Just replaced my old 1988 500sel with 1993 s420limo/400sel and very pleased. But there are two niggles that I hope someone can help with...
1 The aircon works for 10-15 mins then stops cooling. Is there a simple test to see what the cause is?
2 When pulling away from a standstill it seems like the car accelerates quicker on part-throttle rather than full-throttle. The engine seems very flat below 2500 rpm then pulls strongly up to thte red-line. Is this a feature of the 420? My old 500 pulled strong at all points through the rev range.
I'd go to the dealer in Oxford but they're quoting a 5 week lead time for servicing!
Many thanks,
Cliff.
PS What is the key difference between a 400sel and s420 limo?
