Thanks for all the advice. Maybe I'll see if I can get hold of the GM leather cleaner before trying the 303.

re: 126 Vacuum Modulator R&R help,

Hi Goldstone,

Did you manage to do this with the gearbox still in the car? Do you know if there would be enough room to complete this with a coupe?


Thanks.

Adam

re: to gassguzzler Adam

Bobboyer

I think I read your previous post wrong. Mine ONLY flutters when the car is doing 1500rpm, which is usually around 30 or 40mph - which is the normal around town speeds.


I will have...

Question Service manual/CD for a UK 500SEC ('84)

Hi,

I was wondering if the service cd for the 1984 500SEC would be adequate for my UK version. What type of things are likely to be different, and is the cd really worth $170!!:confused:

Thanks
