    Pagoda Engine Rebuild Recomendation

    The "little round things" are probably valve seals. Installing new valve seals without verifying the condition of the guides is futile. I fear for you and your car whilst it is the current people's hands unless there's something more I don't know.

    Pagoda Engine Rebuild Recomendation

    Incidentally, you really ought to go to this forum for everything you could possibly want to know about 113s Pagoda SL Group Also, when the camshaft and bearings are replaced be sure to change rockers and rocker posts too. Did you have new guides when the head gasket was done? If not, did the...

    Pagoda Engine Rebuild Recomendation

    Because it is the experienced middle man that will know all of the idiosyncrasies of the M129 engine that your average machine shop will not. There are many ways to build an engine, especially one that is 100% reliant upon correct assembly and perhaps more importantly, installation for best...

    Some notable engine builder's reputations have suffered a lot recently.

    KE Jetronic Expert London Area

    Steve certainly is old school. In fact a 124 is probably a bit young for him! EHA failure is relatively common however and should have been picked up by any half decent indy. You will notice a significant improvement in performance I'm sure.

    W140 S500 Wanted

    I have just taken one in. Midnight blue with mushroom leather, 93K one owner, has lived in an underground garage in London as part of a private fleet and has done mot mileage only in the last four years running. It's immaculate. PM me if interested, for some reason I am unable to PM on this site.

    w124 e280 62k miles last owner 16 years

    As you well know, if it has factory A/C and the blower motor fails then it can be changed in a couple of hours through the engine bay. With after market A/C the dash will have to come out to get to the blower motor and then you have to hope that whatever motor you find under their can be...

    Shame about the after-market A/C

    R107 purchase

    The fuel pump power supply is controlled by the ECU. If it has failed then that would explain the supplementary switch.

    Beware cheap MoTs

    MOTs are a lottery. There's a garage on the main road between Richmond and Mortlake that offers FREE mot with an already very cheap service. I know where they take the cars for MOTs and I know what goes on. That garage is making a fortune through dishonesty and I seriously hope that those who...

    S400CDI cold start problem

    I had a PM asking for an update but it's better for all if I post the update here so everyone can see it. Problem was water ingress to engine ECU. New ECU was required. (we didn't bother trying to have it repaired but this was probably possible).

    Your top three driving pet hates...

    I can't believe I'm alone in this: People who blindly follow the bumper of the car in front when driving down busy but narrow country lanes. If only they would look beyond the car in front to assess whether there is oncoming traffic and whether there will be room for more than one car to pass...
