450 Problems solved!!!

[500eguy]

I am a happy MB owner today because when i bought my 450 it had a rough idle problem and a Power Brake problem. After one week of buying parts and installing them, the car runs and stops fine. No more rough idle!!! just thought i would share my Happiness!!:)

Nothing like it is there  

BTW, not to stray to far, but now's a good time as any to ask.  What's the go with the 500E, as in, what makes it special and why do Aussies want one. Have you got a good link on the model?  A short PS on your next post will do?

Back to your 450,  What did you do/replace etc?

yes, it would be good to know. what was the prime reason of the rough idle.
was there a major vacuum leak throught the brake boost ?

happy driving

well the main reason to the rough idle were bad plug wires. I replaced wires, cap, rotor, brake booster, master cylinder, some vaccum lines. Everything seems to be going good now. I am off to take some pictures of the car to show all of you on the forum!
