Hello,

I just wanted to let you all know that I picked up a W115 M110 1975 280C 2 days ago. $1500. Decent shape, minimal rust.

I will clean it up as much as I can, and then post some pictures.

I am extremely excited about it, bogged down a bit with my 300Es frustrating and hard to find coolant leak, but still happy overall.

Can anyone tell me if the timing chain for this car is an issue? My mechanic said it was a weak spot for these engines.

What other areas should I look at? Any common troubles or preventive things I can do?
