How Do I Refill a 420SEL Radiator?


1. Open the hood of the car by pulling on the lever next to the emergency brake. Press up on the T-shaped lever under the hood to pop it.
2. Remove the radiator cap. The radiator is located in the very front of the engine. In a 420SEL, the cap is located on the left side of the radiator and will be labeled with 'Engine Coolant.' Twist off the cap and place it where it won't get lost.
3. Slowly pour the antifreeze into the radiator. The radiator should be full of coolant. The container will fill up quickly, so be careful as the fluid rises to the top.
4. Check the reservoir that the radiator is connected to on the left side of the engine. The reservoir will have lines indicating the minimum and maximum amount of fluid that should occupy it. Fill the reservoir with antifreeze to the appropriate level.

How to Hook Up an Aftermarket Radio to a Factory Bose


1. Disconnect the negative battery cable (or grounding cable) from the vehicle's battery. The grounding cable is the black cable that connects the battery to the frame or chassis of the vehicle. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the cable's clamp. Remove the clamp from the negative lead post.
2. Remove the factory installed Bose stereo deck from the vehicle's dash. Removal procedures vary among vehicles. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for specific instructions.
3. Disconnect the wiring groups at the rear of the factory stereo. The four groups of wires are for the antenna, the amplifier, the speakers and the power supply.
4. Install a faceplate adapter to the opening left vacant by the old stereo unit. The adapter will make a slot accepting of a new stereo receiver.
5. Connect the wiring from the vehicle to a wiring harness adapter. The wiring harness adapter will provide a uniform platform for connecting to an aftermarket stereo receiver.
6. Connect the wiring harness adapter leads to the new aftermarket stereo. The Bose speaker connections will attach to the wiring harness adapter at the appropriately color-coded points.
7. Slide the aftermarket radio into the slot provided by the universal faceplate adapter. Replace any paneling that may have been required for stereo installation.
8. Reconnect the grounding cable to the vehicle's battery. Place the cable's clamp around the negative lead post of the battery. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the cable's bolt. The clamp needs to be tightened only enough to prevent the clamp from being able to be moved around the negative lead post by hand.

How to Buy a Mercedes in Europe


Mercedes European Delivery Program
1. Talk to a salesman or a European Delivery Specialist at your local Mercedes dealership in the United States about your desire to purchase a Mercedes through the European Delivery Program. You and the salesman will discuss which car you would like to purchase and how soon the car will be available. Usually four to five months is sufficient time to plan ahead.
2. Decide what Mercedes model you want, choose the specifications you want on the car, then order the car. You need to put down a $2,000 deposit and will need to bring your valid U.S. passport to your salesman. You will finish paperwork at the factory in Germany before picking up your Mercedes.
3. Talk to the European Delivery Travel agency to plan your trip to pick up the Mercedes in Stuttgart, Germany. You will fly into Germany, take a complimentary taxi ride to the hotel sponsored by Mercedes, then prepare for the Mercedes tour the following day. One night's hotel stay is provided in the delivery program. You can choose to plan your own route around Europe after picking up your car, or you can choose one of Mercedes' optional tours for an additional fee, such as the Black Forest Alps Rally.
4. Pick up your car in Stuttgart after completing your paperwork and taking a factory tour. Do not lose any of the paperwork. You can drive your car around Europe for 15 days, the amount of time the complimentary insurance is valid. You can drop your car off at any one of 13 European cities Monday through Friday when you are ready to have your Mercedes shipped to your Mercedes dealership in the United States. Shipping is free of charge for those who buy their Mercedes through the European Delivery Program. Show your paperwork to the employees at the drop-off location to prove you purchased the car and you can have it shipped to the United States.
5. Take everything out of the car, including the first-aid kit, when you are dropping it off to have it shipped to the United States. U.S. Customs will remove everything from the car when it reaches the U.S. border. Your Mercedes will arrive at your dealer in six to nine weeks. Your dealer will inspect the car and register it when it arrives.
