just picked up my S600, but have a few problems, please help
Guys,
I recently picked up a 92 600sel and is loving every minute of it. The car runs relatively good, but just a few minor headaches here and there. I know you guys are experts here so I hope you may shed some light on me.
1) the car runs smooth and quiet all the way thru speeds, except between 80-100km/h. Then the car seems to rattle/shake a bit. Once i past 100, it runs smooth again. Is this normal? it shouldn't be i dont think. Anyone have ideas why?
2) when driving, the passenger side side mirror rattles and makes it hard to concentrate on what i'm looking at. When the car is started but not moving, the mirror is fine. However, as the speed of the car increases, the shaking gets worse, perhaps it's a loose screw somewhere?
3) when driving and braking hard, the drivers seat tends to "lift up" or shift forward a little bit. Then when the car is stopped, the seat would sorta "fall back" into place. Its' not a BIG shift, but enough for me to notice. Ideas?
4) last problem is actually the most annoying. THe "burnt lightbulb" light would randomly turn on once in a while, mostly at night when the instrument cluster is lit. It would go on, then turn off, randomly at random intervals. When i look at all the lights, i ONCE saw the headlight not go on, but then i turned off the car and turned it back on, and the headlight worked again. So i really can't tell which bulb could be burnt. Any idea how to check?
Thank you and hope to hear your advice
