Re: [MBZ] W116 rear window seal

Readily available from any dealer for a little over $100. Don’t use URO!!! OE rubber is the only way to go. I would find and pay a competent mobile glass guy in your area to do the work. These can be notoriously difficult to do, and they’re easy to crack as they’re often laminated glass if

Re: [MBZ] 1990 560SEL - 190k miles, no reverse - $3,000

A Sun Valley rebuild is only $1750 exchange. That’s not bad. Get the car for $1500, drop about $2500-$3000 for the transmission and R and you’ve got a 560SEL for under $5k. -D > On Jul 12, 2021, at 5:57 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > "Price is negotiable..." > > ...hopefully

Re: [MBZ] 1964 220SE 4-speed

If the car is original and in good condition $40k-$50k would not be unrealistic. I didn’t look that closely at it, but if it has been repainted and not a “correct” MB color for the vintage, that would take away from the value. That being said, restorable parts cars like this that are drivable

Re: [MBZ] W123 transmission pan bolts torque

No sealant. There is a rubber seal that is used that seals perfectly without sealant. The pan has places formed into the edges that make it seal properly and will distort if you overtighten. A common misstep by many, which causes the pan to leak. -D > On Jul 6, 2021, at 11:36 AM, Randy

Ouch. Sucks getting old, doesn’t it? Could be worse, like a knee or hip replacement. Just had my 10 year colonoscopy and they found a “pre-cancerous” polyp. So now I’m on for every three years, Fun, but better than pushing up daisies. -D > On Jul 9, 2021, at 4:20 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes
