    W123 Ignition Barrel Removal

    Thanks everyone, job now done. Decided to hack the whole mechanisum out of the donor and take that one apart then do the 230 properly. By the way the W123 does only have one hole and you need to unscrew the black outer casing. As you sau 60 seconds and its done. Thanks again David

    W123 Straight 6 2.5 Ltr & Auto box 4 Sale

    This engine and gearbox are too good to send to the scrap yard and as I have said I have removed most of what I bought the car for already. What I am looking to recover is £10 or £15 pounds towards my cost of hiring a trailer to collect the car, cost me £40 in total, for the engine and box. I...

    W123 Straight 6 2.5 Ltr & Auto box 4 Sale

    Jay, I'd obviously like to get rid of the car as quickly as posible, its on eBay right now at 0.99p, but if it's not too far in the future I could persuade my wife to let me keep it for a bit longer. As I said everything is there all I am taking off is the trim, tailgate, locks, battery...

    W123 Straight 6 2.5 Ltr & Auto box 4 Sale

    I recently bought a 1981 W123 250T as a parts car for my 230TE and have almost finished taking off what I need, however the donor car has a very good 2.5 ltr straight six engine and auto box that would be a waste to scrap. The engine has done 131,000 and the amount of history that the car came...

    One-DOWN-manship

    Top marks to that man, absolutly correct. 3 seats in a row and left-hand drive, made country lane crusing very interesting at time. Funny, never had the same passenger twice.... David

    One-DOWN-manship

    Being somewhat older than many of you, I appear to have has a much more eclectic collection of cars in my time. Some of the high and lowlights, in no particular order, include: Austin Princess (nicknamed the Slug – use your imagination) Matra Baghera (lets see who know what one of them is)...

    Where do I start

    Pammy hi...Thanks for the welcome. Just to let you all know that a W123 230TE "does" have a fuel filter as I believe the saloon does as well. I found it, with a lot of help, above the fuel pump just in front of the rear off side wheel. Not having time to get a replacement I used the...

    Where do I start

    Thanks for the ideas guy's but I don't think it's the choke. The car starts and idle's for a good 10 minutes before the problem occurs, the tempreature gets to about 80 degrees so the engine is warm, and so is the heater. During this peiod I can rev the engine OK and drive the car backwards...
