I've driven one & can confirm the gearbox is indeed sh*t - Thanks for reading.

Megane.

Awesome

You had sun?

Very nice, Merc are really building some lovely cars of late.

Lovely

HAHA I haven't personally seen anyone manage that yet.

Ok mate cheers, just wondering as there has been a fair amount of flooding around here lately (i've not driven through any deep enough) but don't want any getting in.

Anyone know if the 197/200's have Gearbox breathers/venting to the box?

I have driven one, they have grown on me a bit, still couldn't work out the difference between the models though. Asked the salesman if it was actually the RS, he then went round the front of the car to check himself haha. Other than that, the interior is a fair bit better than old & the engine...

Good luck welding one back in unless you can find one that's been cut out with sleeves attached to the silencer. Some have tried, I'm sure you could get it on, but not sure on how good of a job it'd be.

I got two tins of tyre spunk & a jack with mine. Not that it's much use without a spare. P.S. If the centre silencer has been removed it'll be pretty obvious looking underneath.

I've got a jack with mine, aware many didn't.

When you say it can't have done that much damage. I'd imagine your engine oil looks like marmite. Probably worth flushing IMO.

If it's got no air filter, get one in asap! & change the oil!

Parked in the industrial estate, see it most days.

Thats the cup spoiler mate not the GT.

Welcome. Pics of your 200?

Amazing. Hope this escalates

Awesome

Assuming that you mean you plan to remove the filter box (thus removing the filter). Incredibly silly idea. If you mean remove the housing and replace with an aftermarket induction (thus keeping filtration). Not such a silly idea, but can't see you gaining much other than noise.

/\ Yep. Only managed -8 in mine.

Lovely, lovely car mate. You've got it spot on!

Thanks for the explanation Neil.

I've never got this. People use their cars for everything for the most part. Asking what you use it for seems a bit silly IMO (it's a car, it gets driven to places). I don't know many people that solely use a car for social. Nor just to get to work.

Much more common for them to have less power than more from what I've seen. & as above.

Been for sale for a long time that one in the link above.

Would feel like a plank driving it. But I respect all the work that's gone in to it.

Remove the accoustic valve fittings & move it out the way. Take off battery cover & fuse cover & that'll give you a fair bit more room to operate. Then it's just a case of removing the rubber cover from the back of the lamp & pulling the wire out of the rear of the bulb.
