In under 8 hours, we have a HUGE encyclopedia of W126 tips & tricks. Let's keep adding to this list.. If you come across something in your W126 that could help a new owner, potential new owner, or even something new you want to share with people who have owned these for years, DEFINATELY add it to this thread!

Thanks especially to Brian and Hatterasguy so far for their excellent contributions!

PS.. Now, will someone start a W140 thread like this one? I know about Bose amps, wiring harnesses, and evaporators but I'm sure there is a TON of stuff I don't know about those cars..
