Do you have those models?

I had the W220 S class and the R230 and I have the R129 SL600 and the R231.
I would love to have 'em all but I just don't have the garage/storage space.

 

Sorry, I copped the photo off a Modeler's sub-site.

 

For Bolton Jerry:

 

good quick draft but it's missing some parts. I don't see a level sensor or accelerometer, where's the dynamic adjuster or the dynamic sway bar link?
and where is the 4 wheel steering?

I saw another cool oil change hack on YouTube today. Use a plastic cup to remove the filter. It will provide grip on the filter and also catch the oil drips as the filter is unscrewed and removed.

 

^ not on an MGA. I use a 8" extension plus a 4" extension plus a 1/4" swivel plus a proper sized filter removal tool and then with a 1/4" socket handle I can finally get a grip to loosen it. Oh yeah, and when I finally can hand screw it off, oil runs down my arm! The joys of vintage cars.

 

I will have to try the solo cup. I have a big Costco bag of them. I have been using the long baggy that newspapers would come in during the wet season. I saved them just for removing the filter. This solo cup looks like my new cup of tea.
I use the Fumoto valve and an aluminum chafing dish pan for catching the oil underneath and pour it into the recycle container a couple of times. That keeps the pan from overflowing. You can control the flow with the Fumoto. I use a drip pan to slid the chafing pan under the car. I only need to open the hood for an oil change.

 

So normal rules, procedures, and hacks don't apply to British sports cars?

 

I can barely get my hand on the filter due to the tight location. No way to have a catch all under it. But since I'm doing my annual lube and inspection I'll share this story.

I spent at least 3 hours yesterday greasing 4 fittings, two on each king pin. Damn, I hate grease guns! I was using a small cheap grease gun with no rod lock because I like its size. I ended up going through 2.5 cartridges trying to get it to load and work properly. Had grease everywhere but where I wanted it. I ended up tossing it in the garbage, going to town and buying a new bigger pump handle gun with a rod lock. Great right. Nope. Loaded easily and correctly but when I inserted the hose nozzle on the grease fitting it would not go. I know how to fix that, use a tapped drift to free it up inside. And it worked. Until I tried removing it from the fitting. I ended using a two foot Snap-On tool to pop it off the fitting. In the end I took the nozzle off my old cheap gun and put it on the new gun. Ta-Da
