Need help. My tranny in a 1982 Euro turbo 300d is on the fritz and I
need to replace it pronto. Wondering if anyone might have the below
transmission. Will pay any reasonable price...but it needs to be this
exact transmission (nothing else will work).

In an article on synthetic oil today on the web in AOL the following
appears :
"At one time, those who switched from conventional to synthetics had to
stick with synthetics-there was no going back. Synthetics expanded

On my 85 190E the other morning when I was driving to the train station
the turn signal would not work but the hazard warning lights did.
After work, the car would not start.  I noticed a clicking sound coming
from under the fuse box area without the key even in the ignition.  I

My power antenna won't go up. I hear a clicking sound from the unit but
nothing happens. Are there rebuild parts available or is there some
kind of fix I can perform?

When will the new S450 be available in the US?
Thanks,

I have a 1990 Mercedes 300E.  Have 225000 km. I changed spark plugs,
dist. cap. rotors, ignition wires, cleaned air filter, put in injector
cleaner and drove the car for over 300 km.
Checked vaccum lines best I could. Engine light does not come on. I

Hello.  I just picked up a used 1987 260E  with the hope of turning it
into a daily driver.  Right now it won't start.  When I turn the
ignition, I can hear the starter motor cranking the engine, but the car
won't start.  Actually I got it to start up once, but as soon as I put

Gotta turn it down. To get it equiped like I want it would cost about
$93000. And the seat is realy not as comfortable as my 10 year old
S420. The new one may be safer to drive. But the window glass is thiner
and it sounds louder to me. Of course the seat coolers are nice even if

Hi folks I've been perusing this sight for a while now, and your
enthusiasm and passion for these cars is contagious.
I just bought a 1980 300D. I am going back and forth from being exited
to a feeling of dread that I made a mistake.

Does anyone with a modern (2004) MB fitted with the Thermotronic
(intelligent) Air Conditioning system (not the Thermatic AC system)
know how to make it supply fresh air from the outside?
I have studied the OM in detail, and I can find no way to achieve this

Have ordered a Lexus LS430. The main problem with the MB550 is the lack
of a good dealer in town, closely followed by the anticipated lack of
reliability for the money. When I test drove the thing, the salesman
commented he wouldn't test drive a car on that section of road, which

Can someone point me in the right direction.  I'm trying to replace the
alternator belt in my 78 300d, but I can't figure out how the belt
comes off/tensions.  How do I loosen this belt?
thanks,

Aux fan stopped working. Will run with temperature switch disconnected
from drier and terminals jumped. Tried disconecting temp sensor on
thermostat housing (with engine running) and grounding lead to engine
but fan will not operate with this test. Fuse is okay, checked with

For the last year or so the right side speakers will kick in and work only
on a hot day. Today I pulled the rear seat and swapped the left and right
amplifiers. The problem followed the amplifier. I went the
resolder-all-joints route to no avail.

On my 1985 300D I detect a rumbling when I unload the drivetrain
(neither accelerating or decelerating, just holding neutral rpm's). I
notice it when driving at normal speeds (55). Could it be the
driveshaft carrier?
