Thanks..... yes, please post the photographs of the areas in question- they may be of the utmost help. The hoses are melted inside the glovebox compartment? Yes- the photos may help.

ASAIK, 560's last year was 1991- at least in the USA - then the "all new" S-class debuted in 1992.

I personally have never heard of a 560SE. I guess it was only available in Europe and is just a shorter wheelbase model? The only 560s I have saw were extended wheelbase models- entitled- 560SEL. Other than the coupes. I think there was also a convetible? 560SL?
