Mileage to be honest I don't really know yet; I guess about 10 k miles a year at the moment. I know the diesel is of course more expensive in theory but to be fair it's the diesel tax over here that's the killer - double petrol and for a GLK 180 a month. I also think the petrol may be a better...

Hi all. I live in Amsterdam now after many Mercs in the UK (r129's and w123's plus modern ones) so have a car choice some will be unfamiliar with being lucky enough to be out the UK and have the choice of LHD GLK's. However, engines are the same and both seem to have their issues; I'm torn...

I never saw one in the UK (glad to see another former Borough person in here; I was on long lane) but there are a few out here in Amsterdam, quite surprising considering the Dutch don't spend a lot on cars due to the tax. Mind you, I've not driven one yet so it might be horrible.. I was...

I guess seeing as it's an overseas rather than a UK model then the answer's no then! I'll post some pics and a view when I likely get one so you have some form of reference. Or I'll buy a BMW or an Evoque! Best, J

Evening all. Some time since my last posts having sold my SL (to the mother in law!). I've been missing my Merc fix since running an old e34 beem, which whilst it's been a good car really isn't up to old Merc quality standards. So, I now live in Amsterdam and am fortunate enough to be looking...

Just mooching through the forum. Major plus one on Sita motors. Always take my motors there, excellent work which always stands the test of time. Ask for Hardev the owner. Top man.

Odd the way some cars gel and some don't. The BMW won :-/. !! I think in the longevity stakes the Merc would win hands down though! I'll see if I can find it, will scan and email it to you - it's from an old magazine I've got.

Hey! How's the new W124 going? Did you swap interiors etc in the end? I hope it's working out well after all the journeys! Yes, my BMW's going brilliantly thanks. It's about the same age as yours and indeed in a period road test I've got your 230E and my BMW went head to head :-) It's...

Hmmm. I think that quite a few people have had this experience. His relaxing tones whilst imparting terrifying advice are enough to scare the crap out of anyone! I've calmed down a bit now, but all he's doing is making what's a great car seem a terrifying prospect and possibly putting people off...

I think he's clearly misguided and should keep his snout well out.

Hmmmm. To be honest I think he needs to keep his nose out. I got very annoyed when I first read Jaymanek's post and decided it was best not to vent publicly. However! Mark is well know in MB Club circles and very well thought of. Indeed his help, advice and stock of parts is very...

Mike that's a great car; I have the BMW equivalent in an immaculate E34. I loved the colour of the interior, by unusual and I've never seen one before. I bet you polish it as nearly as much as I do! Enjoy, very jealous! Few left that are that are that good it has to be said. J

Not spouting making a point! Most of us don't bother with a calculator all the time noting mileage etc. In the real world there's little difference that a change in driving style or a switch with a bit of town for a bit of country which means mpg will be relatively similar. I think ADS will...

I have to agree they're much more of a cruiser, sporty they aren't and they're also very heavy so the bushes must all be in good condition. It's a bit like driving a powerful oil tanker without a roof.. If you want a sporty drive then buy another car. If you want quality, long after the price...

How about a 300sl-24? Or a bit too old for you? Much better engine than the v6 IMHO. Great at high revs although ultimately a 500 would be best!

Rather late update I know but just realised I hadn't updated! *ducks* I've bought an E34 BMW 525i SE. 1990, 91k from new and complete and full BMW history, looks very close to new and goes very well after an Inspection II and new viscous coupling. I would post a pic but that's upset you all...

As you're not allowed to say that I can't tell what you're saying! I've looked on car and classic, classic cars for sale, ebay, all MB related websites such as this, MBOC and the "other" owners club, as well as the specialist dealers, including CC Benz, Avantgarde etc but all the specialist...

Thanks, PM sent.

:-) Glad that we're not chasing the same cars LOL! If I see any nice ones I'll let you know!

London. It's a car to keep me interested whilst I'm looking for a new job, a hobby car to tinker with shall we say. Where's the blue one and is it actively on the market? J
