    Thinking of parting with my W124 E36 AMG saloon

    I've had this car for about 10 years but lately, it's hardly turned a wheel. Problem is I have absolutely no idea as to a fair price. It's a rare car and in pretty good condition for it's age. 27 years! It's on 118K and it will be serviced and MOTd' at my indy before sale. Any ideas on value...

    1995 W124 E36 AMG ASR lamp on / Traction control problem

    i don't know what system he was using. Not an MB official one. I expect it has, it's the right vintage, I think some of the loom had been changed prior to my purchasing it 10 years ago.

    1995 W124 E36 AMG ASR lamp on / Traction control problem

    My dear old E36 has a problem. The ASR lamp is illuminated and it seems the traction control is not working. You can now light up the rear tyres like a crazed Clarkson. My usual indy diagnosed an overvoltage protection relay ( part 000 540 67 45) but that has not worked. It's drives almost...

    Mercedes Benz parts department can't supply an alternator.

    Desperately trying to buy a new alternator for my 1993/4 G 300 petrol Just spent 20 minutes in my local MB (Solihull)who tell me that they no longer supply this part. Laddo gave me a number for the "Classic" parts dept of MB Poole. They close at 14:00 apparently and according to the "press...

    Radio keeps cutting out - alternator issue perhaps?

    I have a 1993 W463 petrol G Wagen, fitted with a newish, subtle, Blaupunkt Toronto radio. Lately, the radio has been turning off by itself accompanied by a whine from the alternator and a rise in the speed of the heater blower fan. Then after a ransom period of time it comes back on again...

    W124 E36 AMG oil related problem

    I'm in Shirley, just south of Brum, near J4 of the M42. This episode has made me begin to wonder about the long term viability of maintaining old cars without a reliable spannerist on hand. Seriously considering getting this car fixed and having a parting of the ways.

    W124 E36 AMG oil related problem

    My indy has now removed tank / cleaned it / flushed system. Yellow light still on. I'm not keen on driving it at the moment in case I do more damage. I have suggested my indy take a look at the oil cooler and replace rad if required. Thanks for all your suggestions
