Fuel question (after winter storage)

Hi everyone Before I put the car away in November, I filled up with v-power and put in some stabilizer. It started up without issue in April and I have been driving it since. I don't drive the car very much, so I still have 3/4 of a tank. I am wondering if it would be beneficial to top up now with fresh fuel, or continue to use it and put in a lot more fresh fuel maybe once I get to 1/4 remaining. I am just a bit concerned that the fuel is now 7 months old. Thanks Oliver

Recommended Hydraulic Fluid

What is the recommended soft top hydraulic fluid for a 2011 E550 cabriolet? My level is a little low, and I can't seem to locate the information in my owner's manual or online. Thanks!

Gearbox hesitates when flooring it from standstill

With 450SL when in standstill and I'm flooring it, the wheels spin for a moment, the gearbox kicks back a bit and obviously shifts up, and then it drives off with "normal" acceleration. Is this normal? Shouldn't be leaving rubber on the tarmac for as long as it has torque available? Not that I would want to do that all the times, but I would just like to know if it's normal behaviour and if not, what to repair or adjust. Thanks in advance for your help.

Blower motor sometimes not turning on (blower motor regulator: pic)?)

I replaced our 09's blower motor I believe last year. It was making some sqeaks but zero issues turning on/off or adjusting the fan speed. I replaced it with an OEM blower motor and zero issues. I did NOT replace the blower motor regulator. Fast forward today. I go to turn the air on/fan on and I hear nothing. Thinking I had it set to the wrong position I put it on the tpo vnetns and cranked up the fan to max speed and still nothing. I shut it off/on..adjusted and can hear the flapper doors...

M116 420SE camshaft

Hello guys. I have one question. I changed new camshaft (from febi) about six months ago. The car fires up every two weeks. Recently, I looked under the oil filler cap and saw rust on the camshaft. Is it normal?. Where could the problem be? Is the roller already suitable for the garbage can?
