Great, thanks!

I'm only the third owner, prior to me it was owned by the same older lady for 29 years so I do not suspect any sort of malicious intent, however a flush and service will be in...

Thanks all for responses, I will "change gear" and focus on cams and lifters. Just prior to taking that video I had the valve cover off to inspect the chain and I will post some photos below. Being...

High Mile 560SEL: Lifter or Timing Chain Noise?

I've recently purchased a lovely black/black '89 560SEL with rather high miles (424k) under the pretense that it needed a timing chain. It has a constant clack that is present on cold starts, hot...

ahh, thank you all!

When on the road far from home one must be resourceful; here's how I took care of this on a Sunday (read: nothing much open).

I could not get the correct part anywhere for...

Quick OM60x Delivery Valve Leak Question

Greetings

My '87 300SDL has developed a severe fuel leak while far from home. From some research it is probably the rubber o-rings on the delivery valves. My question about this is where the...

Sure enough the issue was with the resistor. Replaced with a junkyard unit and the aux fan is happy once again. I imagine @diseasel300 was correct in guessing that the seized fan cooked it.

After reinstalling the resistor the fan no longer comes on when the low pressure switch is jumped. I do, however still hear a click from the relay. I do not mean to be hasty in drawing a conclusion,...

I should still have the set of relays from my parts car 420, I’ll slap those in and see if the fan cheeches to life. As far as fuses go, they’re all brass/copper, however a new set and a contact...
