A blocked idle jet can often cause them to hunt, assuming this flavour has one.

The 6.9 is good but I prefer the earlier 300 SEL 6.3.
A proper cold war Merc.
I imagine Jay Leno would be a great bloke to share a pint with.
Mark knopfler for musicality.

Do they come with thier own fuel tanker?
I drove one many years ago, didnt realise they were 6.9 Litre, had a play eacelerating using the cruise control and I swear I daw the fuel gauge drop. :'(
We did a lot of fancy little staircases for student flats at the Uni about 30 years ago. Probably been replaced by something else by now.
Didn't have fancy staircases when I was there, just a dodgy lift where occasionally the doors on floor 12 would open when the lift was at floor 13. That sobered me up pretty quick after an evening in the bar the first time it happened! Seeing your extended foot hovering over an empty lift shaft tends to have that effect.
We have had two towers fully refurbed with all new lift gear as well. Next one is being done later this year for completion next summer. The bits Albs and me were talking about is the South Courts Accomadation. No lifts, just small staricases, max four storey

.. and your left arm. Oh, wait!Auto hill hold, but without a button. The S has it too. Great when you first stop on a slope, but not so functional in stop start/creeping traffic as it thinks you've pulled away already and won't reapply itself so you have to physically apply the parking brake to stop rolling backThat's what your left foot is for
The R had it too, not surprising being a related chassis to the ML/GL, although it had the traditional foot operated mechanical parking brake. The hill hold aspect is done through the ABS
If I dropped a lottery win than an XJR-15 would be at the top of the shopping list.
Probably an XJ220 as well, plus a project 7.
I own a brace of XJ220.
One blue and one silver. Both are the special and very rare 'Maisto' version of the car.![]()
Burger King has been taken to court somewhere, probably America, on the grounds that their Whopper isn't really a Whopper!![]()
The Whoppers are certainly smaller than they were. I remember when it was a real challenge to finish a double whopper, and a single one was a decent meal. Now you can inhale either in about 30s flat and still be peckish.![]()
Perhaps you're bigger than you used to be?
For some reason, none of my tools are older than 10yrs, 6 weeks......There's an awful lot of space debris orbiting the planet at the moment.
