Benzaddict,

Thanks for the advice. ODdly enough, the back seat will be occupied mostly by my 7 year old, so it sounds like it will just right for her! This could turn out to be pretty sweet. The...

Very low force of heater blower

Hi guys.

I have a 1993 500SEL, and I think I have a problem with my heater blower motor and/or regulator. When the temp settings are set to heat, I get very little force, or blown air, coming from...

El Presidente,

Thanks for the thoughts. I think I will miss the size, but to tell you the truth, I'm looking at about $2,000.00 worth of suspension work on the old car, so the ride is really just...

2000 CLK320...Purchase or not?

Hi all!

I'm going to test drive a 2000 CLK320 tomorrow and I'd like to get some opinions on the overall reliability of this car. I currently have a 1993 500SEL that I will be trading. (I love the...

Just got one from Phil about 2 weeks ago

Snapped the old one off my 93 500SEL in the carwash like a dang idiot! Runs about $75.00 and it can be a pain to install if the old plastic "rip cord" is left behind in the motor, but overall not too...

Great MB only shop in Louisville

Hi 420!

I have been using a great little MB only shop called Autobahn Motors here in Louisville for about 6 months now, and they really seem to do a great job. It's a no frills shop, so there is...

Did you get your antenna fixed yet?

Conrad,

Did you ever get the antenna to "Grip"? I have the exact same problem on my 140 right now. (Got stupid and turned on the radio inside a carwash!) I ordered the replacement mast from...

I agree!

I have a K-40 in my Benz, but for the most part is just annoying because I so rarely drive over 75MPH on the highway. HOWEVER, on those rare Sunday mornings when I "air it out", it's nice to have...

Thumbs up Thanks guys!

Cool. I'll give it a shot tomorrow night and we'll see what happens! I was just really afraid to break them, because if they are like everything else on my car they cost an arm and a leg.:rolleyes:

Rear Door Sills on W140

I recently had a cd changer installed in my 93 500SEL, and I realized that the shop left one of my rear door sills kind of sticking up on one end. I've searched the forums for info on 140...

Here's my story, sad but true..

I guess I'll put my 2 cents worth in:

In June of this year I bought a 1993 500 SEL from a family friend. I had a 98 Lexus ES300 at the time, which I bought new. I sold my Lexus and bought the Merc...

Thanks!

Thanks everyone. That's where I thought, but I wanted to be sure before I did it. Wouldn't want to put fluid into a place it doesn't belong!

BTW, why doesn't MB put that in the darn manual????

Please help a stupid man! PS Fluid?

heat in the summer?

Well, oddly enough, on a really hot day here my temp guage was up around 105 degrees, so I thought I'd turn on the heat to vent it a bit! That's when I noticed that I couldn't get any heat in the...
