R 129 forum

Hey guys, r 129 forum, I've been driving an 03 Volvo S60 base with the 5-speed for a couple of years now at around 35, miles a year and it's getting far enough along in its life that I'm starting to lose a little trust. I'm also just getting a bit bored, r 129 forum. I drive r 129 forum the Causeway to New Orleans every day for school so 50 miles of my 85 mile commute is 65mph and straight as an arrow, so the comfort of the Volvo has been appreciated and I'm not sure I could endure much worse. My first car was a 95 E Diesel with over k miles and it was still amazingly solid, so I have a bit of a soft spot for that era of Mercedes.

R or W?? Thread Tools. I see the chassis code for these cars referred to both as a W and as an R Which one is correct for this car?? A few goodies on the car itself -- Brilliant Emerald metallic, parchment interior, 57K miles, never hit or damaged except for a spot of "curb rash" on one part of the bottom of the front bumper , an all original car. Stitching on the original black soft top isn't even discolored We just bought the car a couple of weeks ago after talking to the previous owner and the local M-B dealer who has all the records on it. Garage kept all its life and best as we can tell never abused. It's got a few little kinks to work out one horn doesn't work, gas gauge won't always register "F" after a fill up, etc. All the mechanisms for the hard top and soft top work flawlessly and it's a work of art just to watch it all operate. I spent most of last weekend polishing the car with 3M Imperial Hand Glaze, then waxing it with Meguiar's Carnauba Wax -- looks like a brand new car!!! I tried attaching a picture - let's hope it comes through Thanks for the help on the what the correct chassis code is.

The manual transmission parts have to be quite rare if there are any issues. Let's see what the hive says. But it is very heavy and quite awkward to do, but perfectly r 129 forum if you don't have a hoist.

Check for hydraulic oil traces on the back of the interior rear view mirror before trying the top mechanism. History of R lkchris Mar 22, Locked. The M is well understood overall, and likely due for a head gasket soon at that mileage if not done yet, but should then be good for another k. H Old R It'is an older girl , K on the clock - sometimes when I try to "give it some beans" it seems to have a problem getting into revs, it sounds as the fuel pump straggles with fuel delivery. There are also cost effective fixes for some of the issues that were MB parts only previously and therefore much more expensive. Dumb or Smart?

Interior is robust, steering and suspension are basic but effective - and common with the R X-Prepared SL speedster anyone? Needless to say, they did not buy that car on trade-in. I do think it would hold its value better—because rare—but if you're thinking SL, why not ? The manual is a dogleg and has more gears than the early auto, which is super useful considering this is a 3 liter in a fairly heavy car. Jul 11, by Valerie Hansen.
