1987 300e
First mb!
Just picked up my first mercedes. Ive been in love with this body style for years! Its a 1987 and has 118k and is pretty mint. It does have a few issues. The antenna doesnt go up or down. It does have a aftermarket radio. The rear headrests dont retract. Its got a small coolant leak on passenger side by resovoir. Looks like some sort of valve. Any help on tips and maint is much appreciated!

Out Of Control!!
The only thing I would suggest is that you spend time researching all the systems on the car--like your antenna, it's apart of a system and you want to learn the components of that system which will help you diagnose why the antenna does not function---rather than posting---"whats wrong with my antenna"
Try and find a manual and then try and find someone in town that understands the older MB's they are very difficult to diagnose without the older test equipment. Good Luck

Mercedes 300E
Looks like a nice car with the body kit & parts. Any closer pics of those? Interior pics too would be great.
Common problem is the antenna they get stuck with age. Change all your fuses first before doing anything else. Did you buy the car from a dealer?
