Hi,
Interesting one...
as of yesterday, I am the proud owner of a UK 1988 W126 500SEL. Really happy with it, but it does have a couple of things wrong...
- When reveresing slowly, the whole car shudders. This clears up when speed picks up.
- The electric headrest (passenger side) is stuck at its lowest setting. I've tried pushing the release button in the back of the seat, and pulling it up, but it wont budge.
I've had a few mercs before (from 2 A160s to a 350SLC via a couple of
190E 2.6s), and this is by far the classiest place to be. The petrol consumption is TERRIFYING, but the old girl was only 450 pounds, so i'm not worried by these silly little problems so long as the shuddering isn't the gearbox about to give up.Any advice would be greatully recieved.
Many Thanks,
Dan
