  The hole to loosen the control arm nut (WD40) is straight on the front side of the bumper, right above the plastic "scratch" block, you can use a extended tool and insert there, and apply great force easy.. to tighten it should work from the holes above the control arm. Unpleasant thing is that, altough it can be done with partially removing clips and bolts of the bumper, but better is take it completely off, if theres no choice.

  Honestly I´ve been a huge fan of us cars for all my live - the Jaguar (and also my E-Class) just "happened" to me when I grew older. In the 80s, as a kid, I cut out adverts of the "bustleback" (2nd gen) and the downsized 3rd gen Seville, which were so special compared to my dad´s Ford Taunus and all the other European cars of that era. Of course I ended up with neither of those but one equipped with the infamous Northstar V8. However, I´don´t regret it and maybe there will be a collection of all 5 Seville generations one day...

  @@AUTOdidact77 I always liked the German V8 sedans , growing up in Romania those were the dream cars. The first car I ever drove ,after getting my license , was a W124. That’s when I fell in love with Mercedes. In 2003 , a neighbor had a friend over and that guy was driving the newly released Jaguar S-Type. When I saw that car I said one day I’ll have one. In 2004 I moved to the States and in 2007 I bought a 2004 Jaguar S-Type 4.2 When it comes to American cars , I like the 1978 Cadillac Coupe Deville, some older Chevy trucks and of course their huge station wagons 😁 Anyway, depending on the condition probably you can have all 5 generations.

• 
  @AUTOdidact77Ай бұрын

  Over there (in the US), I could have acquired 4th or 5th gen Sevilles almost for free - they´re considered junk because of their engine. On the other hand mine has as-new interior which is really hard to find and was the reason I "had" to go for it (even though I have no special affinity towards the 5th gen besides it being the last). I´ve been inside two older Mercedes (W123 and W124) as a kid - both were taxis (and Diesels), the first much louder than my dad´s Ford, the second impressively quite (obviously a 5-cylinder). Never experienced a Mercedes V8 prior to my own though...

  Hi there, would like to seek your opinion about owning an A150. Is it worth buying a used 2005 A150 with 100k km mileage? Any general main issues that I need to be aware of when viewing/testing the car before deciding whether to buy it or not? Is it difficult to find car parts or engine parts for this 2005 A150 nowadays? Thanks.

  I have the W212 chassis with the same engine. In order to have the max on the dipstick, I had to put 9.5 litters. What is your oil capacity to Max?

• 
  @AUTOdidact773 ай бұрын

  Honestly I always stop halfway between min and max, otherwise the engine can easily be overfilled due to oil dilution (fuel or water). This equals the "official" capacity of 8.5 l btw. Some oil always remains in the engine, so I always end up adding 8.2 or 8.3 l. If your total capacity is 9.5 l, mine will be as well.
