How many Britishisms can I stuff in here? I'm chuffed to have scored Merkey's fine 190E. I found you lot more or less in a random search and there was his/my car on this forum. Brilliant.
Although I'm confident I'm getting a lovely, sorted car, I'm glad to have discovered this forum, as it seems clear there's a fantastic knowledge base here. Should I ever be flummoxed by some fault or want a second opinion to the local MB specialist garage (that's "gare-idge"), I know where to come.
Cheers!

Welcome to the Asylum!
LOL, I have to say that I dont think there is a better bunch of Mercedes crazies anywhere!
Hold on... I forgot the Diesel section!
I have never driven the 2.3 but I can tell you that the 2.6 is a smooth motor... but you have to spin it a bit.
I have always been a fan of straight 6's!
It is much faster than my 190D 2.2... but then the children in the house have a perfect nickname for her...
The Sloth.
Dont hear them complaining too much at the 33mpg and almost 400 miles between fills tho!
