New to the forum here and just got my first Mercedes last month. It's not new by any means, nor is it particularly attractive. I got an '82 300 CDT that comes with all the classic issues. I already fixed the B2 piston and got that out of the way. It's amazing how I previously took it for granted that a car should go forward when you stomp the long skinny pedal on the right. Either way, I'm sure I'll be in and out of the tech columns as my wallet allows. I don't possess any particularly unique skills. I've been a fair mechanic for a long time and am currently working as a professional translator.

I also have in my garage:
1952 BMW R51/3
1964 Norton Atlas
1972 Yamaha R5
1972 Yamaha XS-2
1974 Kawasaki S-3
1977 BMW R75/7
1977 Suzuki GS-750
1982 Honda 70 Passport - patiently waiting for the 110cc and supercharger conversion.
1979 MG Midget

 

Hey bro,

Welcome to the forum. Very few are experts. We often learn better from others' experiences, and that's what makes this board special, because the lot of us are Benz Enthusiasts. So, welcome amongst us.
