1995 E320 wagon 136K runs great except for acceleration problem. It
hesitates/surges when accelerating mid to high speeds (60 to 80). The
car used to be very smooth through all speeds. This is intermittent but
happens when the engine is warm. The engine light doesn't come on. I've

Hey out there,
Does anyone know how I can get an owner's manual for my 1997 E-420 sedan?
I'll even settle for a copy of the manual.  I'm not desperate but I can
play the part.  I just purchased the vehicle and there are a few things

    I have an 81 380sl that tends to run hot in the summer, and I

I just picked up a 1987 300E with 187k on it. Runs great, except the
trans doesn't seem to want to shift into third. Reverse works fine, and
I can drive in second, but that's it. Won't go into third whether it's
in D or 3... Fluid is clean/proper level... is there a vacuum

1988 260E warms up at high rpms...
Cold start, engine will go up 2500rpms to warm up, then after it warms ups,
goes back to normal rpms...

Whilst attempting to open the bonnet of my E Class TD (1999), the
plastic operating catch situated beneath the steering wheel snapped.
On further examination the cable is visible (and accessible) but it
can't be budged, presumably because the bonnet catch is broken/stuck.
