This is my first post as a new member. I bought a 1988 230 GE from a friend who has had it in his barn for the last two years, with slightly more faults than I originally thought!! The transmission slips from second into third (auto) so I will be taking into my friendly specialist whom I supply with transmission fluids. New back box, front discs, rear shockers/springs and some bits and she'll be back in for another MOT. The usual rear panel rust is to be sorted too. I have located a driver's seat cover from a Mercedes Main dealer, unless any member knows where they can be obtained more cheaply ( been quoted £78 ) ? The rev counter isn't working-anyone know why? Will post some pics when I get it back! This is a new area for me as I have a small collection of coupes, estates and convertibles, all Mercs, so i'm expecting some challenges!!

Hi-W123 200 saloon, W124 E280TE, R129 500SL, W140 coupe just sold, W114 280 coupe, W202 C180, 230GE. Still culling the fleet, most cars in superb order, except 114 coupe, which needs restoring. I like variety!!
