C280 Wire harness
I need to replace the wire harness on my '95 C280. Is this something that can be done by an average DIY? How long would it take a competent MB mechanic? That way, I'll just double my time. Also, are the replacement wire harnesses of better quality and therefore should last longer than the original?

yes you should be able to do it yourself.
the new ones are fixed and mint and wont stuff out on you
and in exchange for this help you have to post up a pic of your car!

Thanks a ton. Very helpful information. I just have to get over the fear of screwing something up big time on the car, before I try something like this. I'll work on getting a photo of the car on the site. It's just a stock '95 C280 (with dirty alloys right now).

IMHO THE ABOVE AVERAGE DIY COULD TACKLE A JOB LIKE THIS. DO YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF 12 v SYSTEMS, A LOT IS PLUG IN, BUT IT IS NOT AS EASY AS THE C202 BOARD INDICATED. BUT THAT'S IS MY OPINION, A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL TRY TO FIX THINGS AND RUN INTO A GLICTCH THAT NO ONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE AND THEN THE PROBLEMS START.

I don't have experience with 12v systems, but it can't be that hard if it's basically plugs. My fear is taking something off/apart that I don't know how to put back together. There's always the tow truck option to the mechanic!

RE: C280 Wire harness
When I start taking things apart on my car, I have my digital camera and take pcitures of the disassembly and refer back to them when I put it back together. But then there are some parts that are not meant to be "taken" and you have to buy a new one. So, if you think you can handle this job go ahea.
