Memorial Day weekend is out for me, as I'm already committed...(ha ha)... 
Most
of July I'll be on the road in the RV, heading towards South Dakota with a 
few
stops along the way in Chicago, maybe Detroit, KC, St. Louis, etc. so that 
month
is out. So I guess if early May is out, then June is the best month? 
Saturday
might be better if we are thinking of the "after drive party" rather than
Sunday, especially if some folks are coming down from further away and 
needing
to stay overnight. So the 3rd, 10th, 17th or 24th. Just my 2 cents...

Thanks Axel and Hirsch,

My first stop was my local MB guys who were not able to assist, my piece is
actually cracked so refurbishment is not an option.

I will try my office in South Africa (they seem to have quite a collection
there of MB parts).

If successful I will report back.

Regards to all,

Mark

I am afraid I can't be of help directly, but if I am not mistaken, I think
I have come across something about this in the mbcoupes archives somewhere.
I know I shouldn't really place any attachments, but it is very small. Would
this be the 5th pin you are talking about by any chance?

Thanks guys - that's great - along with Vance's and Malcolm's comments - it
looks like I can get the old CDs working without dragging an old PC back
into the house. 

Just as a matter of interest - I switched to individual mail list downloads
rather than the daily digest and these two responses (and only these two)
went to that place that I don't check (you know - where my multiple millions
of dollars worth of lottery wins go every day). Blowed if I can figure out
how some of these PC rules work!

Thanks again for the help.

Ian

Since you are using the 500 ignition and fuel systems, the early 500 EZL 
won't have that functionality for the transmission quickshift will it?

Also, you'll have a hole on the bell housing for the CPS - may need to block

that off as the early 500 ignition system does not have that there.

Members,

I am not a computer genius nor am I willing to work towards becoming one
however I have written a couple of emails about selling a couple of my SEC's
(2-white, 2-black) and have merely had a single response.

Should any one be interested in one of them please email me at
drmet at pacbell.net or better yet call me at 714-546-1403, 714-465-3348 or my
cell at 714-742-0605. With the price of the body parts going to the moon, a
solid no BS car that is worthy of a true SEC addicts attention is easily
worth more than the current cost of the hood, fenders, grill, front lights,
bumper, radiator, fans etc. in raw unpainted condition. If you are
interested let me know.

I have also asked why we (as current subscribers) cannot get our cars on the
web site.
I know it is egotistical but heck why do we own them except for others to
appreciate.

Let me know about getting my cars on the web site.

Doc

Hi Peter,

With you living in Sarasota, I don't know if you would have the full advantage 
of using the Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40. In fact there is a whole debate in the 
mbcoupes archives on using fully synthetic or not on the W126. I can only go off 
what I have read up myself and my own experience using fully synthetic. The only 
downside I can see is that it is very expensive. However from my own experience 
and my way of thinking is if the viscosity is lower on start-up, then the oil 
pressure would build up a lot faster protecting the engine sooner. Also, I can't 
say for certain, but I could swear that I have a few more HP than I did before I 
started using fully synthetic. Thanks for the compliment though.

Cheers,
Vance.
1991 Euro 560 SEC.

Dear Vance: I own an 89 560 sec, 113k miles, and a 91 560 sec, 34k. Both cars 
had service records indicating they used 10w-30 castrol. I have been using 
synthetic in my street machines for years. However, I have not changed the 126's 
over. Sounds like you know your lubricants. What do you think about changing to 
the Shell Helix? I live in Sarasota. Thanks for your advice. Peter Weiss

Mike,
Engine lubricants have advanced and improved in performance a great deal since 
the owners manuals for these cars were written up.One of the best lubricants I 
have come accross and used for years in my Euro 560SEC is the Shell Helix Ultra 
5W-40 fully synthetic lubricant. This particular one exceeds the requirements of 
most cars these days. Also this particular one is approved by Mercedes Benz 
themselves as well as Peugeot-Citroen, Rover Group, VW/Audi, BMW, Porsche and 
Ferrari.
