MB World Wiki Thread

Earlier today I made the announcement that MB World now has a wiki. In case you missed the announcement, read it here

What I would like to see in this thread is two things:

1)Your feedback on who is the guru of this model section. What I would like to see is the usernames of the 1 -2 people you look to for technical information about this model of MB. We would like to recruit them to help us in populating the information in the wiki.

2)Requests for items you would like to see added to the wiki.

I would say alx is one of the most technical guys.

It would be great to see the many different DIYs added to the wiki. There needs to be a way to update them though. My DIY on trim replacement is a good example of why. I got the basic DIY going and then a number of members added to it to make it better and more complete.

Thank you. I wish some times there were more folks willing to share what they know. I understand that some of that knowledge is achieved via lots of blood, money and gore, but some times the unwillingness to share just rubs me the wrong way. Often there are questions posted with obvious answers that stay unanswered for a while. And I know there at least half a dozen folks here that are more than capable of answering.

In my mind most of the tuning specialist sponsors here are very technical, but I am not sure how willing they will be to share their knowledge for free.

I try to help out, but I have no real technical knowledge. Most of the stuff I answer is either because I already had that break or I read about it in the past on the forum. A lot of stuff i pick up is from trolling the E55/E63 forum.
