THE_Liam's Mercedes thread - New Benz!

[THE_Liam]

Still massively happy with this, but it may have some head gasket issues - very, very tempted to get rid and get a 2.6 auto

the 2.6 isn't that impressive, my old man had a 2.6 manual with factory fitted cosworth kit and suspension fitted, had it from new and swapped it for some carpets for in my house!! I was gutted, youd be better off getting the 2.5 d and swappin the rods n fuel pump and manifold n turbo for big diesel powered smiles!!!

Nah the 2.6 is awesome in my book, silky smooth, flat torque curve, usually high spec, and pretty quick with 166bhp in 1200kg. Wouldn't really want a diesel in one of these, and doing all that work would cost more than just living with 25mpg...
