My MB knowledge is very limited to W124 post facelift E300 diesels but I have always wanted an auto and they are rarer than hens teeth here. I have been offered a saloon pre facelift 320E auto with AC and full leather at a not unreasonable 1000 euros which down here is a steal believe me. It was...

Hi, I have a problem on my W124 with A/C. All of a sudden the centre vents won't blow any air. The side vents are blowing even more cold air at the moment because the centres obviously aren't playing ball. I had a few issues recently where when driving at speed up hill the centres would start to...

I have posted about this before but the problem has returned. I have a cold to warm rough idle problem that disappears once the engine is hot. The rough idling feels like it's only running on 4 or 5 pots. Once above 1000 rpm it's smooth running on all 6 and pulls as well as a 300 non turbo will...

Having a right nightmare down here, all we want to do is re seal leaking delivery valves and cannot obtain the splined tool 617 589 010 900. The dealers around here refuse to sell me the part saying it is only for service personnel use!! They sold me the seals springs and copper washers though...

I raised this subject last year http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/engine/102155-e300-diesel-intermittent-rough-idle.html Now I have a problem similar to that on another car but only when it's nose down or after coming to a halt level or nose down. When it's started nose up it's lovely and smooth...

I need to replace the noisy and knackered shock absorber strut and possibly and likely the idler but need to get the belt off first. Can anyone tell me the procedure to do this, ie firstly how do you remove the belt? Many thanks.

Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I have glow plug issues and was planning to take the manifold off over Christmas and do what's necessary, up until last Saturday the car would start after a bit of cranking and smoke and after 10 secs or so all well. However, on Monday night after the car had been...

1971 MERCEDES-BENZ 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet LHD I mean it's gorgeous but a quid under a million?

Am re posting this as I mucked it up first time round. Found this pipe lying near the battery, which is on the right hand side of my car, it's left hand drive, when sucked it opens/closes the valve on the air inlet tube, so it must need to be connected to something, any ideas? Have some links...

Hi sorry for the lack of photo evidence, broken camera, but whilst under the bonnet today I saw a black plastic pipe (approx 3mm od) loose near the bulkhead by the battery, right hand side of the car, (it's left hand drive). Sucking on the end of this pipe causes the air intake valve to...

I heard this the other day on the radio and nearly drove off the road laughing. To be honest it isn't so much funny as barmy!!:confused::confused::doh::eek: http://www.typicallyspanish.com/news/pu ... 0408.shtml

Hi and a belated happy new year to you. Have a problem which baffles me. When the engine idles sometimes it´s as smooth as silk the next it seems as though it´s running on 5 or even 4. It is fine as soon as the revs increase and driving the car normally is ok as well, no problems under load...

I'm looking after a neighbours 2005 W211 E320CDI whilst they are back in the UK. He's asked me to look at whether there is a solution to the drawer above the ashtray which should open with the chrome strip under the hazard switch but it won't and all you can hear is the sound of a small motor...

Having f¡tted a new Alpine iPod head unit, I have been trawling all the old threads about replacing the dash speakers with various alternatives, Rainbow being favourites, thing is before I go down that route, what's the procedure for removing the grilles:dk: don't want to muck the dash...

Just ordered full set of 4 new springs for the W124 E300D. Genuine MB items, from the local MB dealer here in Estepona. I have fitted them myself, now the car is much better both in ride height and ride quality than the dodgy aftermarket lowered ones that were on there previously.:bannana: The...

Yesterday, took the E300diesel for a spin and gave the windscreen a quick wash and wipe, no problem, then turned the switch to give it a quick mop up and nothing, no wipers and no washers, then when we arrived at the toll for the motorway the window wouldn't drop. It will if the door is open but...

First a belated happy new year to you all. While you lot were having all that snow we have had monsoon like weather here and the car got left out in it for 3 or 4 days as we had a garage full of other stuff. Anyway, drove it for the first time for a while on Saturday and immediately me and the...

I know this has been covered before and I have tried searching the old posts but have failed to find the references to the calculations chart.:doh::dk: I can work out the points from my build spec if I know where to find the chart. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be...

My computer crashed big time last week and after having it repaired I have lost all my saved bookmarks for the Russian parts and info site which I always use for part numbers. Would appreciate it if someone can just give me a link back to it then I can navigate my way through it all again. As...
