Rear view mirror with red/green LEDs? Or earlier version that doesn't have that?

They will rust absolutely everywhere. Floor plans, inner arches, boot floor, and that's just the stuff you can see. But if those bits are ok, at least you have a solid base if any more is found later.

No, the leads do push fit onto the threaded bits, it might have been done that way to add friction and secure them better, and it works

I have been using my C55 as a daily driver, but it's going to a weekend car for a while now as I am driving an old 190d as my daily instead, just because.

It will suddenly mean there are a finite amount of V8 c-classes in the world, ok so quite alot right now, still a scary thought for some (like me!)

Exactly. Not interested

Kind of this... It's not a part that ever sells, it's not worth much used, so people either haven't taken them before, or if they have a car there they can't be bothered.

I remember when they just made engines look beautiful by design, like the M120, or the M100 etc

Same sort of thing

I just changed the starter on my c55 which involved taking that side exhaust downpipe off, was straight forward, I don't know if yours requires the same for access, but make sure you have some new exhaust bolts ready if it does!

Without using a key (in the locks). Keyless-go still has a key, you just don't even have to press the button.

He's talking about installing remote central locking, that's all, not keyless go (that would be some undertaking!) so there won't be any greater risk of the car being stolen

The round plug on the pump is what actives the lock/unlock, but, it operates a little like a house light where there are two switches for the same light, so there isn't an "un-lock" and a "lock" wire

Open the fuse box lid on the driver's side under bonnet and pull the ECU out, pretty much that easy

Rare old engines those now, I don't have one at the moment, sorry

Are you sure it's not coming in from the rear and leaking forward?

These cars really aren't fast. I had a 250se a few years ago, I cannot remember the top cruising speed, but it was somewhere in the region of what you said, maybe 65, they rev really high but will do that all day

It's all about the car. I often only end up keeping a car for a year, or less, but it always leaves my ownership in much better condition than I bought it in, but on paper my short ownership will be off-putting for some.

I know you said the relay is new, but if you pull the plug off it, is there any oil in there?

I sold my SEC and the SL is up for sale!
