I have a 1983 W123 230 TE and recently the suspension got very bouncy
whenever I hit an uneven road. I was advised by my mechanic to change

installation guide (M 3007) that allows a person to roll a new chain
into a M116  by himself?
Thanks very much for the info.

Last autumn, I switched to Amsoil synthetic. There were a number of
posts here relating to the switch. However, now after three months, my

all with around 200,000 to 250,000 miles that have gone pretty cheap -
$3500 - $4500.  Would it be stupid to even consider a car with that many
miles?  I tell you they all look beautiful; just high miles.

Does anyone know anything about Electric heater instead of webasto diesel

sweet :-(

Just recently I've been having endless problems starting  the C180. (
Not weather related, average temp here is around 28C ) If the car is
parked on a level site there is no problem but just let her be on a
slope, either way, then it takes forever. The battery is a new Bosch and

As I was jacking my 380sl up to fix a flat, the jack bent under the
car's weight. So, I searched the archives and found someone who had
reported the same problem with a 380sl.
I was just wondering if anyone here had the same problem with a 107 or
