As much as is written on the subject I should feel confident enough to
figure out an answer but I a bit shaky. Here goes; '04 CL 17" AMG wheels

my friend has a 1993 500sel, it's got the doors that have a mechanism
that closes them when you pull them close to the car.
the driver door latch assy is bad as per the mechanic.  mechanic says
they have to special order that part from mercedes in germany.

Grey color.

I think I may have a glow plug out.  I have an '83 300sd, and I have some odd
colored smoke.  It smells like biodiesel, and I think maybe a cylinder is out?
How do I test the plugs, and wires?

Hi Folks -

Hi,I have tried to find a solution to my problem,on this forum an
didn't find one
I have a 89 560 sel daily driver and one day with the a/c on,th

I have a start prolem in my 84´ 380 SE (USA version) whith 100, 000
miles In cold conditions,( in the morning),it starts perfectly,but,
when  you stop the car after a trip, the temp gauge reads 85º C -
normal temp-, and  wait one or two hours -the temp gauge reads 40ºC-,

The A/C on my '95 E320 has started to act up a bit.  The compressor shuts
down if it is parked for a while in a hot location or if it has to sit for a
while at a stop light when it is hot outside.  If I then drive for a few
miles, turn the car off, and then turn the car back on, ...

Looking buying at a clean 1990 560 SEL with 140 k miles on it. Are these
cars reliable after this much time ? ( I know the mileage is "low")   What
might I expect from leaking seals, and other time based ware ? The top end
has been done - timing chain , etc, new tires - drove it ...

I just found this site, and you guys seem to be giving really sound advice.
Here is one that has stumped my mechanic.. (he refuses to charge me if he
can't solve the problem, but he has run out of ideas and apparently, spare
time :-))

On my 500 SL (type 107), the dash lights, odometer (I suppose it is
electronic on a 500 SL) and blower (automatic climate control unit)
are not working.  I checked the fuses, the rheostat in the dash is
OK.  Speedometer is also OK, as well as clock and other gauges.  Radio

 probably stupid question, but I don't know exactly what a Wheel Offset is
all about.  Most, if not all, MB wheels have a 5 bolt pattern at 112 mm.  The   bolt sizes vary, the older being a couple or so mm smaller than the newer so
that one has to be careful of the bolt 'seating' ...

I finally got around to adjusting my steering play this weekend on my
84 300D. I backed the allen screw out until it started to get harder,
then screwed it back in an eighth of a turn. I got in, turned the
ignition on, but didn't start the engine, and sawed away at the

Does anyone know how I can close the moon roof since the gearbox for
the electric motor is slipping internal? I tried to remove the drive
rod from the gearbox to manually turn but rod would not come out. Is
there a trick of some kind?? Thanks.
