Thank you for registering and welcome to the R129 forum.
To be able to post you must click on the activation link that was bounced back to the email address that you provided when registering.
If your posts are currently at zero you will have to post several TEST posts in the
http://www.benzworld.org/forums/test/ forum before you will gain permission to view attached files, like JPG's and PDF's, as this privilege is post count driven. So post TEST 2-3 times in the same NEW test thread that you start. You should now be ready to go.
We hope to provide answers to your technical questions as well inviting you to join in and add your own advice and comments to other member's topics.
We've had mention made about SHOUTING so please do not type in capitals when posting. Another thing we have received is about huge graphics used as signatures in private messages=PM .
Large signatures: added 19th. March 2008.
This issue has been discussed before but with new members always joining it has to be mentioned again.
Please do not put large photos of your or other vehicles as your signature.
It uses a lot of the forum's bandwidth and also very quickly fills up the topic page if the poster with a huge signature replies many times on the same page, it also becomes very boring and annoying especially if the picture is a bigger version of their avatar.
If you want to show off your car post nice big photos in the sticky topic
R129 Photos then just add the link to your photo in your signature, members can then just open the link if they wish.
If you really feel there is a need to display an image other than an avatar please limit the image size to a few kilobytes.
Finally we would like to draw your attention to the BenzWorld 'Terms of Use' regulations which are intended as a guide to keep the forum running in a smooth, friendly, and mature manner.
http://www.benzworld.org/terms.html On the lighter more humerous side, please see Flash » Posting And You... Please read and follow these important steps before starting a new topic or asking members for technical help.
The chances are that your question has already been covered before so use the 'Search' feature, located on the top right side of the forum, before posting. Simply type in a keyword e.g. Hydraulic. This will bring up all posts on that topic.
For more advanced, selective, and deeper searching select 'Advanced Search', type in keywords such as Hydraulic, use the drop down for additional options, and choose the R129 forum if the search is related to our R129 models. Or you may choose to Search all the forums for a specific topic. As an Example please see the below JPG's. Double click on the JPG if it needs be to enlarged.
If your particular query is not covered after carefully reading through the search results, post your topic as follows.
* Post a clear and concise question.
* State the year, model, and mileage of the vehicle involved and also your location.
* State the exact nature of the problem and include any recent work carried out to the vehicle prior to the fault.

Please don't forget to post back, and attach medium size photographs, of any DIY repairs that you believe will help other members if they have to make a similar repair.
Please do not start duplicate topics but post into existing topics which cover your question or comments. If you find that your duplicate topic or post is missing it will have been moved and merged with an appropriate existing topic.
