Many thanks for that, will get my mechanic to check the condition of the flex discs.

Hi all, I've noticed a slight vibration when the car (W124 320) is idling in Park. It isn't constant and seems to be more apparent when the engine is hot. Whilst not severe it is noticeable inside the car and the doors can be seen to shake slightly when open. Revs do not fluctuate. The...

Thanks, I'd love to say that I got my hands greasy in all of this but my mechanical knowledge goes as far as undoing the petrol filler cap ! I'm a bit OCD about keeping my cars clean though so can take the credit for the shine ;)

It does drive/ride like an absolute dream. Took it to France last year and their super smooth roads really show just how well these cars are put together, no creaks, rattles, very little road noise. Trouble is they're so relaxing that I kept wanting to nod off ! The leather wasn't too bad...

Hi All, I've been a regular visitor to the forum for a couple of years so these photo's are well overdue. The work below has now all been completed which only leaves a new accelerator cable left to do ! - new shocks and springs all round - wiring loom repaired (done by Tony Leach...

Hi Nick, The car does not have cruise. It's going into the good guys at SS Motors on Friday for shocks and springs so I'll see if they can test it using the multimeter. I've been given an indicative price of 80 quid for a used replacement so may go down that route. Not had much luck...

Thx Alf230, I wasn't aware these units could be refurbed. I guess it will be cheaper than buying a replacement ? The car is driving absolutely fine but its over revving in Park at a very steady 1500rpm when hot or cold. I've given the inside a good clean out but if anything its got worse...

Hi All, I have W124 320 Coupe and need an new throttle body - idle actuator. Part number is 0001416525 If anyone has one for sale please contact me asap. [email protected] Many thx, Ollie

Thx DW, that does look a good one for the price but I've just done the deal this morning on one in my preferred colour choice - blue/black. :bannana: It's just had the head gasket done, FSH, Sportline chassis, bodywork and interior are mint. Just a touch over 100k miles. I'll post some...

Cheers for all your help. There's a very tasty looking E36 on pistonheads. I'd stretch to the 6k asking price if was blue/black but green just isn't my cuppa tea :( I've found one that hasn't had the engine loom done. Does anyone know the cost of replacing it ? Is it dealer only or will a...

Thanks guys. May have found one. :) Although at 4.5k its a bit over budget and a bit overpriced in my opinion - Just over 100k miles on a 93 plate, sport suspension, good history. Its got the 5 spd auto box. I'm also looking at a 95 plate with a 4 spd box. Are there any major issues to...

Many thanks Brigadier. I may well have a closer look at that one. I've not idea how to tell whether the wiring loom has been replaced or whether its on its way out. I guess it will be documented if its been replaced though. Thanks again for the advice.

Hi All, This is my first post but its this forum that has finally pushed me over the edge ! I've decided to take the plunge and hunt down an 320 coupe so if anyone is selling theirs, please let me know. I've trawled through the classifieds on just about every site I can think of but to...
