New year price reduction , £400.

And some other, ad-hoc photos.... Seven Seat option :)

And the blemishes. The brown stuff over the bubbling, is grease. I have applied this to help prevent any further spread, and to keep the moisture away from the area.

Hi All, Some photos that I have taken today. Excuse the black edging on some of them, the camera decided that it was going to have a funny five minutes (possibly bought on by the cold!).

Car is currently located in Highbridge, Somerset, but can be located in Southmead, Bristol if needed.

162,000 miles , forgot to add. Major work on the engine (checking previous receipts) - Headgasket in 2004 - Tappets also replaced at 120,000.

Hello, It is with great regret that the time has come to sell my 1991 300TE (S124). Unfortunately, due to moving house and not being able to fit the vehicle into my garage, plus a forthcoming company car allowance and a 5 year age limit, the 124 has to go as I only have room for one classic on...

I learnt the hard way!! I neglected to use a proper, hex headed socket, even though I have one. I suggested the use of one in the video :). Seeing as the sump bolt was a couple of pounds, tops, I'll be changing it each time, in the future.

Hi all, Decided to complete a simple oil change on my 300TE, only to have the sump bolt round off!! Anyway, I left it for a few days and looked up online how other people have overcome the problems. Below is a quick youtube video I uploaded with how I resolved the problem on my W124. Thought...

A five stud hub conversion (very easy to do) and some suitable, deep dish alloys, and he'd be well away. Alloys such as this :- Would work very well. The car in the photos, incidently, is a very rare one off convertible Calibra, converted at a cost of around £14,000 for the original...

The Calibra is already a fantastic looking car, imho, so no need to modify it in this way. If he wanted to carry out this conversion, he could have at least chosen a V6 or Turbo version, those 4 stud, 14 inch Mk3 Cavalier/Vectra A CD alloys look seriously out of place!! V6's and turbos are five...

Mine has some rust on the drivers side, under the rear side window. You can feel the metal up behind the flap is crusty, but still solid. For the moment, I've dossed it in waxoyl. The suspension pipework, unlike my old 200TE, it's all good in this area, I've waxoyled and hammerited in this...

Thankfully, or not, mine does not have A/C. It does have the electric sunroof, a light coloured interior and Artic white paintwork. Even in the hottest weather, having the sunroof open whilst park, helps it from getting too hot inside. Though it lacks the icy comfort of A/C, for our climate...

I keep having a think about a car, that is produced today, that is produced with the same levels of engineering and lack of cost cutting, that is affordable by the relatively normal person, without having to go down the Rolls Royce or Bentley route. The only car that has come close in recent...

It was that time of the year again, a year since I purchased my 300TE and time to MOT the vehicle. I spent a saturday checking things over, hammeriting a few bits and pieces on the underside and treating the car to a service. I booked her in today to Autospec (Bristol) for the MOT. I receive...

I tend to top up my Jags waxoyl compliment about once every 2 years or so :). Dinitrol is arguably one of the best, as regards protection and penetration, but it is pricey.

Hello, I did a little bit of rust proofing to my Estate late last summer. I need to finish it off, but I got most of it done. This is what I did. I removed all four wheels, cover brake components with a black sack and wash the arch areas thoroughly. Once dry, I removed all the arch liners and...

Hi All, Just wanted to regail you with an experience I have recently had with my W124 and the heater. Due to various reasons, the heater has not been blowing hot. This occurred after the car had been sat idle in the garage for nearly a month. Anyway, a quick check when the heater dials...

Be interesting to see. My old 200TE had had some work done on the rear offside wing at some point. Under certain light you could see the colour difference and where the sprayer had feathered in the finish. I'll be honest, I didn't notice it until a few months into owning it, so the finish was...

I like that, but then again, I lack taste. I have a thing for interior colours that are completely left field. On eBay, some time back, a W124 200TE came up. Very odd spec. It had air con, but no electric windows etc. The interior was cloth and the same colour as that W220. Exterior was very...
