I've bought a lot of products off www.cleanyourcar.co.uk and found their products to be of top quality, they also have a great range too. I love the Victoria Concours on the Bug, and Dodo Juice products are excellent specialy on the darker colours.

Thanks very much Bazzer1. I don't know as it drove into the driveway and was in very good condition when it went in orginally. I bought this car without even driving it and the owner have lost the keys, so I haven't even got to lift the bonnet, will have to wait until Mercedes make me a...

Detailer all the way. Seen a Mercedes done recently from a MB dealership and wasn't impressed with Star Gaurd, plus the detailer would be nearly cheaper.

Yes they can make a mess of it, they can use the wrong fuel lines & use wrong clips. Although if you trust them and know their work to be good then you've nothing to be worried about.

Fingers crossed! :crazy:

Thanks John Jones Jr, I agree fuel will be flushed and I was actually planning to change the fuel lines and clips, I ordered the fuel filters off Mercedes (one after the tank? and one in the engine bay). I'm planning on turning the engine by hand, fresh fuel and with a new charge hopefully it...

So high 40's the best I can get or can I do anything to help?

Well I hope so, but I hope it will run. It hasn't been running for the past nine years although its low miles and drove into the driveway. I've a feeling it will, is their any guides I should follow recommissing this or open a new thread?

What should I expect to get? Presume the manual gearbox will be a little bit easier on fuel. (Don't expect to get massive MPG but just as this is my first Mercedes I'd like to know what's right within reason, I cannot find a thread for the fuel consumption of W124 250D).

Yikes!! :wallbash: You were very lucky, best to replace the three other springs or just get the mod to stop it rubbing the tyre.

Thanks everybody for your welcomes. The car itself is a 1987 250 2.5 diesel manual, I'm not sure how commen they were in manual?

Hello Everyone! Been lurking behind here for the past while learning loads and you've got a lovely site - so well done to all involved. I've just bought a 1987 Mercedes 250 Manual with 100,000 miles, although it hasn't ran for nine years should be fun getting it back on the road but I'm...

Odd wheels are never a good start.

Myself & a friend drove from Dusseldorg, Germany to Cherbourg, France last November in a Mexican beetle. I really enjoyed it and the roads were excellent although the Belgium motorways were very poor. We did the drive in 13 hours which should have been a lot less as the bug was running a 1600...

Hello to you SilverArrow86. Only joined the site the other day, on the lookout for a W124 diesel. Great site they've got here :D
