THEMA: Re: 220sec headlights, engine resonanating@3500 rpm

Geschrieben von karel nijeboer am 15. April 2001 21:07:16:
Hi;
I have a 220se coupe 1965, imported from california. It has USA double headlights. The lights are of the "sealed beam" type. Can I obtain spare lights for these special lights?

Another question I have:When driving in any gear (I hAVE AN AUTOMATIC), ABOVE 3500 RPM, THE ENGINE STARTS TO VIBRATE, AND WITH INCREASING REV'S , DOES NOT GO AWAY. What could be causing this? The engine has covered 120.000 miles/200.000 km. It is very irritating, and I think it could harm the engine. Because of this, I am running always at 65mph maximum speed. 70 or 75 would be nice!
Who can help??
Regards form Almelo, the Netherlands.
Karel

Hallo Karel!

Sind die Sealed beam Scheinwerfer in Holland erlaubt?

Meines Wissens waren sie ausschließlich für den Export in die USA gedacht und man müßte sie wieder umrüsten wenn ein Re-Importfahrzeug nach Europa zurück kommt.

Dear MB Fan.
I use the carsince 3 years, and we have a yearly check ofthe car, much like in Holland. My car was 4 officially tested so far, and the lights are not a problem. You can see the USA mark clearly on the lights! The light can be adjustedso they do comply to regulations. I think that these lights are NOT allowed for cars after 1965 or 67. But sinceI drive it a fewtimes a week, I really need a spare!

Karel

DearMr. Pleff.
Thanks for the answer. Apparently you know a lot about these cars. Could you give me a clue on the resonating of the engine?

I will goshopping onthe US amrket for sealed beams, otherwise I will have to change to the standard H type fittings...
Kind regards;
Karel
