    The forking mirror

    Flumoxed by how to replace the interior mirror on a W124 I came up with this trick which may be of use to others. You take a table fork, cut off three of the four prongs, compress the mirror spring in a vice (gently) and insert the prong in the gap at the end of the spring where the brass stud...

    W124 duo valve screw

    Just managed to shear one of these whilst reassembling after a duo valve clean and heater matrix flush on a 1994 E300D estate. It's a M3 x 45mm and like a wood screw, but engaging in plastic. Torx/star pan head. Does anyone have a duo valve which is u/s which might provide one ? The duo valve...

    W126 420SEL M116.965 no spark

    I wonder if anyone has ever come across a break out box/cable for the EZL module - EZL/AKR adaptor cable (117 589 01 21 00). The WIS (15-541 Testing electronic ignition system with variable ignition characteristics and anti-knock control (EZL/AKR) - page 2) suggests the use of this, and I am...

    W203 Battery Alternator red warning

    However the battery is showing 13.3 V key off, and 14.1 when running, warm after a half hour drive, which suggests it's in good order and the alternator is charging doesn't it? Any suggestions welcome. Loth to go scratching about underneath in this weather to remove the alternator, esp since...

    W210 Key remote

    Mayday mayday mayday. My d in law's key has come to pieces in her hand (the kids are implicated I think!!). It still starts the car of course, but will not work the central locking. It's in several pieces, one of which is the triangular-ish circuit board which does the business. I have not seen...

    Fuel economy optimum cruise

    Following on from the 220cdi fuel con thread, *** suggests keeping a diesel under 2200rpm for best economy (thx ***). Seems about right, but I had always understood that for pure economy the best speed was the lowest you could run at in top gear. If you actually want to get anywhere - i.e. time...

    CEL reset E220Cdi, W211.206, OM646.961

    Whilst fitting my EGR delete circuit this morning I inadvertently tried to switch on whilst the relay box 'M' connector plug was out. Result CEL light. There's no issues with the car and the EGR shunt seems to work fine, but I think there is a transient fault logged as a result of my error. Does...

    Speedo misread

    My E250D estate, LHD, WDB124186 type, has a speedo which consistently overreads by 20kph. Interestingly the speed markings on the dial begin at 20kph, and the hand moves as soon as the car does. Question answered, but not problem solved. The cable seems to be the same LHD to RHD, the speedo p/n...

    Steering wheel - **** up on the column front

    I'm in the process of swapping the cream leather 7 seat interior from a RHD 124.092 E320T into a LHD 124.186 E250DT. All was going so well; new interior out of the donor car and the donor car ready for the crusher. Just needed a steering wheel back in it to drive it to the scrappy, so decided to...

    W124 standard Injector Pump ??

    Well; a frustrating afternoon. Changed the more accessible 3 (32, 65, 86) of the flexible pipes (bubbles visible in the old ones) and renewed the prefilter and main fuel filter. Total pain to start despite filling the filter with diesel, and now on (a) charge. I am aware of the keep on cranking...

    W123 M102 Fan removal

    Anyone know how to remove the fan from a M102 W123 230E UK spec? Needed to access the water pump which is leaking badly from the bottom of the casing. The dimples are just that - moulded depressions in the fan. The rusty looking studs are circular - not allen screw - with nothing at the bottom...

    W203 Diff oil

    About to change the diff oil in my son's 220CDi W203, 2005. The manual is silent on the spec. The US sites seem to imply Mobil 1 75w90, and the local dealer has said this too. Can't understand therefore why everyone says, and I use, 85W90 in my 244k mile W126 and W211, and the 85W90 is said to...
