Hi guys, A friend of mine has a 1993 W124 with a 2.5 turbo diesel engine abroad (LHD vehicle). It's got a strange issue that the engine cuts out when you let off the accelerator pedal a bit too quickly - the car starts fine, both on cold and warm, also if you're gently with the throttle, then...

Just wanted to thank everybody for your help and advice, as I've recently sold my W124 and won't be around in this forum anymore, as planning to buy a BMW. Was a pleasure being here and I've learned a lot along the way as well. Thanks again and good luck! Who knows...I might be back one day...

Took my W124 for MOT yesterday and it failed on emissions BADLY. Here's the list: 1. Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive 2. Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive 3. Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside...

When I saw this beast, I immediately thought about this forum and you guys :D I HAD to take a few pics...Not the best quality, since I used my phone. How rare these things are? Only 10-20 in the UK, no? I haven't covered the number plate, because it would spoil the overall look :D

I don't get these people who steal the MB bonnet badges. What's the point of breaking it, because you won't be able to fit it anyway, right? ****ing retards.

As some of you know, I've sold my black mono 2's a while ago, because I needed cash urgently, but now when funds allow I'm thinking of getting 17's, although not sure about getting mono 2's again... So, W124 fans, your recommendation of alloy wheels? No limits or anything, you can suggest...

Will this fit on my W124? And is there any difference between the one above and this one: The steering wheel on W124 is massive, I'm guessing these "Sport" ones from W202 are a bit smaller, right?

Mercedes AMG 17 inch Alloys with 2 good tyres on eBay (end time 19-Mar-11 21:17:34 GMT) The auction is finishes in a few hours, so might be a bit too late, but I was wondering how come they're 17", not 19"? According to the part number they're AMG alloys for CLS, but those are supposed to be...

The gear changes in my W124 are REALLY rough. Sometimes I feel like I'm driving an old Transit...You seriously have to push/pull the gear knob to change gears. That's not too bad, but the worst bit is when you put it into reverse and then can't bring it back to neutral again. It doesn't happen...

Anyone knows any good scrap yards around London, particularly West? I know the one in Alperton, just after Hanger Lane roundabout, which isn't too bad...but I thought you might know more?

I'm a bit confused here, lol You know those small, little digital black boards that you see attached to a lamp post, and they suddenly say something like "SLOW DOWN - SPEED LIMIT 30", when you go past them a bit faster? They're not cameras, right? Are they just some kind of speed sensors to...

I have decided to sell my AMG alloys, since I need some extra cash now. Alright, so below you can see 4x genuine 17" AMG staggered monoblock 2 alloys with tyres, fully refurbished in black with chrome lip. In perfect condition, NO KERBING at all - only the lacquer is starting to bubble in some...

3 days left and only 50 quid so far...Could be bargain for someone :) Mercedes benz C63 Genuine Wheels and Tyres alloys on eBay (end time 05-Jan-11 11:48:51 GMT)

My fuses on the W124 are playing up badly in the recent few days. Probably due to cold weather or maybe because they're too old, don't know...but it's definitely annoying... Sometimes my wiper stops working, sometimes the rear demister or the screen wash, or I can't flash my lights, electric...

Quite rare stuff, black in color and electric as well :) mercedes w124 black leather seats front and back on eBay (end time 24-Dec-10 17:55:21 GMT)

If you still haven't seen my sig, then I'm posting this thread for you :D I need some cheap Mercedes alloys for my W124. I don't mind if they are 15" or 16", but they have to be original MB with legal tyres. Can be pretty much any alloy wheel model, as long as it fits W124. Willing to...

Was randomly browsing the web, and came across this picture: Can anyone explain what's the point of covering the rear wheels under the arches?

I've always wondered why did MB make the left/right wing mirrors in different shape? Is there any advantage/technical trick behind it? Couldn't they just make both the same? I was even more surprised, when I realized LHD VW Golf mk4's in Europe have different left/right mirrors as well, while...

MISTAKE IN THE TITLE: It's actually a Clifford alarm, sorry! I hired a guy to install the alarm on my W124, but after he finished it, the central locking wasn't working, if you used the remote control. It locks and unlocks fine using the original key on the door, but not with the remote. He...

I had a look at some similar threads using the search function, and it seems like others experience the "stiff throttle pedal" on their W124s as well. It's the common problem of it being stuck at one point, when you are trying to push it down gently. I tried spraying WD40 on the throttle...
