Ron quick question for you. I haven't been able to find a rev meter to see what my engine revs are so I can set the timing on my 4.5. I do have an extra gauge...
Hi, the tacho uses a signal from the earth side of the ignition ( does a 4.5 US version have the transistor box?) If it has the transistor box look on the...
What is the best way to remover the distributor and how do I make sure it goes back in correctly? Cheers, Paul ________________________________ From: Ron...
Hi, It looks like I only have the left one. All the best Al From: daboneheaddoctor Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 10:00 AM To: mercedesw108@yahoogroups.com ...

Hello: I am a new Member and I am looking to buy my first W108. I have really educated myself on the models and what to look for when buying a W108. I found a...
... It might be the modulator and or the wrong fluid. Check the receipts to see if the proper Benz fluid was used. From what I understand the heater controls...
I have done the heater controls twice expect to spend 2 days and pretty much disassemble the dash I have also done the blower motor and heater cores. Parts...
$7k seems way high to me. Prices started to really come down during the last gas price spike, and then the recession just finished values off. My $.02. I spent...

Just to let you know I paid $900.00 for my 72' 280SE 4.5. You can see pics of it in the photo album. I got a service folder on it for the last 14 yrs. The guy...
Thanks for all the information everyone, I am surprised at all the responses. I am going to pass on the car unless he will take $5000.00 and I can confirm that...

Ron You'd be surprised at how few MB mechanics know these old cars here. Some MB independents here in Dallas will flat out refuse to work on anything older...
