  1. In 1965, the W112 was terminated and succeeded by the more contemporary W108 and subsequently the W109 series. The initial W108 model was the 250S, succeeded by the 250SE, which was eventually replaced by the 280S and 280SE. This vehicle was owned by a Club member, but I believe it has since been sold.
  2. The 230S was marginally downgraded relative to the 220S, which had been the pinnacle of the pre-facelift W111 series, positioned just beneath the W112 300SE in the previous lineup. Eugen Bohringer successfully rallied a W112 300SE for Mercedes-Benz in the early sixties, and I believe this vehicle is still displayed in the foyer of the Hotel Bohringer in Stuttgart, managed by his family.
  3. The 230S succeeded the 220S as a W111 model, featuring an enlarged 2.3L engine and twin carburettors, along with additional chrome accents to differentiate it from the 220S. Below are several images of my black 230S, which appeared to be in satisfactory condition upon acquisition, despite extensive prior welding work. Unfortunately, significant rust remains in hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, I have included a couple of images of my 220S.

  5. The 200, 230, and 230S were components of the facelifted, or second generation, Heckflossen, launched in 1965. A notable feature of the blue vehicle depicted above is its retention of the correct, original wing mirrors, which were originally intended for door mounting; however, many dealers installed them on the wings, where they remained functional due to the wraparound windscreen. Upon closer inspection, you will observe them positioned correctly on my black automobile, further down. My friend's 230 (not S) featured the shorter bonnet and round headlamps characteristic of the 190, which remained a W110 but was equipped with a six-cylinder engine, now up to 2.3L. This was essentially a sequel to my Ponton 219 W105, which was really a 190 equipped with the six-cylinder engine from the larger 220. Further information is available on the heckflosse.nl website, which offers engaging content.
  6. Is the battery still robust after being allegedly unused for an extended period?
  7. Are you indicating that it continues to overheat?

    He said that there is no white disc. I also verified that I did not own a key fob.

    I need to enquire with him.

    I believe he just places it in the front cup holder upon entering the vehicle, however I am aware that he has installed a new battery.
  11. Yet another superfluous post created by artificial intelligence.
  12. I believe that the version of the software I am using will need coding.While I have a suspicion that the problem lies not with the head unit itself, but with the fuse box, specifically the live connection on fuse F25 is creating the issue inside the box.
  13. What is the purpose of fuse 25? In my opinion, I would remove the glovebox and thoroughly inspect the fuse box, jbe module, and related wire connectors for any indications of moisture or corrosion.
  14. It would be advisable to provide specific information about the automobile, such as the type and year, since you have not mentioned these.
  15. In my opinion, the benefit of using MB for maintenance on a relatively new vehicle is their Mobilo service. I contacted them around 18 to 24 months ago regarding my inability to open the fuel flap on my Mercedes-Benz GLE. The Mobilo staff advised me to take it to a Mercedes-Benz dealership. Upon contacting the dealership, I was informed of a three-week waiting period. I then called Mobilo again, and they sent their mobile service van. It turned out that no replacement part was needed, since the van already had the necessary component, which I purchased for around £40. If I had brought the vehicle to MB, I am certain that the diagnostic charge, as well as the cost of the item and its installation, would have amounted to about 400-500 pounds. Approximately 11 months later, the unit began to exhibit difficulty in opening and sometimes became stuck. Mobilio offered the option of dispatching the RAC service on the same day or the Mobilo service on the next day. The Mobilio was repaired the next day, and the flap opener was replaced once again. I am certain that it has a guarantee that lasts for 24 months. Following the advice of others, I scheduled a B, A B service for my vehicle's automatic gearbox at the 5-year mark. It helped me save a few pounds, I suppose.
  16. None of them have a temperature gauge anymore. My E60 had lines by the rpm counter that would change based on the engine temperature. Does your version lack that feature?
  17. Who was the former proprietor? The service history of my G30 was provided as a printout by the leasing company, and there was not a significant amount of information available on the iDrive system.
  18. The latest version of the v10 closely resembles the v10 architecture that Lamborghini has been using for many decades. Hence, I assert that my primary nationality is Italian.
  19. Do you know which turbocharger offers the most optimal outcomes? I am a complete novice in this field, hence I have no knowledge or understanding.
  20. Would I get significant benefits by mapping it?
  21. I own a 2000 323ci equipped with the M52TUB25 engine. I have been extensively searching for suggestions on how to enhance its power, but unfortunately, I have not come across any definitive recommendations. Does anybody have any proven and verified ideas?
  22. However, it is common to see that these types of automobiles are mostly sent to Europe for the purpose of obtaining spare parts. I really dislike the sale of secondhand components in Europe due to their exorbitant prices. Typically, I purchase items from the UK since, even after factoring in taxes, it is still more cost-effective.

    Impressive! I previously had two manually operated CTS-V vehicles that were custom-made. I long for their presence. Have a pleasurable experience!
  24. Apply masking tape to the surface of the body. I used a compact Makita 10.8 volt drill equipped with a polishing head. Commence with very low rotational velocities Take a peek on YouTube.
  25. In such scenario, a location in Kent that is situated along a main commuter railway line would likely be the most advantageous choice. Maybe Maidstone or Chatham? Alternatively, if you go farther into the area, Dartford or Bexley, the cost of lodging is likely to increase.
