I mentioned my 600 in a few different posts. It is a 2003 w220 LWB S600.
It is the 5.5L V12 Twin Turbo m275 engine same as a Maybach.
I bought this car cheap 4 years ago sight unseen with known misfire from England. Got it over here to NI and fitted a reman coil pack from USA on one bank of cylinders and the car was amazing. Massive history folder has had tens of thousands maintenance spent on it over the years.
I have 11 MBs so unfortunately it has sat around my house for about 2 years now so it's high time I got her back on the road again.
I'll share that on here for anyone interested.
First off it was running badly today. Not enough power to drive up the ramps!! I figured old fuel. Sure enough after 20L of fresh super unleaded and Octane booster was added to the tank it is back to normal self.
First task today now it was driven up on ramps as to assess the jack point rust these all suffer from. Initial look at one is not good
I'll spend this afternoon stripping the underbody panels to expose the jacking points and see what I'll be dealing with.
FWIW I have previously addressed alot of rust on this car just after I bought it. I'll provide more history on the car as I go
