiculous. My 82 240D and from what i can

For all those that live in the NJ area, Ditmire Motorworks in Absecon,
NJ does great work at a great price. I went there today for a 105K
service and a rear seal replacement on my C 230 and saved about 50% off
the dealer quote. Not to mention the fact that they found a few items

I'm tying with the idea of getting an MB convertible, used..oops,
pre-owned...
Any advice on models, reliability, etc...
I already have a 98 ML320 and a 97 E320...so I am somewhat aware of what I

I recently replaced tha brake pads including the disks. After about 500
miles I am getting an occasional annoying sqeal when applying the brakes
moderately. The sqeal appears to be coming from the rear brakes only.
I used JURID brake pads which are made by Bendix.

The engine control device (in german: Motorsteuergerät) from BOSCH seems
to be broken. I have a 1991 Mercedes 124 200TE. Does anyone know where
to get a new one and how much it would cost?
Thanks in advance,

The gasket between the block  and the oil filter body has started to leak so
I need to replace it.  It looks like a tough job because there's not much
space.  If anyone  has done this can you give me some tips on any special
tools and how long it takes?  Does the engine have to be ...

My 1993 500 SEL needs 4 new tires and I am curious if any of you have
used a different tire size (other than the factory recommended
235-60-16)like a 55 series, and how that worked out.
If not, what brand tire have you had luck with?

Due to a worn out drivers seat, I thought its best a find a breaker.

sound good to me?.

I always wanted to own a Mercedes SEL. Never owned one before.
I am going to look at a 1987 420 SEL with only 85 K miles.
Very low miles; why? Never used or too many problems to be used...???
What are things I should look at? Any items which are prone

I've read some previous posts about this, but I haven't quite been
able to piece them together.
I have a 380SE (1984).  (I love it).  However, all of a sudden, I
could not open the trunk.

On my 190e, my oil pressure seems to go down as the car warms up. This I
think seems to be a fairly new occurance. My car was somewhat overheating
due to a bad water pump. I just recently replaced it and the car doesn't
overheat (stays around the 80-90 mark) but my oil pressure ...

I am driving a 1996 Mercedes E320.  Can anyone tell me what is a good tire
to purchase for this vehicle?  I have noticed there a ton of tires however
as anyone knows, you can spend little or alot.  So I am trying to see what
is good at a good price.

I'm looking at a 1999 MB C230 Kompressor with 75,000 miles for $14,000.  What
has been some of your experiences with this model?  Is this a good price for
this car?  
Thanks.

I'm having problems with the dashboard lights (loose connection) and
the clock on my 1986 560SL. I need to remove the steering wheel, but
the MB service manual only shows instructions for the pre-airbag model
