After having a quality chat session with Meng brother, i was advice to replace all the bushes for the W126 since i am seriously consider to keep this car for life. Apart from that, i could enjoy the complete different feel on the ride. However, it ain't cheap to do so, and it depends on luck whether you could still obtain the bushes completely or not. So, i decided to go look for the bushes tomorrow from the spare part shop!
Meanwhile, the first stage of car restoration for W126 was good. It breath better air (new air filter), cleaner engine & gearbox oils that give you the lighter feel when you drive. However, the white fume consistently come out from the exhaust especially when the car was idle while the engine was still running. it dissapeared when the car accelerated or cruised. Checked with a few mechanics, some said cylinder gasket leak, some said this could be due to condensation, some even said due to old age, white fume is normal (OMG..) and some said it could be to too much of carbon stored in the engine & exhaust system. Suggested to rev the car in highspeed to decarbonize the internal combustment. Okay, i will try to drive the car on tomorrow for a long cruise.
