Hi All, Selling my Father's 1989 W124 230E Saloon as he is no longer able to drive it due to health reasons. He's the second owner and bought the car in 1994, so has owned it for 29 years. The mileage when he bought it was 26315 (still have the original bill of sale). At some point between 2005...

Managed to lose one of these down the M1 somewhere... looking to replace.

Hi guys, So the instrument cluster stopped illuminating on our W124 a few days ago. I didn't think it was the bulbs as I just replaced those 3 years ago. Pulled the cluster out yesterday and sure enough the metal contact behind the dimmer had cracked. Soldered it back up and all good. However...

Hi guys, Our rear door handle on the W124 saloon is sticking out... it's been a bit sticky recently but now when trying to push it in it just springs right out. The little metal bit on the rear end slides forwards towards the front of the car and pops out - is that normal or should it be...

Hi, I gave our W124 in to sort out a couple of problems that I hadn't got round to looking at myself - the drivers window operation was reversed (up went down and vice versa), and also the passenger door wouldn't lock/unlock with the key. Both have been sorted and picked the car up last night...

Hi guys, Just recently the indicators have stopped clicking inside the cabin when flicking up or down. They still flash and externally are still working. I had this problem last year and from memory I think that they weren't flashing either, so I replaced the relay with a new one from...

Hi guys, Had some work done on the car recently (1989 saloon) which involved taking bits apart including the door cards and mechanisms. When put back together it seems that the drivers window switch is reversed so now it goes up when down is pressed and vice versa. Is it a difficult job to...

Looking for a W124 kick panel (also called insulation by MB) on the passenger side, as ours seems to have mysteriously disappeared at some point. Preferably black though if it's grey it shouldn't make too much difference as you can't see it anyway. Here's a picture for reference of what's...

I bought a car about 6 weeks ago from a private trader and still haven't received the new log book. He says he posted it straight away and I have no reason to doubt that. On the DVLA website it says it should arrive in 4 weeks but to wait for at least 6 before contacting them. Should I...

Hi guys, Just noticed over the weekend that the plastic trim that sits in the passenger footwell under the glovebox is missing. No idea when or why. The last work that was done on this car was when the radiator and brake discs/pads were replaced - would any of those jobs require taking this...

Hi guys, Hope everyone is well. Quick question - last night we noticed the instrument cluster wasn't lighting up in our '89 W124. I think the right hand bulb has been gone for a while, with just the one on the left working. Also the rear number plate bulbs weren't lit, so proceeded to change...

Hi guys, Hope you're all well. Towards late Summer last year I picked up some service bits for our family W124 (1989 230E) with the intention of giving the fluid/filter/plug maintenance a go myself. Didn't quite get round to it but my Dad mentioned the other day that the coolant light has...

Hi, If a w124 only opens the particular front door or boot with the key, and none of the others, but you can hear the pump going for 20-25 seconds after turning the key... Does that sound like the pump needs replacing or a possible air leak somewhere?

Looking for W124 c/l pump, part number 124 800 06 48

Hi guys, just wanted your thoughts on this problem. On my dad's w124 he had a problem quite a few years ago where the odometer stopped working. A garage changed the instrument cluster but this didn't solve the problem. And now the rpm needle doesn't work and I'm pretty sure the fuel gauge isnt...

Hi guys, Found this site after a google :) My Dad has a tired '89 W124 saloon in need of some TLC. I think he bought it in '90 or '91 and it's still going strong mechanically and used as a daily driver. I'd like to give it some love for being the family car for 20+ years, so that's why I'm...
