Time has been called on my S124; it was cheap, I've had a good 10 months/8000 miles out of it but to keep it going for another year, Colin Ferns has quoted a minimum of £2k - that's just the essentials, not the rusty wings & the like. It's got some good optional extras (A/C, sunroof...

I've just had my 3-pointed star jump off the bonnet while cruising at high speed! I don't believe it's due to anyone messing with it while it was parked, and I'd already had a 2 hour drive first-thing this morning during which time the star showed no signs of being loose. Is it normal for...

After umming and ahhing (and getting screwed on a potential replacement), I've finally seen sense & I'm keeping my S124. However, as is always the way with these things I described the car to someone as being totally reliable, then jumped in it & tried to turn on the blower for some fresh air to...

Wheels available again after the last winning bidder (Good_Thinking) sniped in the closing seconds, made contact barely within the 72 hour limit to arrange a collection day (but not time, although I was available all day anyway) then failed to show up or get in touch ever again! Due to the...

After 9 months of Mercedes fun, it's time to end the indulgence. I like my Merc but I don't love it, and as such it's not had an easy life with me; I'm also used to older noisier cars, so I've not noticed as a couple of extra squeaks and rattles have snuck in on this car. I don't have the time...

My S124 E200 has developed an exhaust blow; obviously the manifold isn't going to be the same as on 6 cylinder models, but how much of the rest of the system is the same as on other 124 models? I only ask because there's been a few 124s going cheap or breaking recently, and as my car isn't...

AMG alloy wheels 7J x 15 for MB Mercedes W124/W201/W202 on eBay (end time 18-May-11 18:04:37 BST) 10% cash discount *or* free delivery within the M25 for MBClub members. :thumb:

I can't find anything in the manual about the N/S mirror only moving horizontally, but when I move the joystick up/down the mirror doesn't move. Is this because it's wide-angle and therefore doesn't need to move up/down, or do I have a broken wire somewhere?

Right, I've just been to see some friendly chaps at MB Croydon, and I can (if the numbers match up) get a new remote keyfob/doorkey for a mere £185 inc. VAT... But they don't cut any keys on-site so as I don't have a code for the replacement ignition barrel that's been fitted at some point...

I've seen suggestions for Wright-Tech in Sidcup, Church over Bromley/Beckenham way, and Tony Purslow in Guildford, but I was wondering if there might be anyone reliable located between them, in the Brixton-Croydon corridor?

I bought my W124 with a dead remote keyfob, and printed instructions from links on this site (how I found you!) about how to solder the switch back down. I know my limits, so I got my brother to do it for me - he's studying robotics at Uni with an eye on joining JPL, so he really knows his...

I am looking for a full set of good condition pre-facelift hubcaps, 15" diameter, suitable for a W124 - the old-style design of a large disc with an outer ring and recessed a 3-point star in the middle. Watching a set on FleaBay but if I can give my money to a club member I'd rather do that.

Apologies if I screw this up, first attempt at selling through the forum. Set of four 7x15" AMG Monoblock II wheels, bought for my W124 but I've decided to stick with my steels - call me crazy, but I actually like hubcaps! :D Anyway, pictures here: Dropbox Gallery - AMGwheels Going by...

The driver's bolster is beginning to show signs of wear, so I'd like to find a way of fixing or replacing it. It's not electrically adjustable. Alternatively if there's either a pair of fronts, or a full interior in cream leather near to London I might be interested in doing a larger-scale...

As the title says, the heatshield over my exhaust isn't secured in any way; it's not come off completely, but it does rattle forwards and dip under the car, and I'm worried about damaging it on a speedbump or maybe even catching it and dragging both it and the exhaust off the back of the...

The "bulb blown" light keeps coming on in my S124 when I turn on the sidelights, but all 6* bulbs I can see as belonging to that circuit are illuminating. If I use the P< or >P switch positions, the bulb warning light doesn't come on. Any ideas? * front n/s, front o/s, rear n/s, rear o/s, 2x...

Right, I know I've not had my S124 E200 for very long but I'm really liking it... However, I know of an S124 E280 that will be coming available soon, and I'm tempted by the step up in power and (hopefully) refinement from the 6-cylinder engine, so I'm thinking about selling the E200 to buy the...

Came back from work yesterday to find some git had stuck a "scrap cars bought for cash" leaflet under the wiper of my Allegro. To say I was annoyed is putting it mildly; this is a car parked on the road, with a year's tax on it, and only a small spot of rust bubbling on one door - I'm in the...

MERCEDES 190e,190d W201,w202 c class AMG ALLOY WHEELS on eBay (end time 17-Oct-10 11:48:42 BST) Considering the state of the rims in the pics, is that price justified?

The problem with buying a used car is the little things that have gone wrong before, that have been on the "to-do" list of the previous owner but still not been done. My load cover has a "broken" clip for attaching to the tailgate. I say "broken" because almost all the pieces are present and...
