hard-facing rod and re-machining it? I'm looking at replacing a $350
flywheel if the gear can't be repaired .Unfortunately the gear is integral
to the flywheel so it can't be replaced.

What exactly were the changes made to the 2004 Model Year S Class?  Is there
a site I can get the list of changes?
Also, were the headlights also changed in shape or was it only the change to
a clear lens?

I saw a thread that implied that using chainsaw oil improved things for a
Mercedes engine. One terrifying statement talked about the oil "glueing".
The reason why a variety of different oils exists is that different engines

I have a '94 E320 that has developed an idle that "pulses" from an average
600 rpm up to 750 then down to 500 then it levels out for a while and then
starts the cycle again.  It doesn't die,it doesn't care if it is hot or
cold. It's just the way it is.  Are there any ideas where ...

Anyone know good resources to see what cars like this are going for? Seems
that in Raleigh, NC the prices you see posted on similar cars are higher

Only found one in local paper. I've got one with 225k ...

I live in Australia and have a 1990 300E 24 Valve.

know brake systems pretty well and i think the reason it does this is the
pads are rubbing on to the rotors heating them up causing the rotors ...

Can anyone please help me in identifying the type and operation of A/T in my
'92 500 SEL? It doesn't have any Sport/Economy switch. It has P->R->D->3->2

moving it left into the 'B' slot.

On my 82 240D, it no longer delays shifting when the accelerator pedal is
fully depressed. What device controls this?

Thanks
