Its like a high maintenance girl friend, my car want treats all the time and only drinks exspensive booze (premium) . And then there is the wash, wax, vaccum, and leather protector for all her makeup and healthspa weekends. Yep that what it is a high maintenance girl friend.

Well this is the thing I almost think that it is down to blind luck, I had my car looked over by two different shops before I got it and then all of a sudden a cascade of problems, I almost wounder if it is not the cold down here up north I never had to have anything done to it. There are people on here and Benz World that have 1998 and 99 W140s that have heaps of problems and then there are people who own 1992 600SELs and say they have never had any isses so go figure :confuzed:. I think the best you can do is try and get a good one.

How would someone go about retro fitting the new style clear tail lights on a 1993 300se? Or dose it just fit with no fiddling. The only place i see a problem is the locking mechanism in the middle for unlocking the trunk.
