Hi all I am thinking of moving on from my 1991 300CE. Can anyone give some advice re it's value, before I make my decision! Basically, it's a 1991 300CE in Anthracite Grey. Interior is cream cloth. I have updated the wheels to the 8-hole alloys from the E Coupe (although will probably...

My W124 CE suddenly developed a worrying "clonking" from the back end. It was quite hard to describe but it sounded like something either knocking the inside of the fuel tank/body panel or perhaps a loose suspension component. After putting up with it for a couple of days - and being unable...

I am looking for one and perhaps two of the following size 8 hole alloy for a W124; 6½J x 15 H2 with an offset of ET44 If anyone can help please e-mail or PM me. I am in Yorkshire but can collect within a reasonable distance. One of the alloys needs to be in reasonable condition (i.e. no...

My 300CE seems to operate "warmed up" at around 50 degrees and hardly ever gets up to 80. Is this normal? It seems a bit cold to me. Any advice on what I should be looking at? Could the thermostat be stuck and if so would this be making my cold starts difficult? Adam

Does anyone have a seatbelt presenter relay from a 1991 Coupe W124? The part number is 124 820 5026. Cheers Adam

My 1991 300CE starts absolutely fine, first "ping" of the key and no need for throttle when warm - or at least not stone cold. However, when starting in the morning or after it has been sat for a few hours it "churns" for a few seconds (not many, 4 or 5) and then bursts into life if I give the...

I have recently purchased a very nice 1991 W124 300CE. It's a cracker engine-wise but has a couple of electrical glitches that I need to sort and hope that someone can help me with. First, the front passenger window doesnt work at all. I have tried swapping the switch with the working drivers...

Buying a new house means that my 1998 C280 has to go - can't fit all the kids in so have to keep the Scenic! It's black, with black leather interior. Fully kitted with Climate Control, folding rear seats (its a saloon), factory sunroof, 5 speed auto etc. Basically this came with all the...

Yet another problem this week! The passenger side rear door lock has decided to stop working. It unlocks OK but instead of locking it gives a sigh (noticeable hiss of air) and fails to go down with other locks. Is this likely to be just a failed vacuum connection or is it more serious? How hard...

Cananyone reccomend a good supplier of new and recon / 2nd hand merc spares? Preferably with an internet site and that does mail order. I have seen mention of "Mercman" but haven't managed to track them down. Specifically at the moment I need a heater blower motor for a 1998 C280 W202 - but...

My C280 (V6) is having a bad month! Just fixed my aircon blower and now I am getting a metallic clattering sound from the engine at idle. It goes away as soon as any revs applied and then the engine seems smooth and quiet as ever. I have tried to hear where it is coming from but it could be...

My 1998 C280 has the full climate control system fitted. It was great in the summer - kept everything nice and cool. But, in the winter it seems to struggle to keep the car demisted. Also, the fan speed even when on manual and full speed seems very low - a gentle "waft" of air rather than a...

I am looking to replace at least one pair and possibly all 4 of my current tyres (205/55 ZR 16's) as the weather is getting slippy and they are looking almost semi-slicks now! (car is a C280 Sport) A couple of questions; 1. Can anyone reccomend any good dealers in or near Yorkshire -...

Not so long ago, all brake pads were made with Asbestos. Not the friendliest substance but they didn't throw nearly so much dust and also lasted longer. I was wondering if anyone knows where these old type of pads can still be purchased? Obviously they must be banned in the EU, but maybe there...

My C class Sport has the leather seats and unfortunately has no map pockets on the back. The only place I have found to leave the map is at the side of the seat where invariably it flies forward if I have to brake hard. Not ideal! I looked in the accessory catalogue and found the following two...

SOLD NOW! Good condition, light metallic blue, 136k miles, auto. *** NOW WITH 12 MONTHS MOT *** Having just bought a C280 I need to get this off my drive! It's a great runner and I am only looking for about £900 - but make me an offer! Engine and gearbox strong. Bodywork basically good -...

Having just bought myself a nice 1998 C280, I am looking to part company with my much loved 1987 190E 2.0 auto. It's in pretty good shape,a few bodywork blisters but nothing terrible. Drives great and has really clean interior. It's done 136k and I have lost count of number of owners but it's a...
