sounds like the discs have warped.

23 miles each way travelling into boring old slough. Though not for long. Today is my last day. Emigrating to the USA in September, as my work visa has finally come through.

A really Nice solid car and no rusts!! you just instinctively know that these 124's will just keep on going till eternity.

That's right you have to change them both as one will look duller than the other. PM me the bulb type, ie D2S or D2R. I usually stock the OSRAM makes and probably have some in stock. I doubt you will get the shock. MB's normally scare people this way. I think they charge around an hr's...

I guess it is not really a necessity in the UK. However, if you guys were elsewhere than you would definately insist on having this. My mate was posted to Egypt a few years back and they have frequent sand storms. Literally the front of cars would be stripped bare of all paintwork. The bra...

oh, I think it must have been for the R129. I assumed it was this model.

yes. I remember seeing a video on this, can't remember who posted it, but it was a link to another site? It was posted I think about a couple of weeks ago. I'll have a look for it. Have you tried searching in the how to section?

Agree the SL60 is a great car. BUT:) ... Personally, if you're looking for a real bombproof car, than I would say its the W124 220CE. Bombproof engine, bombproof body and still turns heads:bannana: :bannana:

Sorry Forest Angel, I think I got the wrong end of the stick... From my trading days, I was under the impression that you were an investor who deals in selling stocks, by artificially inflating the price of a company's share so as to sell it at a profit. thanks for clarifying.

its in such a bad state even the engine has disintegrated. Not sure if it is restorable!! OR better still worth the time and money, but could be way wrong.

it doesn't look pink?

sorry to to hear of your ordeal. Glad you are ok and feeling alot better today. Its times like these that you really take the time to value life and be so grateful, as its easy to ignore the important things as we are always bogged down in our daily hectic lives. Sorry to be philosophical.

Panason1c I know it was a thought, but to be honest, the car is a lemon. Even if they discounted the price, the fact remains that the car will still spend more time in the garage than on the roads!! It would also not be prudent to sell the car afterwards and let some poor bugger deal with...

Agreed, Silver and cream is not an ideal combination. You could suggest that you are prepared to wait for 'x' number of days/weeks for them to find you the spec you want and if nothing found than ask for a full refund, and buy from another dealer. I'm sure that will creat an urgency for them to...

I very much doubt you will have any problems as these are bulletproof cars and are very reliable. However, Like all used cars, apart from the usual checks, rust, regular servicing, gearbox transmission renewal etc you should be fine. In my view, if it has had MBSH than you are on to a winner...

shude, that usually happens when there is moisture in the brake lights/holders. Bit of WD4o should disperse the moisture. THM, you need the straight pin bulb (380), assuming its on the older escorts. The newer ones usually take the off set pins, (566). Just make sure they are of a good brand...

Maybe its just me, but I prefer the wood trim.

Thanks shude, I have noticed that there are 2 horns on mine, never occurred to me that one of them may not be working. I'll have a look at it over the weekend.

Hi Thom I wish my horn did not work. For a big hunky car MB for some reason have put a really panzy Fanfare on my car. Its so bad, that I'm ashamed to use it, I've even seen a few people have a good giggle at my horn!! It does not HOOT but just gives out a little beep

OMG, is it really worth it?
