    My W124 220CE for sale

    Hi all, I have just put my 220CE up for sale in East Yorkshire. It looks great although needs a bit of attention, see faults noted on ebay listing. Today I noticed the engine hunting a bit so I'm going to do a plug change that will hopefully resolve this. Drop me a note if you would...

    W124 220CE slow idle when coming to stop

    Hi all, I have been having a problem with idling, at any engine temp, when I come to a stop the revs drop to 600 to 700 and it stall on occasion. If I put the car in neutral the revs lift and it avoids the stall. I'm selling the car and a helpful prospective buyer located a connection on...

    W124 220 rough idling

    Hi all, Had the car serviced last week, full oils and filters as I've just bought the car. It was running well previously although the mechanic said all the filters were full of crud and had clearly not been changed recently. However now when I stop the car at a junction it frequently idles...

    Ooer - Rust

    Took the 220CE in for a service Friday and asked them to take the engine shield off and look at the metalwork. Lucky I did as the subframe was pretty shot although repairable, also a hole in the floor, front passenger side. Given the extent of the corrosion I wonder how it got through its last...

    Best way to sell car

    There was a similar thread about this a couple of weeks ago. I've just sold my Chrysler PT, it had been on Autotrader and Ebay but sold as I had a sign in the window outside my home. That is now three cars out of four sold this way. The other went to a buyer from a car forum. Rob

    Have now included 6 months road tax and reduced the price a bit. Reluctant to reduce further as it is already a very low price for a facelift model. Rob
