Hey good on you buddy I had exactly the same problem I just went out and gave my number 12 fuse a wobble after watching your video and my reverse lights now come on thankyou
I knew you wouldn’t be thrilled with a W210. The W211 though, is an excellent car, and you’d love it. It’s build quality is closer to the W124 in my opinion, but it’s obviously far more modern. No rust issues, shifter issues, window regulator issues, crappy electronics or any other W210 associated issues with the W211... and with the same great drivetrain as an option. You could always give the W210 to your under-butler to drive, instead of getting rid of it if you wish.
with the 211, it'd have to be a 55 or a 63. I saw a rather nice 63 for sale over east recently too. And then if im dropping that much coin i may as well go with the facelift 212 or newer 63 with the twin turbo v8
on the 722.6 this is the switch and its in the gear selector. The problem as at the end of the video is a lose fuse holder /cracked soldering in the light switch of all places. Going to remove it and see if i can repair it later today
@@charlesphiliparthurgeorgep4653 For me, a W140 is a bigger W124. It's a very simple car if you get to know them well. I have 2 W140 and 2 W124s, very good cars indeed. I had a W210, bought it new in 2000, worst car I ever had

thats not actually a fix it needs to be resoldered to be fixed properly. I made a video showing how.
@@MMWA-DAVE yer I have a look at least I found the problem or U did I should say cheers

I’m thinking it’s likely to be the neutral safety switch on the transmission…it also activates the reversing lights.

Great and helpfull video. Thank’s
let's keep the remains, it may be necessary someday... 😂
i serviced the switch and reboxed it and stored it, not throwing it out. Guaranteed they’re not made anymore and current stock is old.
@@MMWA-DAVE our course is this, the NLA parts... 😩
An interesting example of how electronic complexity has increasingly muddied the waters since the W124. Ask any W140 owner !
If you believe that, then the W140 is far more similar to the W124 than you realize.
