new to W140 - pleased to introduce
howdy folks:
i am new to the W140 S 320 1995
my first experiences are going to be changing the rear window regulators
wish me luck
Now - any words of advice for the A/C system- I am well versed in the W123 woes - any advice I can get on the W140 - where to go for rebuilds or upgrades
thanks y'all

The AC system in the W140
, Dont ask. If the core goes bad then the entire dash must be removed.
As for teh rest of the car, well they seem to be a mixed bag, some good and some bad. If you have a bad one then everything that can break will, like mine
. But these are amazing cars and once you iron out all the kinks they will go and go, this guy the other day was saying that his engine blew when the car had over 300,000 miles on it
Good Luck

Gobi, My guess is you have a great car. #1 Rule - TLC then drive it proud.

PS - shop around for parts, prices are all over the place so don't just give up due to cost. Parts are out there.
