I hear a vibration only when I put the car in drive and reverse only. What
things do I need to check?

Anybody know of a decent alternative to the front battery for an 03 E500.It
looks like a typical motorcycle battery. Something that should be in the
$40-60 range, not the $100 plus dealers want.
What's the purpose of the battery in front? What does the rear battery do?

Can anyone confirm that ALL modern (post 1995) MB petrol engines
should be described as 'interference' engines?

tires on the back wheels.
The steering wheel is shaking a little bit when speed reaches over 60-70

I have both cars and they both share the same problem, worse on the
300SD. The power sunroof opens very slowly and closes slower, and
getting even slower with time. We're talking slow! I'm almost afraid
to open them now for fear they won't close again. I have no experience

I test drove a used 1997 E420 Today.  This car is loaded with all
options available.  It has the traction control feature also.  It
seemed as though when I stepped on the gas there was a bit of a lag in
acceleration.  Is this normal due to the traction control system being

Does anyone know when the current S550 will get a facelift?  Also, will an
S450 version be coming to the US?

I HAVE A 89' 560 SEL. The problem that I have now is the door handle
(outside) behind the drivers door. I tried one day to open the door and the
handle wouldn't work. The inside door opener works fine. Now, is it pretty
straight forward to replace this door handle? Is there ...

I have a 1988 420 SEL. Upon changing the plugs, the passenger side were all in good condition, BUT all four dirver's side were very foulded up. The scope check seemed normal, all pistons firing. My mechanic said it is not the fuel distributor (?) but could need rings replace Ouch ...

to get a baseline before converting my car to run on
veggie oil.  I'll check it regularly to see if the veggie
oil is screwing up the engine and post the results online.
