My W124 E300d multivalve failed its MOT as the front mounts of the rear sub frame were very corroded and on the off side they were rusted through so even when jacking the rear the wheel stayed on the floor. The near side wasnt rusted through but it was on its way. No sign off this on the MOT 12...

I had a look behind my dashboard and saw the bulb tell you there is a light problem was blown. I replaced it and it comes on every time i switch the lights on (main light or side light setting) after a couple of seconds. After searching here i found that it is normally rear number plate bulbs...

I was pulling into a space at the supermarket on Friday on left full lock at low speed. All of a sudden there was a horrible sound and I got out to see that the suspension had competely come away from the left wheel. The tie rod was still in place but the lower arm had completely come away at...

i have noticed that as i mainly use the key in the drivers door to unlock and lock when i use it in the passenger and boot locks it doesnt always turn first time and needs a bit of wobbling in the lock. i locked the boot last week turning to 3'o'clock to double lock to boot and since then i...

i have read that replacing the digital exterior temp sensor under the speedo when faulty is quite complicated. mine has just been blank (no power) since i have owned it and i was wondering whether there is an easy fix for this problem. all my fuses are ok but apart from that i have no idea what...

guys. my access to this forum has been limited of late but i have taken a picture of a joint that has the split boot in the first picture. the second picture is when the other end of the same rod goes. the aspect is with steering wheel on left lock and looking in from the rear of the wheel on...

hi, i have had a little accident where something flicked off the motorway and smashed a hole in my headlight lense. the lights still work and i have taped up the hole for now. is a broken headlight lense a MOT failure?? are all w124 headlights the same? where is the best place to get a cheap...

im still leaking veg after replacing all the main fuel seal with viton although not the delivery valve seals. i think there might be a small leak from these but is not the main leak and i have noticed my mpg has dropped. has anyone solved their veg leak problems permenantely? silver saloon...?

first car i have had that has passed the MOT first time so big thumbs up to my 1994 W124 E300d multivalve i had 2 things that the guy pointed out to me which either he let me off becuase not serious yet or put as an advisory. 1. rear break pipe rusting. small section of the brake pipe starting...

took the car to the jet wash last night and stupidly gave it a spray through the grill without thinking and also quickly the underside of car. I know have belt squeel. It only went after a long drive when engine was hot and weather was warm, although i was in a traffic jam a long time when the...

this is for a 1994 W124 E300d Multivalve OM606 engine started to do a full write up but was too long and would add nothing to what you can already find. Insted i will post up the pictures i took and questions and points i can raise. 3 pics per post though. 1. my engine bay 2. with...

driving back on the motorway on monday when it was hot it was too much wind noise to have windows or sunroof open. when i turned the blower up to II it seemed to be making alot of noise but not much extra air was coming out no matter where it was directed. is there a pollen filter on W124s? if...

ok so i had my manifold off at the weekend (write up to follow when i have time) and changed plugs, cleaned it out (unbelievably grimey!), plugged EGR and changed the fuel lines. also got a new battery. it all went back together ok and runs fine and starts better so im happy with the work...

my battery has died so time to invest in a new one. Want a good strong battery as i am running on veg and the guys on the veg forum seem to say the best mods for running veg are good glow plugs and a strong battery to help starting when cold. what code of battery fit my car and what typre/make...

i have now changed all my fuel lines on W124 OM606 E300d and want to start it up with manifold off to heat engine up to remove one stubborn glow plug. However it doesnt want to start presumably because there is no fuel getting to the engine. I can see in the clear lines none of them are full...

i will be taking the manifold off this weekend. Which bolts (that i will be able to get to) should i treat with anti-seize the night before? I have 3in1 High performance penetrating spray and a can of plusgas. which one should i use to work its magic overnight? any tips for getting out...

meant to be good when running on veg. pretty hard to find but Allparts Automotive stock them as standard or can normally get them in in 24hr from another branch. Cost me £5.24+VAT per plug.

the centre insert or section of my back bumper and i want to replace just this bit rather than the whole bumper. can this section be seperated and if so how? is it easy or difficult to remove and refit the back bumper (hard to unbolt, lots of bolts, heavy when refitting, hard to line up...
