Hello again..Just wondering if anyone can help me on a couple of things (i posted this a few days ago but got no replies...please help...). I have recently aquired a 1975 w116 350 se saloon. I was wondering what the fuel consumption of a car this age and size would be? At the moment it's roughly 15 mpg ... is this right? Would a tune up help? Can anyone recommend any other adjustments that would make a difference? Also there is a noisy ticking sound coming from the top end of the engine..... could this be the tappits or worse the cam shaft??
Any info on this model would be appreciated ... Thanks all.....
