Hi all, I haven't been very active here of late owing to the fact that I parked up my 300TD a couple of years ago. It has been started and run regularly (every couple of weeks) however I have now noticed some electrical issues, briefly as follows: 1. Rear lights very dim, both tailights...

Hi All, The heater fan in my W124 300TD Estate (1992) is just about to give up the ghost..oh what timing! Anyway, I've done a search on the forum and it seems to be a relatively common failure item. My question is how does one set about removal of offending motor and are replacements...

Hi All, Following on from an earlier thread regarding problems switching off my 300TD, it appears that either the shut-off valve is faulty or there is an intake of air somewhere in the vacuum system leading from the ignition switch. Can anyone give me a few general pointers on how to...

:dk: Hi All, My 1992 W124 300TD (OM603 engine) has this evening decided to keep running even when the ignition is switched off and the key removed. I am aware that this may a vacuum related problem but I am unsure how to diagnose and rectify it - can anyone help? Thanks

Thread resurrection! Does anyone have the MB part no for the connectors for the SLS fluid pipe. Can source the pipe ok but having trouble getting my hands on the connectors. Thanks

No, the glow plugs haven't been changed in my ownership. And now that you mention it sometimes the glowplug light doesn't illuminate when the ignition is switched on.

Hi All, I've noticed over the past few weeks that my 1992 300TD (245,000 miles) is emitting a large amount of whiteish smoke immediately after starting from cold (especially first thing in the morning) I've also noticed that it idles erratically for the first couple of minutes but tends to...

Hi All, My 300TD's A/T is not as smooth on upshifts/downshifts as it once was. I'm going to change the FLuid and Filter, is this doable by an average DIYer or would I need to send the car to a mechanic? Also, what fluid is recommended for this gearbox? Thanks.

Hi All, I'm thinking of changing my current MB-Tex interior to a Leather interior. I would be interested in a full set of seats, front and rear, in cream/mushroom if possible. Thanks

Yes, the extra weight was quite noticeable and the steering did lighten up nicely I must admit. Having said that, the car seemed well capable of handling it with no grumbling from either the engine or gearbox.

Yeah 850kg....paying the price now though:o

Thanks, Where would one get the connectors and pipe you speak of?

Thanks, Is the pipe rubber or steel? Pardon my ignorance but what exactly are ASD connectors? Also, what is the correct specification for the SLS fluid? The leak was relatively steady for a while but has since stopped - possibly because it has run dry.

Hi All, In a bit of a quandry here.:o:o Had to bring home some floor tiles on Saturday in my estate with a total weight of 850kg. When I got home I noticed the car sitting very low at the back and when I looked underneath there was a steady dribble of oil/fluid from underneath the car...

The car is running well but is very rattly/tappety at low revs, moreso when the engine is warm. I have a set of replacement tappets to install when I get a chance, I thought I might as well do the injectors at the same time.

Hi all, I have been advised to change the injectors in my 1992 300TD owing to it's mileage (240,000 miles) I have sourced the injectors and would like to carry out the work myself, is there anything I should watch out for or any tips and tricks? Thanks

Thanks, would be very interested in these. Can you advise price etc. Tom

God almighty, what exactly is involved in 'braking a car for spear parts' - is it some kind of medieval emergency stop or something :crazy:
