I had a similar problem on the 300Sd that the hood would not latch down

I have found in some cases that if the cable jacket can move around there's too
much slack in the cable, preventing it from being pulled in enough to release
the latch. The S500 did this with the passenger side hood latch - the other

Worst-case scenario: source a new plastic grill insert, and

Bought my first Mercedes - a 9 year old 1973 280 - from a shady Iranian, at
night in a shady neighborhood near Tysons Corner, VA. We literally drove
it down the street 100 yards, turned around and returned to the house,
after which I wrote Mr. "Tony" Alami a check for $4700. Those were the
