Is it an authentic AMG 400?

The second set of knobs for the back doors was just installed. Despite not being covered by warranty, the last pair was installed at no cost to the customer. They said it was a design flaw and repaired it when I reported it two years ago. That is plainly not the case.

Also 👌

The owner clearly knows what it's like to have unscrupulous individuals show up and take advantage of the car for sale. Lots of useful advice for anyone planning to sell autos in the future.

As long as you maintain the 6,000-mile service and change the oil and filter regularly, your vehicle will run like new.

On a budget? Just use 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 grit sandpaper to smooth it off and cover the doors with BMW stripe M decals. For around £200-£250, which includes an electric pressure paint gun that connects to the wall outlet, you could spray wrap the entire thing if you're comfortable with that kind of thing. I get my spray wrap paint from a business called Matt-Pack, by the way. Go ahead and search "DIP YOUR CAR" on YouTube if you're feeling adventurous and want to see some spray wrapping. Spray wrapping is a relatively easy technique that I've been doing for a few years now. Once you have the equipment and are skilled at it, your friends will want you to change the colour of their motor.

It might be wise for you to contact NASA 😂. In my opinion, your issue is much above our area of competence 😂.

You should probably start by contacting the dealer who installed it.

On my 2002 E53, I experienced issues with the belts not retracting. He couldn't believe it when he tested it on an M8s belt after finding an idea online; he was even more amazed when it worked on another belt. After you fully extend the belt and lightly spritz it with this, feed it in and out; it should begin to function. Your apparel will also remain unmarked.

The intended appearance and where to buy the paint are shown below. But if that doesn't work, there are many of excellent sites like www.madpaints.co.uk that just require your registration.

You can find your build sticker in the spare tyre well.

40d= two turbochargers

Yeah, I'm aware they have an x3 and an x5, and I'd be surprised if there was much of a difference in fuel efficiency between the two.

you may expect to have to go into the nitty-gritty of things if your autos start acting up. No one will know what to do first as owners. And I intend to join their ranks.. Now you could even appreciate our presence on the forum, I believe. A Mercedes from 2006 or later would be perfectly OK. Good luck! Just make sure it's compatible with E10 before you run it.

My current W124 is the second one I've had; the first was a one-owner [cousin] vehicle. The quality of the W123 was superior to that of my W124.This E10 ethanol fuel deadline in September is another item to consider at this time. This is going to wreak havoc on all these older vehicles, including Mercedes. The injection system has a lot of rubber components, and some of them may deteriorate and break down over time.They often behave in this manner after prolonged usage of E5 gasoline. Modern rubber is much more durable than the kind of rubber used in the 1980s.

Regarding your decision to buy a W123 as your primary vehicle. These vehicles are more than 40 years old, so keep that in mind first. That being said, the W 123 is undeniably a top-tier Mercedes-Benz. Some of the critical components, meanwhile, are becoming more elusive, so keep that in mind. Because certain goods are not available anymore, I would assume that you will have to take a break from driving at some point to wait for a part or another. However, if you are really set on purchasing a W123, it must be a pristine, one-owner vehicle with very few miles on the odometer. This is not your average W123. Any vintage Mercedes in this condition will fetch a pretty penny. Therefore, I will wish you well and hope that you pursue your passion.

It is surprising that you have not heard of them.

The initial step is to utilise a high-quality breaker bar equipped with the appropriate socket. Ensure the vehicle is securely positioned on the ground to prevent the wheels from rotating. If that fails, applying penetrating oil and exerting consistent pressure typically proves effective. Avoid abrupt movements; a calm and controlled approach is optimal.

It appears that this matter requires consultation with Toyota Technical. Has the dealer initiated a case with them? 🤔

Your situation will improve—progressing positively, with additional minis to be preserved!
