I've C/P'ed this from another forum I posted on. Yesterday I became the proud owner of a 1985 190E mk2 Mercedes Benz. It's had a LOT of work done to it recently including refurbished alloys, whole new paint job, an attempt to make it look Cosworth-esque, replaced head, new exhaust and millions more. I'll get round to posting a comprehensive list of the work done. Anyway, I'm Stephen, I'm 20 years of age, I'm from Fife, Scotland and I love my new motor. I've found this site useful already (having had a quick browse) and look forward to contributing and benefiting from this forum Anyway, here's a few photos, let me know what you think. The missing wheelcaps are now on, for anyone with an eye for detail! I'm going to give it a proper polish and what not today before taking anymore photos, these are the ones that I saw before I went to buy the car, really don't do it justice at all!    And here are the photos I took myself (attached), not great, hoping to get a few better examples!         A few little niggles have came up, if this is all that's wrong with the car, for the price I paid I'm more than happy, but I want to fix them regardless: 1. The window wiper seems to "stall" on occassion. 2. When indicating, one of them (left I *think*, I'll double check) doesn't come up on the dash - but the lights are working on the outside perfectly. 3. I feel a bit daft here as I don't know if it's me not being able to figure out how to turn them on or if they actually don't work, but, the dash lights don't seem to work. I think I've tried all the obvious things but to no success. Can anyone confirm how these are supposed to come on? I thought it was the little knobs at the front of the dash - but those seem to be for changing the clock and resetting the odometer? Anyway, are these all related through one of the fuses? Or have I just got three seperate problems on my hands?! The wiper is okay, but it just seems to stick sometimes before moving like it should. It's better when its on fast - infact it doesn't do it, but if I do it once it seems to hesitate mid way. The indicator light is annoying if nothing else. And the dash lights are a must fix for me as I'm surrounded by speed cameras and do a lot of night driving. I've upgraded from a BMW Compact 1.6 so I feel like I'm doing 50 when I'm going 80 in the Merc! Any ideas or confirmations much appreciated! |
