  1. It is essential to equilibrate the velocity. 7kW units are generally ineffective, while a solitary 150kW unit would also be suboptimal. A handful of 50kW units operating at 80% efficiency during your shopping would be ideal.
  2. This is really helpful information for me, so thank you very much. The wheels were cleaned with a jet washer two days prior to my attempt to drive the car, but I was unable to do so because the handbrake was stuck! Since it happened the other day, I haven't attempted to move the car. Tomorrow, I plan to take a hammer to it and gently drive it backward and forwards to see if that helps. Nonetheless, this must be deliberate. The inside of the drum must have become rusted from water intrusion. Everything you've done to assist me is greatly appreciated. After I examine the vehicle, I will provide an update to everyone on this thread.
  3. Hello everyone, I am having trouble getting the car to move when I release the hand brake lever. I think it's probably just one corner where the shoes are stuck because the car dips at the back in one corner when I try to start it. But it's stuck so firmly that the vehicle won't move. As a first step, could someone tell me what I can do to try to identify the problem's origin? My ability to attempt a self-repair depends on the nature of the problem. Despite the fact that it may be difficult to remove the drum...It would be great if there was a way to release the hand brake first, so I could take it the half-mile distance to the garage to get it fixed right. I am grateful.
  4. The rear suspension design is essentially derived from the WRX, which accounts for its significant anti-squat characteristics and an unpredictable rear end.
  5. The inquiry was directed toward the original poster.
  6. Do not consider the Mercedes primary dealership as your final option; instead, prioritise them as your initial choice. This will enable you to ascertain the price of an item from them. Occasionally, you may find yourself pleasantly astonished (I concede, not frequently), yet it remains an excellent point of departure. 👍
  7. Cracks in the suspension arms are an ever-present possibility. It seems like the front arms are aluminium and the control arm is cast iron.

  9. Indeed, I am concerned that once he departs, the 1962 250 GTO (which was recently valued at approximately £50 million) will no longer be visible to the public and will most certainly not be placed on someone's lawn so that the general public can examine it closely, just like I was able to do a few years ago.
  10. To get to his residence on two wheels, park at the Corsham CoOp and pedal over.

  12. Be aware, as I indicated a year ago, the traffic on the Bath road, the only way to reach Middle Wick Lane, is becoming worse during this time of year. The other day, I was driving through that area when I noticed AA "yellow" signs alerting drivers of the heavy traffic. By the McDonald's on the bypass, I even noticed more displayed further down the road. Reason being, the area's bypasses are undergoing a tremendous amount of road construction. Since there is only one route to enter Nick's house and one way to leave, through his neighbor's private land, I am unsure of how they will enforce this. It is my sincere hope that no one will miss this event, so I urge everyone to arrive early on Saturday. It would be unfortunate if this event had to be rescheduled because of how popular it is. You may always spend the weekend at Nick's place and then head a little distance to the Cherished vehicle exhibition on Sunday.
  13. Have you attempted a gearbox reset? If so, how exactly is it damaged? Although I am not familiar with the costs, I am sure that a new gearbox would not be too expensive. After all, many people have done just that, and they have kept on going strong.
  14. Doesn't every service work include the replacement of sump bolts according to MB manufacturer policy? Is it a good idea to get new bolts if the old ones seize or peel easily?
