I have a 1988 300ce that I've been thinking of selling. Would quite like a change and fancy a W124 convertible or an R129. Anyway, I'm finding it hard to put a price on my current car. The values seem to be all over the place. From £2-3k for very high mileage tired / modified cars, to...

I followed some advice on Mercedessource (a great site if you haven't heard about it) about checking for worn engine mounts. Open the bonnet so you can see the engine through the gap, put the car in Drive, put one foot on the brake and gently press the accelerator, looking at how much the engine...

It's had a full gearbox service early last year. And it's a KE jetronic fuel injection system as far as I'm aware. Oh and I fitted a new set of Continentals, the previous tyres were over 10 years old. Makes sense when it had driven less than 1000 miles in the last decade. So, engine and...

Thanks guys, good information on both the engine and bushes side of things. Everything has been replaced with proper mercedes parts, apart from the HT leads, which my garage replaced at short notice due to a bad misfire shortly after taking the car home. I'll replace these with mercedes parts...

I daily drive a 1987 300ce with just over 40k miles. Since I bought it a year ago, it's had a slight shake at idle when in drive or reverse. The revs do not fluctuate, but every second or two you get a slight shake from the engine that's felt through the body. The car also jolts when shifting...

I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have a 1980s classic with an original Dicksons of Perth dealer sticker in the rear window that they could take a photo of?

I've been considering upgrading the original blaupunkt speakers in my 300CE, and came across these on eBay and Amazon, called ESX Quantum. Has anyone any experience of them, or other suggestions on brand and model? ? ESX Quantum QX 120 Lautsprecher max Set Mercedes W124 Limousine vorne hinten...

Thanks, that's really useful information, good to have a checklist to work through. Can all these items degrade due to age as supposed to mileage, given it's so low on this car? I've had the car inspected by a specialist in Belfast as well as the local garage I mentioned in Edinburgh and was...

Hi there, I'm a new member and this is my first post. I bought my first Mercedes, a 1988 300CE, at the start of the year and it's been a great experience so far. I've just moved to Edinburgh, and would like to hear any recommendations regarding where to go for servicing and repairs. Are there...
