I know, I know, I should have checked We have bought a really nice W169 A Classe - to use maybe 6 times a year and kept at a small flat that we have. When I got it how I could not fold the mirrors - and could not get it in the garage - (we have a garage built in the 70's and it is less...

I have a 300TE Estate - 1990 - Single cam engine When I "turn the key" the engine fires once then dies and then will not (fire), start - maybe once a week it will fire and continue to run and I can drive the car.........but every other day it will not fire at all and the engine will not run...

Auto Electrician - Hampshire - Winchester Area Can anyone recommend one Preferably mobile I have a problem with the Sigma Alarm fitted on the 300CE, (now sold but I promised the new owner I would get it looked at and either fixed or replaced), plus I need the wiring sorted on an old radio...

I would be very grateful if someone could let me have the exact procedure for changing the auto trans oil on a 300CE W124 1993 A local mechanic will do this for me - he has the ramps etc., so the job will be a lot easier. Can anyone confirm that I need around 6.2 litre of Titan ATF 5005 - plus...

Not used my 1993 300CE for a few weeks It has now started to stall now and again when coming to a stop, (at a road junction or roundabout) - only does it when hot Feels electrical - as though it is not firing on one cylinder - clears itself when I restart and rev the engine - but it can take a...

W124 - 8 hole Alloys Just a few questions: How "good" do the Alloys have to be to make it worthwile to have them refurbished so that problems do not come back after a few years. i.e. is bad corrosion impossible to treat and cure Can a "mobile" service be any good or is it better to pay a...

E55 W124 Coupe "N" Reg Just saw a W124 Coupe with an E55 badge on the back here in France UK reg and not looking too smart - Silver with AMG wheels Are they rare?...................what are they like It looked as if it could be an "ex pats" cars still on UK plates as it did not look too well...

The front springs, wishbones and ball joints have just been replaced on my 300TE. A few questions: 1). The front "ride height" seems high - the garage that did the work, (an MOT Centre), told me that the height would "settle down" after a few miles......is this true? 2). Does anyone know what...

Another question to keep all you W124 guys busy How are the roof strips fixed to the car It looks as if the end pieces should lever off and maybe the strips would them slide off as if they were on runners screwed to the car. But I think that I read on a Forum that they were "bonded" i.e...

Hi, me again, W124 Steering -a few symptoms from my 300TE Estate Steering a little stiff - ish When driving in a straight line at speed, tear end seems planted but car moves a little from side to side and needs constant, (well regular), correction Steering does not self...

W124 Auto Transmission Fluid Is there any difference between the stuff that you (should), put in the 300TE, (M103 engine), and the E280, (M104 engine). The colour of the stuff in my 300CE is a clear light brownish, whereas the stuff in my E280 was red Cheers

Is there a schematic somewhere to describe the Aircon system on a W124 Mine, on my 300CE Coupe is not great.......no cold air really, so I will need to do some work. What's the best Workshop manual for the W124..........presumably not Haynes? Also any good books around on the W124...... Cheers

Just thought that I would post a few photos that I took this weekend. Light was about 19:00 hrs Sunday evening in Hampshire (i.e. not too bright)

Morning I live near Winchester and need a good, sympathetic Painter to do some work on my W124 Estate.......i.e. spray the roof. I am happy with a "one man band" as long as he does a good job and is reasonably priced..........but will consider any type of business, but I have found the larger...

The Bonnet release pull handle had broken on my 300CE. I bought a new one on EBay - £4.75 - made by Febi in Germany - looked good. (when I told them about the problem, they gave me an immediate refund) I replaced the part and the first time that I "pulled it" it snapped The metal catch on the...

It's on Piston Heads!!!! who can be the first to guess what? Maybe it has been pointed out before on the Forum.........so if it has sorry .I have just not seen it

Should I change the front indicators on my 1993 300CE from amber to white. Quite cheap off Ebay It seems to be the fashion...........presumably it is done to make the car look better............but then it is not original! What do all you Coupe owner think?

I am really getting into these "older" Mercs I have been offered a good 280CE for just over £2,000 What are they like? - I am used to the W124s and later but have never driven a W123 What should I look out for apart from the obvious body rust, interior wear and tear and usual engine "noises"...
