I'm in the process of investigating condensation on my S124- looks like the estate windows and rear door seals in my case.
The v12 hasn't got a thread as such- thought I'd wait until I'd got it running....
I'm expecting I might need to do window/door/sunroof/boot seals but it seems to be dry at the moment. From what i've read on mbclub the seals are only available from MB and are quite expensive... The v12 hasn't got a thread as such- thought I'd wait until I'd got it running....
It's a 500, but hey, it's not every day you find a SEC unloved on a drive!
From what I can gather, it is a two owner car, service history is missing at the moment, but it is only showing 123,000 miles.
It has what i've been told is very rare black leather, and it comes with a full AMG bodykit and Penta wheels, obviously not fitted.
I'm looking forward to going through it all, and this thread has certainly given some pointers!

Sounds great, do start a thread. If I can help I will, ask any questions - can't promise to be able to answer them though! From what I can gather, it is a two owner car, service history is missing at the moment, but it is only showing 123,000 miles.

MOT didn't get done this weekend, still quite a few little jobs to tick off..... Hoping to get it done mid month
Some progress though, new (2nd hand) wiper motor and linkage delivered for £37;

One of the relays looks like this though;
So I am looking for a replacement, part number below;

Yep, messaged him earlier! bmthnick1981 said:
Ok, new relay sourced from a helpful chap on MBClub Forum :-)
Oh and got a nice 27 page reply from the DVLA to my history request, now have details of all previous owners, reg transfers etc. Car was on the plate '1 YMY' for some time.

I used to get my Mk 3 Golf GTI 16v looked after by them - very good IMO
Great to see such progress. I have to admit, when you bought this, I had my concern that it would turn into a 'some time never' project. I'm very happy to have been proved wrong. Bravo. 
It was due to be MOT'd Sat 15th just got but my chap went up there to move it and it wouldn't start.... Needs investigation, thought not simply to be fuel or battery. Oh well, muhc progress has been made and it is ready to be MOT'd now if it can be got to start and run reliably.
Sat 15th was a busy day for me as our first child was born, 8lb baby boy, he enjoyed the ride home in the E38 V12. Hope he likes the 560, can't wait to go cruising round with him in it :-)
