Got the expected phone call from the police saying they've issued a definitive theft notice, and crime reference. I guess that's that. It's just not cool. I'll probably never own another 124 again.... I took really good care of this one as we have since day 1, when we bought car in 1989...

Bing, PM me if you do think of selling.... How much would you want? The police called yesterday saying they're still hopeful they might find something... I'm not holding out to much hope, but you never know....

Still no news from the police, sadly. i tell you one thing, if i had known w124s were being targeted by gangs than I would have gladly fitted mine with a tracker. I grew up with that car, and would love to get my hands round the b@st@rds neck. then call the police. It's true to say...

Hi all, Thanks for all your replies. nothing has turned up so far, and chances are looking increasingly skin. Some people seem to think that it's probably in a container to Malaysia or indonesia, possibly Africa. Another theory is that the car has been taken for scrap metal dealing...

here she is

the plates were private, 3MBP, but i'm pretty sure they've been changed by now. the colour is white, stolen in west London. the badge had been stolen on saturday night, so the car was without gun target.... sunroof doesn't function properly, and the cover for the central console is...

Hi all, It's with a very heavy heart that i have to write these words, confirming my 23 year old W124 300D has been stolen. I have cherished that car since we first bought it, all those years back... and now, some schmuck has decided they were going to steal it. I'm not going to rant...

hi, I just wanted to give a massive thank you to carat 3.6 amg. and indeed everyone else who chimed in to offer advice and help. carat, you've done an excellent job, and she's well on the way to getting back to her former glory. I'll post pics once the job's finished. truly, thank you...

Hi, d w124, would it be possible for to you PM me so we can chat about the trims/ mouldings? cheers

sorry for asking such a dunb question- but is there a difference between the mouldings and the trim?

sorry for the late reply, i've had broadband go off this weekend... thanks for that- i think in the end that's exactly what i'll end up doing. does anybody know what the difference is between the doors with mouldings and the ones without? and does the chrome trim come with the mouldings or...

100% agreed. thank you all for being so helpful, it's really cool!

Brilliant, thanks carat 3.6 i tried to PM you but it won't allow me to because i have less than 30 posts... maybe you could PM me and then i can answer?

I'm in west london, Hounslow. if you did.... that'd be a stroke of good luck, in an otherwise ****e week!

absolutely- i've stopped hyperventilating now and am looking at the job in hand! as for the cctv- wow. i've been going nuts trying to find something. All the private ones on the road were 'faulty' (my ****- they just don't want to get involved methinks) My only hope now is TFL's box...

thanks charles, what's even more heartbreaking for me is that I resprayed and fixed all the body work 2 years ago. She didn't have a scratch on her....

DSM10000, I have a witness to the accident, but no plates to ID him. The witness said he was driving erratically and swerving, so presumed drunk. Sadly, the insurance see it as a "fault" claim, and as such are being total ****ers. EDZ649, that's not too far! thanks once again. I'll PM you...

Hi, I'm in west london. The wings are damaged but I might be able to get away with some light panel work there... but both doors are twatted. I like the idea of a doner car- it would make things easy. EDZ649 Thank you so much for the offer!!!! whereabouts are you based?

you mean chassis wise? i took the car to be evaluated for the insurance, and they didn't mention anything wrong with anything else apart from the body work....

I have exactly the same problem on my W124. Had it all checked, it's all fine. but there's a slight grinding/knocking when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. I'm really curious to see what this is. Somebody on my previous thread stated that this could be the rubber seals on the...
