W124 Coupe M103 3.0; ML500 W164;W208 CLK230K (Evo)
Hi all
Hi guys,
Not sure why it took me so long to join.
I've been hooked to older Benzes for over 10 years now, started with a w210 2.5TD , then I owned another w210 3.2CDI (which is now my dad's car).In the meantime I acquired a w208 CLK230 for my wife and my precious w124 pre-facelift coupe, which started its life as a 2.0 liter M102 which I had swapped with an M103 last January. Latest addition is a 2006 ML500 which I own for about an year now. I've owned one Opel and one BMW in the meantime - both died due to coolant issues unfortunately.
Dream additions to the fleet would be w126 500SEC and a w123 coup.
I love cars but I never learned to work on them, relying on mechanics mostly. I've started to fancy the idea to do DYI and I've been doing small stuff, like my first oil change alone and etc. and twice two-port valves.
Got a second hand STAR to diagnose stuff on the W210 as it had issues when I acquired it, so I like to mingle with that tool and learn its capabilities too.

Thanks guys, today the upload worked. Need to take a picture of the CLK, but here are pictures of the W124 and the ML. The W124 is now with new rims - moved to the Aero 2 wheels which I like much more (hopefully one day I can get an Aero 1 too).
