Hi, I was wondering if someone can recommend a body shop in East London. I'm looking to get a small ugly (fist sized) dent to be taken out + plus some smaller dings and scratches... Any idea what this would cost roughly? Cheers guys!

So, I found the unit - thanks Ian! I disconnected the the plug from the unit while the ignition was on and the gauge dropped to Empty. I've heard that this indicates a faulty sender unit - and that if it were working appropriately the gauge would show full. Is this correct ? Where can I order...

Basically, is the front passenger window and the right rear one that are not functioning...

Hi Dieselman, Where in hte boot is it located? Is it down in the spare tire well? I've had a look but it didn't jump out at me immdediately... Cheers!

Hello forum, First thanks to all for this great forum, I've just joined but have found it already very very helpful. I've recently purchased a w124 230E in less than stellar condition and have decided to sort some of the issues out myself. I'm not exactly the most gifted DIY mechanic but I...
