My unreliable-starter coupe is probably worth more worth more dead than alive so I have a 'breaking' thread too but I'm lazy and sentimental so I'd love to see this going to someone to fix it or swap a less temperamental engine into but I'm a realist so know these are just not as well loved as...

My unreliable-starter coupe is worth more dead than alive so gather round and feast on it's flesh... I'm lazy and sentimental so I'd love to see this going to someone to swap a less temperamental engine into (I have a 102k mile 2.2 engine and 4 speed auto box if anyone wants a project) but...

I'm looking for help with the best way, either the official procedure or the best method with the benefit of experience, to drain the hydraulic fluid on an R129 SL500. It looks dirty compared to the fresh fluid and I have a lot of fresh fluid sitting from an S124 I bought a few years ago that...

Not sure how I've managed not to notice before but I saw this today when I opened the fuel filler: I'm not sure if it's supposed to have something in the boxes on the bottom sticker or not, or if all cars had this but the sport chassis optioned cars had numbers in there. How can I tell if my...

Hi, My 'spare' 722.5 auto box has been sitting around for months and is for sale now. It was from my old S124 (1993 320TE) that fell prey to rust. The gearbox was rebuilt by Penn Autos in Wolverhampton at the start of the year when it had 172k on it and the car only did a hundred miles or so...

Hi, Hoping someone can help identifiy a part I've come across while breaking a 320TE, it was in the front passenger footwell on a metal plate. The part number is 124 545 62 32 and it says E-GAS on the cover. After a bit of Googling I have apparently good but conflicting suggestions that this is...

Hi, I have a set of MB-tex seats in my saloon just now that look great but that have no support. I have two sets of cloth seats with either 103k or 118k on them that have loads more support. Can I remove the MB-Tex and put it onto the cloth seats or am I just going to ruin two sets of seats by...

Hi, Looking for a hand with the duovalve and associated blower controls. It's a non-AC car. The air blows hotter than hell in any position other than the very top at the 'MIN'/blue position. I mean when you rotate the roller until it clicks in the highest position at blue, which seems to lock...

Hi, I'm breaking a '93 220TE auto in smoke silver with cloth interior. It's an auto box with 104K miles and tons of documentation verifying that. The car is just outside Edinburgh. The VIN is WDB1240822F262188 if anyone wants to check the spec, the reg is L370OSR (if that's useful to anyone)...

I got a decent, very cheap 320TE recently but it has a 4 speed auto rather than the (potentially horrible) five speed. Is there any way that this was the factory fit 'box? (The VIN is WDB1240922F344543 if anyone can check) I thought the standard box would have been the five speed? It's got tons...

Hi, I have a '92 320TE, it's in very good shape for what I paid for it but it has the well documented problems with reverse gear. It's a 722.5 'box. I have an auto 'box specialist ready to do a freebie 'check and report' on it but I need to get the box out and onto a pallet. By and large, it's...

I'm in the middle of swapping my nice but humble cloth interior for a really clean leather set from a low mileage car that was being broken for the drivetrain. Front seats are in, rear seat doesn't seem to fit. It looks to be a different design when compared with the cloth seat. The difference...

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the front interior light in a W124? Mine is an '89 300e, if that makes a difference. I'm looking for an ignition switched 12v supply to run a camera I have mounted behind the interior mirror. I've had a cable (badly) run around the edge of the windscreen...

Any colour, any material, as long as it's not collapsed or otherwise knackered. Can I put an email or phone number in a wanted ad? I'll edit later if it's allowed.
