    W123 Main Relay..

    Hi, I’m looking for the main relay on my W123 but can’t find it. I read that some W123’s have an OVP relay but not all of them. Can anyone confirm if I’m right in thinking that some of these cars don’t have a main relay as such? Thanks

    SLK230 ecu pin out info

    Hi, I have a 2002 M111.982 that I’ve fitted into a 1983 230ce. I’m after the pin out info for the original ecu so I can wire the original loom into a stand alone ecu. If anyone has the wiring diagram and a key so I can match wires to plugs/switches that’d be a massive help, or if you can...

    Engine weights

    280ce on carbs

    Can anyone tell me what the deal is with the 280ce engine on carbs? I've read that they're down on power compared with the injected engines. Do they still pull well? Is there a difference with economy and reliability? And are they any less sought after and valuable than a later injected 280ce...

    Wanted: W123 280ce

    As title suggests, I'm after a 280ce. I'm not able to spend big money for an absolute minter but am just after something that hasn't been welded that I can improve on.

    Fitting electric windows

    Does anyone know if it's possible to fit electric windows to a 1980 280ce that's currently on winders? Guessing I'd have to source a centre console with switches, and the motors. Would it be a simple job if I took it to a pro or is it a waste of time thinking about it and just accept what I've...

    Buying a 280ce

    Hi, I'm off to look at a W123 280ce on a W plate today. The car is advertised as top notch. I'll be deciding that for myself but was wondering apart from going over the usual places, where I should be looking in particular on these cars for rust and anything else I should be looking for? Thanks...

    W123 engine / gearbox adaptability

    Just wondering if the 2.8 petrol engine will mate with a 3.0 diesel gearbox? If so it it a straight forward job or is there a lot of adaptation to be made? Thanks in advance. J
