Hi, I've been running my 260E for 6 months and it's returned 27/28mpg every tank. The last two fill ups it's dropped to 23ish and the exhaust is smelling really rich. Any ideas on what to check? Only other problem that seems to have developed at the same time is that I'm losing cooland...

Cheers Graham. Clogged filter? Or the vent valve isn't opening properly?

I've had my 260E for a month now, covered 1000 miles, and filled up 4 times (averaging 27mpg). Each time I take the cap off, there's a rush of air. I understand that fuel is cold when underground and expands a bit in the tank as it warms up, but this seems a bit more than I'd expect. Any...

MB Automotive in Loughborough did a great job for me recently

Are the wheel trims decent?

EZL job done. The paste was a bit runnier than expected and a fair bit squeezed out from around the sides as I tightened it down. I guess that means that the void between the unit and the wing is full though. Cheers for the tip Grober.

Thanks Graeme, a job for tonight, assuming that it's not pissing down.

Hey Grober! Hoping you see this as I'm too new to send you a message... When changing the heatsink past on the back of the EZL, do you need a sheet of plastic, heatsink material too? Something like this? Thanks

Hello, My new (old) W124 has three, original matching wheel trims and another that is similar, but different. Does anyone have one (or four) of these, as shown in the picture, with the chrome edge to them. Cheers.

I told you there'd be lots of pictures...

I'd like to fit a DAB into my 260E, but retain the power aerial for FM use. I realise that I'll have to fit either a splitter or an additional DAB aerial, but modern head units don't seem to have an output signal to power the electric aerial. I guess I could use a feed from the ignition and...

Cheers Grober. Heatsink paste ordered.

Pictured are my new 260E and the T4 it replaces. Now that I've collected and more importantly washed it, it finally feels like mine. I bought it from a local old boy who'd owned it since 1992. He's covered 8000 miles in the last ten years, but had it serviced and MOTd every year. He sold it...

Thanks for re-posting. What a line up!

So what do I have to do to see these Photobucket pictures???

Took the carpets out of my 124 for the first time tonight and in the passenger footwell there's a red terminal block. Is that where the rear speakers are wired from? Mine aren't connected/working as the fantastic Audioline cassette player installed only has one pair of outputs. If I swap the...

I cleaned my new 124 for the first time tonight and had the carpets out for a poke around. Under the driver's footwell carpet theres a small bracket with a wire to a sprung-loaded things that appears to be a microswitch. I have so many questions that I hope the Haynes manual that I have on...

Looking for some 'period' W124 alloys, with tyres ideally. Let me know what you have...

Cheers. The different sized mirrors are my favourite design feature. ...and I've come from a T4, the centre vents do the same.

Now working perfectly!. Cheers Stwat - expect more, dumb newb questions over the next few days.
