Hello I've just fitted aftermarket cruise (will post more info on this when time allows). All is working well, but it's not picking up a signal from the speed sensor. When I bought the car it had a factory speed sensor on the back of the speedo but nothing was connected to it. I fitted a...

A few months ago I went to close my sunroof and nothing happened. During later investigation there was no blown fuse & I could hear clicking in the back by the motor. I closed the roof manually and it closed easily enough so I was fairly sure I could rule out a mechanical fault. I looked around...

Hello I've just picked up a pair of Febi wishbones for my S124. Had a good read through a few posts here about these and decided that I'd replace them at 130k miles as a precautionary measure. Don't like the idea of an adrift front wheel! This post from WDB124066...

This started yesterday. Bit of sunshine down here on the south coast, so pressed both front windows down to the 2nd position so they auto-roll all the way down. When we came to do them up they weren't moving- replaced the blown fuse and they went up OK. Today I had the same problem again, so I...

Happened upon this for sale in Austria: Gebraucht Mercedes W124 in 5101 Lengfelden on ? 1.750,00 ? Shpock Have done some searching around and can't find anything like it. Looks like a non MB coachbuilder's conversion of an estate. Was wondering whether it was originally a hearse, but doesn't...

Sometime in the summer I had a couple of times when the engine would start, but immediately die again.I had to turn over the engine many times before it would eventually start, with periodic glows inbetween. After those couple of times it seemed to rectify itself & was fine. Until a couple of...

Am after a complete kit to retrofit to my multivalve 3 litre diesel estate. Need everything. Thanks

Hello I have a brilliant silver 744 W124. It has the contrasting darker silver plastic panels, which seem pretty standard. I'm trying to find a paint code for that darker silver. Can anyone help? Thanks

I've read numerous threads online about replacing the ignition barrel. I had mine out and serviced by a local locksmith. I've managed to get the barrel back in OK, but when I slide the hardened collar over the top, the only position it seems to want to go back into place is with the 3 key...

We're driving around the west coast of the Scottish Highlands at the moment in the 300TD (which is behaving faultlessly) and came upon a police roadblock near Glenuig. Turned out they were filming the SLS AMG Roadster advert. I just happened to have my video camera to hand... [YOUTUBE...

Yesterday I noticed a nasty rattle at idle. Found that the bolt that holds the idler pulley damper to the tensioning lever had gone, so the shock was swinging loose and pulley was bouncing around. Today I removed the shock & spring and have rotated the lever enough to get a new bolt in place...

Has anyone got any experience with this or similar? I'd really like to get wide angle glass on my O/S mirror and £7 delivered seems a reasonable price. eBay link

I'm upgrading the fuel system on my 300TD, which I'm going to write about on my diary thread soon, but in the meantime I have a question. A replacement tank was fitted a few years ago, before I bought the car. The metal fuel lines running the length of the car are both 8mm OD, but the tank has...

So I'd like to replace the alarm that was in the car when I bought it and add some kind of mechanical immobiliser. Having read through various alarm posts/recommendations on this forum it seems like Clifford have got the best rep, but I'm open to any make. Can anyone recommend a reasonably...
