nice looking 380SL in Boise today

I was driving in to work this afternoon from Star to Eagle Road and saw a nice looking 380SL on Chinden Road. He was East bound, as was I. Don't know if he is on the board here, but if he is, the car needs new exhaust mount rubbers! Rear muffler was all over the place on little bumps. I like the color, the very light green/silver of the era. I was in the white GL350, behind you for about two miles.

Driver Side Door Seal

I recently purchased a new driver side door seal for my 2002 Mercedes Benz C320 as there old one was damaged and needed replacement. The new door seal came with 4 colored plastic strips with clips but no instructions on where or how to place and I cannot seem to find any instructions online. Would anyone know or have an illustration or video available? Thanks

AC Still Crazy after all these Days

please note that I'm a beginner! I need one step at a time instructions lol! AC system converted a few months ago. Almost all AC system is new: compressor, rec drier, belts, hoses, aluminum hose pressure checked, aux fan is new, switches and servos to the gates/doors working. Condenser is not new but was told operable. Compressor unmistakingly comes on/off when asked. If the temp outside is cool, I get cool AC air. The warmer is gets ouside, the less cool the AC. Then, it was 100 last week... AC Still Crazy after all these Days

Fuel Injectors

My question is this; We put it all back together and it runs worse now than before. Like it's missing, not running on all cylinders. Could the one old injector be causing this? Any advice is...

R230 noise at idle or otherwise

2004 R230 has a whine coming from the engine bay. Louder when you get under the car at rear of motor/bellhousing. I have taken off the belt and made no difference. Is it possible this is the sticky starter / ring gear issue? I just serviced the transmission and that made no difference. The noise is almost identical to a bad pulley but I have eliminated those as the issue with the belt removal.

Change Service Interval Reminder

Hi Everyone, I've tried a couple google searches and forum searches to find out how to change the Service Interval Reminder setting. The only thing that I'm finding is how to reset the Service Interval Reminder after an oil change. Right now the Service Interval Reminder is set to around 9000 miles and a little over 700 days. I change my oil every 5000 miles or 180 days so I would like to reminder to be set to match that. Is changing the Service Interval Reminder possible? Thanks!

Any alternate way of opening the glovebox, if handle is nonfunctional?

I was trying to fix the loose pin on one of the hinges on the damn thing and actually fixed it but didn't properly set the handle before closing it, now the glovebox is locked shut and the handle is useless. Do I have to pry it open or is there another way?

Normal engine temp gauge reading?

I think my engine temperature gauge is now at a different position when the engine is hot then where it had been for the last three years. I thought it used to hang out just below the gauge mid point (around 70 C). But now when hot it moves to 90 C. No where near the red zone but I want to be preemptive if a problem is brewing. This is local or interstate driving. Can anyone share their normal warm engine temp reading? Thanks!

Why is Nissan Skyline so expensive?


In particular, the GT-R name lived for a very long time, too, and all of the generations have raced in various racing series. The road cars were all very, very tunable, as emphasised by the Fast & Furious movie series, thus bringing up demand so much that R34 prices have soared to around US$100,000.What makes the Nissan Skyline so special? - Quora

Harsh Shifting into Reverse - good information for everyone experiencing this ...

Right. It took me a while to figure out how the setup works. I initially thought that the spring plate hit the discs, but what actually happens is the spring plate is already up against the K1 clutch and the piston works against the springs in order to press on the discs. So, a harder spring means reverse engages more softly that if it were to have lighter springs. The discs engaging hard will prevent wear because otherwise they would slip for a brief moment before engaging. By only using...

Gearbox rubber mount

Hi to all MB and especially CLK enthusiasts! Today I replaced the gb rubber mounting on my 2006 CLK 200K as I suspected some vibrations to be originated from this part. ( I also intent to replace the engine mounts, but they are out of stock for the next couple of weeks). Anyhow, to come back to the gb mount, the old one did not show any evident wear marks, was not broken in anyway, but I can tell you the improvement on the car ride smoothness is enormous! I am so happy to have had it... Gearbox rubber mount

Misfire

I have an 1987 560SL and it runs very smooth as long as I am smooth on the accelerator. If I punch it it becomes very rough and misfires. I drive it every day like a little old lady and it gives me no problems. Any Advice?

I just purchased a 2020 AMG GTC CPO questions

When my car was delivered via transport from another State I drove it a few miles and noticed no problems. The next day I begin looking at the owners manual and saw that there are two ways to check the oil. one was a dipstick and one was an electronic reading on the dash but that the electronic reading might take 30 miles or a half an hour before it would show up. So I went out and checked my dipstick and to my surprise it was bone dry. Fearing that there had been a mixup... I just purchased a 2020 AMG GTC CPO questions

Rev Limiter Accelerator giving in cLK 430?? Help

For the last couple weeks I have been running into a huge problem. When pressing down on the accelerator real hard my car doesn't move and the accelerator gives in. By "give in" I mean I step on the accelerator and the car wont move. It will only move if I hold down on the accelerator and even then it will only increase my speed little by little. when I turn the car off and on everything goes back to normal. Would the rev limiter cause this to happen or can I be running into other problems... Rev Limiter Accelerator giving in cLK 430?? Help

Fuel gauge doesn't go below half

Hi all, new to me 1977 300d RHD has an issue where the fuel gauge won't go below about halfway (I found this it the difficult way, luckily I was only 25km from home. Fill up the tank above that level and the gauge is correct. Is this likely a sender issue or possibly an issue with the gauge? All other gauges work fine. Thanks, Matthew

Ml 320 bluetec

I left my key in the ignition for about 5hrs. The car wasn't running, but it was on. Of course, the battery died. What's worrying me is I wasn't able to jump it. Will charging it help if it won't jump start? I think my only charging option is under the passenger seat, and I currently can't move the passenger seat because of the dead battery….any ideas?

The engine gets a little hot, going to about 100 if car is stationed on a hot day, normally operates at around 87. I replaced the thermostat. The big fan, marked with yellow arrow, keeps spinning continuously. Are the other fans, marked with red arrows, supposed to spin up when things get hot? They turn on when the AC runs.
