I have a 1979 350SE which is pretty much in showroom condition, a couple of
minor interior controls let it down, I need two vent buttons, black with an
arrow on it and the plastic which surrounds the fan knob.

I just saw that the CV Boot has been ripped away on my '83 380SEL at the

 I recently bought a 1999 E320 that seems to have been well taken care of.
The only problem I now know of is, the backup light dont work.  I've checked
the bulbs and fuses.   I'd try bypassing the switch if I knew where it was.
 I'd sure appreciate hearing from anyone who knows ...

I have a 1999 C230 with 75,000 miles, and the paint is bubbling up and peeling.
It looks really nasty.  In some parts it's flaking off.  What causes this?  
How much would it cost me to have a new valve cover replaced?  
Thanks for your help.

I need to verify the Engine SN on my SL320. I have looked in all the common
places with no luck.
I recently had to replace the belt and much to my surprise it requires the
one for the S320 engine.
