Never seen a wheel "upgrade" that didn't look worse than the originals, maybe
with the exception of using MB wheels on a VW Vanagon.
Proportions are just wrong for these wheels on that car. Looks like they would
be rubbing on hard turns as well.

I had oil cooler line on my 220D fail suddenly and yes the oil changes are
messy.

If the flex disk have never been done, or are showing cracking, better do them
sooner than later. You don't want one of those coming apart underway.
In my experience the oil cooler hoses give plenty of warning and do not just
suddenly burst. That is based on my W123 though.

On Mon, Nov
I remember doing the front subframe mounts on a W114. Not the easiest job, but
the results were well worth it each time. Amazing how much quieter the car is
afterwards.

I don't have any real experience with newer Mercedes but I do like my
car. I am looking at all the rubber bits and wondering how many of them
I should be replacing and what is most urgent. I have obtained but not
yet installed the front subframe mounts and the flex disks for the
driveshaft as
"They don't make 'em like they used to!"

Your experience with the W115 mirrors mine - I had three of them over the
years. I always put the front end up on stands as high as I could get it to
make it easier to deal with the filter housing. I missed removing the old
o-ring once, put a new one on the housing - and found out that it doesn't
Back when the kid was driving a 210 many times he pushed the radiator
into the fan. Well it happened to me I guess. The other day I took the
99 out to the back 40 to check on things. Pulling back up by the shop
there is a low spot which I hit and has a slight bump. Did not think
much about
Yes, I believe you. When you loosen off the bolt holding the filter
housing on, oil comes out all over it, even if the sump has already been
drained.
I do think that it would be easier to re-install the filter housing if I
could stand under it and push it up into the hole. I really cannot see
Even on a lift you get oil all over.
My friend Hans used to complain about it all the time.

Just had a chance to watch this and see the opening for the converter is off to
the side instead of at the bottom of the bell housing. Makes draining the
converter normally a pain and very messy.

Yes, I try to change it late in the fall since I don't drive it during
the winter. For years I put it away on Halloween because my insurance
ran out then. I would switch it to storage insurance for the winter and
put full insurance back on in the spring once the roads were cleaned of
winter
I thought every 6 months regardless of driving habits.

of paper towels or pile of shop towels handy.
Small price to pay since you only do it once a year, right?

It’s been many years since I have changed the oil in a 115 but I usually end up
with oil all down my arm. Not fun.

Yesterday afternoon I decided I should change the oil on the car before
I store it for the winter. We are supposed to start getting more
seasonal temperatures by the end of the week which means it will be
fairly cool here. This past weekend was nice and today is nice with a
current temperature
Cool, be sure to report on how well this works, it will be interesting.
Be careful about the pressure, as there is the possibility you might blow
something out in the process. Even at less than 10 psi it should push fluid out
pretty quickly. I watched the video on the tool vendor’s web site for
good idea, I'll be looking for one
