$500 worth of fluids, filters, belts, plugs, wipers, you name it I got it, plus new lower balljoints all going in tomorrow am. Going to fix the random bulb failures as well as the rear sunshade. That should hold me for another 60k mi! I only went 1300 miles over the service interval, oh well.

Hopefully, my sunroof parts will arrive this week as it is supposed to rain next week here in Dallas.

Sounds like you got a decent deal there. we have a 01 E320 w/ app. 100K miles as well in the family, and it runs better than my TL.

mb fanatic ur car list is very nice selection

i bought a 97 E420 w/ 100k miles and did just about every fluid replacement there is. ATF alone cost me $90.. ouch! but sure beats going to the dealer

If so good to see you around again.......I'm ALEV8!

yup that's me!!

your name sounds familiar, though i cant quite remember your ride.. didnt you have a really tricked out 540?? nice to see ya here!! i really want to learn to do a lot more DIY stuff on my MB but these MB boards are slower than the bimmer boards..

Yeah I had the super tricked black 540, then the M5, now the E430 and it is not a DIY crowd on par with the E39 boys.......I am still in touch with RevHigh, Tyrone and Dan Karr, even play golf weekly with Grumpy these days. Had a nice round today. Won $6 off him.

Nice cars though these Benzes.

i live in dallas too. just wondering where you get your service done at. maybe we can help each other out. arnoldboon@yahoo.com

u kno this was the first car I ever managed to change the spark plugs without the help of a mechanic and the feeling alone itself was great

BTW does anyone here know what is done at a 130'000 KM Service?? Coz I've had the car for around 6 months and I haven't changed the transmission fluid yet
