Many of the new models feature the 7 speed. Does this
transmission provide significant performance and
economy advantages over the 5 speed?
I know that the 7 speed is not on the higher horsepower

Hey all,
It seems the rear left window on my 87 300D won't come back up.  Fuse is
good, have switched switches -- no joy.  It sounds like the window motor
could be clicking but it won't let the window move.  Any emergency ideas on

My '86 300SDL currently has Toyo 215/60R15's on it that were on it
when i bought the car last year It handles great in wet or dry, better
even tham my 450SL does. It has come time to replace 2 of them. The
local Toyo dealer say proper size for a 300SDL should be a 205/65

One of the front dash 4" speakers on my wife's '95 E320 blew out and I am
replacing the pair with a set of Pioneer speakers.  No big deal, but I
happened to notice that the right-hand (passenger side) dash speaker has two
sets of leads going to it rather than one.  Any idea what ...

I am about to have my A/C evaporator replaced, so I thought since the dash
has to come out, I might take advantage and have the clock repaired.  I've
been told you have to replace the entire instrument cluster to repair the
clock.  It's really not worth the $900 the dealership ...

Why would there be gouges/chunks missing at the top 1/4" of the
cylinder #5 wall, while this doesn't exist in the other cylinders?
Could that be caused by an excessively lean mixture in that cylinder?
If so, what would cause this in that cylinder only?

looking at an 89 190. 113k, leather looks good, body good. power window
switches are exposed, someone had door panels off for some reason. have to
wait for test drive. any special kinks to be aware of?

My a/c compressor works fine for awhile and then cuts off when the car
temp seems to rise.Ive taken it to 2 shops and they are stumped.any
help would be appreciated. thanks jeff

I am currently having my head gasket replaced on my 1987 300D Turbo
(124).  The mechanic tells me that the wall where the gasket sits
between cylinder 5 and 6 is only as thick as a dime where as the
others have normal thickness, which is probably why the engine ran

For complicated reasons I have to sell my 2001 CLK430 convert which has
18,500 miles and in perfect shape and has new tires. I live in Central
Florida. What asking price do you think is fair? DS

Was or is this model available in North America?
thanks

Does anyone know the precise type of material that the front spoiler (skirt)
on the '04 SLK 230 is made from?
Also, I'm not particularly fond of the orange color of the instrument panel
lights.  I had an Integra way back when, and it was a common customization

Just to say my Jaguart s type is is far smoother more comfortable and
tecnilogicaly advanced than my 180 Merc, so far, keep fingers crossed

I've got an old mercedes here, not sure of the year, probably late 70's.
It's been sitting in the driveway since '88.  I'm to the understanding that
just before it became a permanent fixture there, that the engine and
transmission was rebuilt.  My question is, after sitting for 22 ...

broken and failing, the air con is working ok.
I found one second hand ?150 (new Merc price ?470) had it sent to me in the
