Re: Buying second hand engine
Let get some prespective here. Switzerland is a fabulously weathly country with a very high standard of living. Even minimum wage is twice (l think) the UK's. So naturally everything costs more to buy and do. Including cost of living, property and transport. In it's own world it works very efficien...

Ouch! Pouring salt into a very open wound!
A severe learning curve, me thinks.

Re: Cruise control instalation and alternative parts.
This is poor photo of mounting plate. Did you get one from from 4x4?
Probably not necessary if you didnt. Ive read some people just mount to bulkhead using plastic reg plate nuts and bolts to reduce vibration

Re: Cruise control instalation and alternative parts.
No doubt for LHD (not found any onfo for CC on RHD drive models), so you are looking for pre drilled holes to left of driving seat under centre dash. The ECU sits on a plate too. All all Yank imports from 1986 onwards come with prefitted wiring looms as you likely already know. I checked all through...

Re: High Top Removal

Re: A Numpty and his 2.1 Project
I took the case down as well to enquire about how much they'd charge to sort the broken studs and to give it a clean. Would be around £250 for the time taken to remove the studs or so I was told by drilling them out. Spark erosion was another option I was told but I'd have to go elsewhere for that...

Re: Recon 1.9 wbx 1984 DF Engine code
just as easy to put a 2.1 in .... fits just the same . If you can find one, that is. I have a spare early DG with inlet manifold. lt was pressurising the cooling system. So l rebuilt the top ends last year with new rings, gaskets and seals. All documented on this forum with photos. It was going in...

Re: Mercedes wheel fitting
First thing to check is whether they are weight specific for a larger vehicle. Also wheel holes are correct diameter. Mostly 12mm on Mercs. And 14mm on T25. As they are steels and not alloys, try rear wheel fitment first. Probably wont need longer studs on back unless spacer needed to stop any suspe...
