Hi, just found and joined the forum, Maurice is the name. My Dad used to drive Mercedes and I've always wanted one and am bitting the bullet. Have had my eye out for sometime for a 190 cosworth but hard to find proper example without selling body organs, but have been toying with the idea of a...

Only been a year since I sold a car on Autotrader, but the increase in the amounts of idiots who cant even speak properly is getting on my tytz. Plenty calls for my c203k, but questions like "is it petrol or diesel", "what does it do to the gallon?", "is it a nice colour?" are just a few of...

Happened on this W126 ( Old S class) Buyers guide. Unlike the w124 guide I recently posted this is a pukka translation despite its german title. :o http://www.s-klasse-club.de/gb/kaufberatung.html

I found this buyers guide to the w124 series on the http://www.w124-club.de/beratung.php?Menu=53 site under Kaufberatung in the left hand menu. There's also a complete PDF file of the guide in GERMAN obviously-I havn't yet figured a way to produce an english version of the PDF. Here's the...

Hello, My father in law bought an ML270Cdi about 2 months ago from a Franchised Nissan Dealer, he has used it for the first two months in which time it had to go back for the radio that wasn't working. However since getting the car back the seatbelts keep beeping, the ABS and Airbag light...

Hi all, Does anybody have a buyers guide for the W123 series cars. I love these old Mercs (particularly the Estates). I'd like to know something about the following before I dip my toes in the water: 1) What is the best engine if I'm looking for a good balance of power and economy? 2)...

A friend of mine wants to buy a W124 saloon or coupé. He is going to be getting an independent inspection and HPI check anyway, but the cheaper options only cover major mechanical stuff and leave other bits and pieces out. These are the things I thought were important: Panel...

Hi all, Have recently sold my 300E w124 and am thinking of replacing it with an E500/500E w124. Don't know much about what it's like to own and run one, so would love to hear from these who know the car. Tell me the good and bad points, and steer me towards how to find a good one. Only...
