I could use some advice before diving into the fusebox in my w108, 72 280SE 4.5. I plugged in a cigarette lighter power adapter after starting the car this AM....
They are a Ceramic fuse and the same as W123 126 cars etc. You may find the cigarette lighter feed wire has become unscrewed . Remove the glove box liner and...
I think that you may have missed the other symptoms - horn and radio out. I found the #2 fuse was blown, so that explains the horn and cigar(ette) lighter, at...
Hi yes it is.It's also one of the less common short fuses which you have to order from your MB dealer. No one else has them. It sounds like they used the hot...
If you find that fuse, let me know I was unable to locate one and I have cultivated some pretty good parts sources over the years. Be sure in any case that you...
Ron, Can you clarify what you mean by "yes it is"? Did you mean that my fuse is a 25A fuse, despite the color? I guess the real question is - what fuse...
Yes,they are 25 amp and yes they are the correct length for that position. Those are not spacers ,but terminals so lower rated fuses cannot mistakenly be put...
You can temporarily repair the fuse by soldering 25A fuse wire across the fuse. Hein. ... From: Ron Bunting To: mercedesw108@yahoogroups.com Sent: 26 May 2009...
Ron, Many thanks for your help in the matter. The MB Classic Center had them in stock (had about 400 of them), and they're $1.50 each, plus a few bucks for...
Hi guys just been driving my W108 the one I bought in the US, I was out there last week and it was a joy to drive over 500 miles.. But I noted that the dash...
The classic center service is probably second to none when dealing with older cars. Tom Hanson there is a W180 ( ponton model) expert who can quote any part or...
Dash lights are controlled by the rheostat on the rear of the cluster. On a W108 it’s an easy matter to remove the cluster by sliding your hand up under the...
Wow! Gorgeous! I have one of these and can tell you the switch for the dash lights is very temperamental in mine. Sometimes it just goes off and it's a real...
I think Ron hit this on the button. I had exactly the same issue on my C107 450SLC 5.0. I pulled the dash and removed the rheostat and squirted some WD40. Dash...
I would check the fuse and jiggle the rheostat first before I would take out the instrument cluster. If the lights flicker while jiggling the rheostat, then...
Hi All I am faced with seized water taps on the heater unit. These taps have not been moved for more than 20 years. (Replacing the unit is not the solution I...
Hi, do you have clear access to the tap body? .If have one of those small MAPP guns or a propane torch ( the very small kind) . Just warm the outside of the...
Hi Ron The whole heater box needs attention (ie the foam on the air valves need replacement), and it is outside the car and taken apart. This car was last...
Hi,it's really simple.I just use washing soda (10%) and water as electrolyte. Using the heater valve as the cathode (-) and a peice of clean steel as the...
Ron It all sounds very correct and I will employ this. I think current and not voltage matters, and I can easily make up a 1amp power supply. I will get some...
Ron, You are the font of all information that is useful ... I don't suppose you have a spare 4.7 Porsche V8 lying about as well? Michael ... From: "Ron...
Ali I have seen your name on the Mercedes forums. It appears that you have an interest in the W108/109 series cars. I have just begun the "restoration" of a...

No me,but there is an abandoned Project about 10 feet away from where I sit which runs well and was stripped and straightened out but never finished ( needs...
The window trims won’t fit the lesser models because the window frame is a different shape. You need the whole 109 door. The outer part is chrome plated...
Ron, Thanks for the input. I already have all four 109 doors with the chrome trims. I am aware that they are different. Are the screws that you are talking...
Both,any of those fine self tapping chrome screws are almost impossible to find. Same goes for the wood work too. From: mercedesw108@yahoogroups.com...
The part number at the Mercedes Benz Classic center is: 072581-025100N They are no longer white; they shipped short blue fuses. Works for me. Price, at the...
