If it looks like pictures of horns, it is to  switch between "city" and 
"country" horns. Too the horn briefly, then hit the  switch, then toot the horn 
again, and you should hear a  difference.

I am preparing my '91 560  sec, black over maroon / AMG 18's , 105k,  
for sale.  I am not  mechanically inclined or have the time to learn to 
keep it as nice as it  is now as the miles add up.  Runs fine.   Waiting 
for some  decent weather and time to clean it up a little a nd take pics 
first  before going to ebay, not a garage queen though,  just a daily  
driver. Will be asking under  $ 10k when ready.  Car in eastern  Ohio.  
Certainly favor interested forum members .

Howdy folks,
The  Southwest meet sounds great...I think I would drive to Vegas if the 
timing  was right....September would be out for me because that's the month 
of the  Monterey Jazz Festival's Fifty year Anniverary and they are having a 
great  show.
Keep me posted.

I'm sorry, I don't. If you drive south from Easton  on Route 611and then
follow Route 32 along the Delaware River., you'll see  it on the river side
of the road. It's a great Weekend drive anyway, so  take the SEC. Ottsville
is a little hamlet. The garage was a car  dealership, and has big windows
facing the road.

> Hi Everybody,

> I would like to present a  different perspective on a topic raised a few

weeks ago. A person was  trying to decide if he should repair his existing
560SEC or buy another one  for $5k with less mileage. The consensus was
either sell his and buy the  other one or buy and keep both.

> My '90 560SEC has 177k of HARD  miles on it. It is my daily driver and I

have driven it to places and on  job sites that would make you cringe (me
too on reflection and I should  have told my former employer where to go).
It had finally gotten to the  point where I could no longer hold off on
getting my valve guides &  seals done and repairing a broken sunroof rail.
So I bit the bullet and  drove the car almost 3 hours to a shop somebody on
this site recommended in  the LA area. They test drove the car and this is
what they came up with in  addition to the valves and sunroof: leaking
radiator, 1 fuel pump leaking,  idler control arm bushing (cause of my front
end creak) and gas door vacuum  element (what fun when running on empty and
your gas door solenoid won't  fully engage). The total cost for all this,
including tax, is around  $5,300. I also had to rent a car for 3 weeks (just
my luck the afternoon  before I brought it in a Jag was towed in needing the
heads done so I lost  a few d ay

tensioner have around 30k on them.

all the  maintenance records etc. or am I better off making the repairs to a
car  that once the repairs are made I know what I have got. I still need  to
figure out why the AC belt keeps shredding but once this is done, all  I
have left is some body work and a new paint job and some leather  repair.
Frankly, I think the wiser choice is to go with what I have and  know.
Comments?

> I know this is a MB site, but if there are  any fans of the old Volvo

P1800 out there, the new C30 is awesome..not  available in the US yet. I
drove a Turbo Diesel 5 speed (all nomenclature  and digital readouts were in
Swedish)..great pickup, solid suspension and  this thing was getting 62mpg
hwy driving. It didn't meet CA emissions so  Volvo won't sell it in the US
yet. Gas version should be out first. I'm  6'2" 245 pounds and the seat felt
good with enough legroom.

I saw the car recently at our Long Boat  Key get together and can say that 
this car is pristine in every way. The  engine looked clean enough to serve 
dinner on. I was shocked when Joe told me  how many miles are on it. The car truly 
looks like less than 50K. I believe he  has even won a few concours with 
it.Jay

If you are looking for an  exceptional 560SEC, youll
have to look outside your backyard. I looked at  32
SECs before I found this one. If you want a nice car
thats next door,  maybe you might try to find something
a little newer where a selection of  quality cars would
be more widespread. Just a  suggestion.

I have an 87 as well.  What does the  switch look like?  I assume you mean 
the 2 switches by the ashtray?   If memory serves me, isn't that where the

I would like to buy an owner's hand book for a  1985/6 420 SEC (a 500 or 560 
would probably do)
I want to read up on  the general things applicable to my car. The two big 
shop manuals I have  don't give ordinary information (such as an illustration 
of the console  explaining what the controls do.)
Has anyone got one for sale,  please?

Hi  Jack,

I don't have one for sale (I guess you better register a  "favourite  
search" on eBay for
that one) but I just thought I'd  tell you that there is, in fact,  
only one owners handbook  that
covers all 420/500/560 SE/SEL/SEC models. However, they did bring  out  
a new one to cover the post 1986
models, but the 420SEC only  came out in 1986, so it should cover you.

The 420SEC is very rare, I've  never seen one in South Africa. (then  
again, so are  most
post-1986 models) - by far the most common around here are  pre-1986  
380SEC and 500SEC.
(most easily spotted by their  smaller, "ribbed" lower side panels and  
smaller  bumpers)

Dawid
1990 560SEC

Mercedes seems to protect their bodies quite well  with cavity wax & 
underbody coatings,but in my experiance if there is  a minute flaw,the steel 
seems to rust with a vengance.If my old Rover (SD1  1979)or the GM Commodore 
I used to own gets a scratch or stone chip it  just seems to surface rust 
lightly and stays that way
For  example I was underneath the car adjusting the modulator,when I 
noticed a  brown stain on the bottom door rail locating the rubber 
moulding,(being  white is definatly a plus when detecting rust).
Removing the seal exposed  the rust that had been"festering away"and what 
initially looked to be  surface turned out to be perforated requiring steel 
to be welded  in.

In typical Mercedes style the whole bottom section is  a series of 
compound curves and indentations obviously to give strenght  but is a 
challenge to manufacture
steel patch pieces.Having made a new  rail ,and a piece for behind the 
rubber,I was fortunate to have a friend  who is an expert welder and was able 
to do the job without removing the  door.
I am going to try a lanolin based rust treatment for  inside of the door 
as the cavity wax appears to shrink and develop  hairline cracks in high 
temperatures after a while.
Hopefully this is the last rust discovery,I hate looking for something I  
don't want to find.


Kind  Regards  Dan Gardner 1986 560 SEC(euro 220kw)

Jack, the attachments will  probably be stripped out of the "MBCoupes
