230e

I have just purchased a 1986 W124 230E. It has standard 15" steel wheels and trims. I would like some larger, wider alloys. Which ones will fit straight on with no mods or problems? Thanks

Help needed. I drove home from work last night in the torrential rain about 75 miles, as I approached home and went round a bend I heard sloshing water. On further inspection I found about an inch of water in all foot wells apart from drivers side. I managed to remove all the water and dry...

Morning all, My W123 230e has some play in the steering, I have only noticed it when driving at speed. Anyway I have checked everything around the steering and it all seems OK. The car has 130k on the clock so I am guessing its the steering box. First question is, to tighten up the...

Hello this is my first post, though I have checked out the site for a while. My 230E sometimes keeps on running when you switch it of, to get it to die you have to pull out the coil ht lead. The previous owner mentioned something about the main relay being bridged, due to it failing, could...

Hi, Have a slight problem with the 230e auto. When drive or reverse are selected the revs drop to about 450rpm and then stalls. When it's out of gear the idle is anywhere from 800-1000rpm. The warmer the engine gets the higher the idle goes. When started first thing in the morning it's on 600...

Hi guys, I don't have any pics but I went to see an 87 W124 230E for sale today. It's white and has only done 90,000 miles. There's no rust on it anywhere and it doesn't look like it's been resprayed. Bad points: Car wasn't running when I arrived and although the interior was filthy, it...
