In the past 2 weeks I managed to fix 3 problems with my 420SEL, all with the help of this site.

Replaced voltage regulator (I normally would have replaced the alternator without even thinking about it.)

Fixed a long nagging ABS light problem by simply cleaning the sensors.

Firmed up the sagging seats by using the pool noodle trick.

To every one that contributes to this site, especially those who contibuted to the above issues, I SALUTE YOU ALL.

I agree Mike. Even though I don't have the time or resources to do many DIY jobs this site has made me much more educated customer when I bring my cars in for service.
