I have a 1987 300E and the timing is a bit advanced.
I world like to back it off a bit.
I heard there is a trim socket with different value resistors?
Where is this located?

Hi I have an 89 300e that refuses to start. A while back one of the fuel
pumps blew a hole in its side so I replaced it along with the fuel filter and
all the crush washers for everything in the assembly. Now when I try to start
it, it just turns over and does not even try to start. ...

The speedometer and odometer on my 1984 300sd
stopped working.  The other instruments are working fine.
There is not a speedo connected to the back of the
cluster on this model.  Is there anything I can do or

I am overhauling the suspension on my W140, including control arm
bushings.
I have got one front control arm out without problems, but on the
other the front excentric bolt is stuck. The nut and the excentric

is it critical to have all matching tires in 4Matic models. I mean as
far as wear (all 4 similar) and brand goes.
I want to replace 2 of them now and later another 2.
Thx,

Last Friday my a/c belt snapped and flew off on I-85 somewhere near
ATL's airport. I did not know that it happened as I thought my ac had
just pooped out. I had given it a charge 2 weeks ago and it ran very
well until Friday. Anyway when I looked into the engine compartment, I

It's a '99, 4matic, and the shop says they can only get the part from the
dealer, at $1170.
I've Googled around and can only find rear CV joints.
Anybody know of an aftermarket source for this part?

The cat on my 380sl was plugged because of a valve stem seal issue.
So I temporarily replaced it with a straight pipe, just to see what
the effect would be, at least until I can get the seals done. Voila!
The car is now far more responsive than it ever was, and I'd venture

Since I'm getting ready to replace the leaky steering box on my 380sl
with 150k miles on it, I'm wondering if I should take the opportunity
to replace the steering coupler too, even though there's no indication
that it's worn. Looking at the steering box, I was also wondering

what is the best source to get decent oil filter for my car  '00 E320
4Matic. The oil change shop charged me like $20 for it.
Thx,

I wrote recently about what I thought were frozen rear brake calipers on my
'89 300e.
I bought and installed rebuilt calipers and when I tried to bleed them today
I found that there is no brake fluid pressure in the lines to either of the

What tires do you guys like for the 123 models? The old Michelin ZX is gone,
most tires I find are cheap tires for cars that weigh a lot less than my
panzer, plus I drive on terrible mountain roads.

I've posted about my problem before, and I still have the same issues about  
starting, but now I have established a pattern.  My car starts fine in the
morning, but almost like clockwork, when I go to start it after work, or at
lunch, it cranks but no start.  May take about 10 ...

I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons of getting a Carsoft multiplexer as
opposed to letting my dealer charge me the same amount to plug my car in for a
single diagnostic.
Does anyone know whether the Carsoft shows all codes that the Star does, or is
