I removed the alumimum washer and replaced it with a brass one, but it

I test drove a 1987 300E with the automatic V6 3.0 the other day and notice
right away the car was really sluggish
when starting from a stop position.  It seems almost as if there is
something wrong with the transmission.  I would

Any CLK 320 owners out there? I'm strongly considering getting a 2005 320
coupe. The reviews have been mixed. How does it handle? I know it would be
different from the BMW 330 I'm leaving but it (the MB) is IMO much better

My 79 300td(automatic Transmission) is having problems shifting when it

My 1996 SL320 has all of a sudden activated the red light button on the

Consequently, I can not remove the hard top or unlock the mechanism.
Futhermore, the roll bar, button has also sized and the alarm light under

I'd like to take a gander at the following service bulletins for my

I considering buying a new 2006 E350 4Matic or 2006 BMW 530xi. People keep
telling me that I would have less trouble with the BMW. Does anyone have any
recommendation on which one I should get?

I have a 300SD with some pretty nasty leather seats.  I an going to try
to resuscitate them with Leatherique, just to see if the stuff works
like they claim it does.
Has anyone used the stuff? Any input will be appreciated.  I would like

Well, recently my 1988 560SL suffered from the typical "broken waterneck" so
often discussed in forums in the past.  Enough of the neck was still
attached to the tank to allow the hose to stay on, so I bided my time in
replacement,ordering an all-metal zeigler radiator in Jan.  My ...

I have done some searches and came up with lots of hits about making your
