    How not to sell a W124 Coupe

    Sad thing is it probably will sell... there are after all some unfortunate enough to be labelled "mugs"! after an 8 grand restoration though that car should be a peach but i can't help thinking those tiny pictures are hiding something. i managed to blow up the front view in an attempt to read...

    And let's face it, the mk 2 astra wasn't the prettiest car ever made. Just to point out how far ppl will go, search minibusa on YouTube.

    Effusive? Sorry but my community high school seemingly didn't have enough funding to teach us words like that lol.

    Link...? Car modifiers will do crazy things just to have that one of a kind car. I remember way back when, in my days of reading Max Power there was a guy who had a full cossie 4wd system including engine grafted into a 1st gen escort cabriolet (mk3 or mk4, not sure which). Done properly too...

    Are these perhaps the ugliest wheels in Christendom?

    In the UK yes, It's illegal to have the outer edge of the wheel stick out further than the wheel arch. In his desription though he does say he has (or had) a body kit which included arch extensions. You can even see them in one or two of the photos, they look crap and the wheels look like old...

    It's been designed as a "sleeper", a rediculously modified car which outwardly looks standard, bet he was king of the traffic lights before he sold the cossie lump. Let's face it, if you hadn't read the description and the only photo was the side view, chances are you'd probably overlook the...

    Time warp W124

    I think the likelyhood is that it was actually the front springs which were replaced, with 230e springs. The extra weight of the 6 pot engine and the softer spring weight would explain the car sitting on It's nose. As for the rear being so high, was the facelift 124 offered with self leveling...

    Whirring noise while driving

    Just find a second hand diff in a breakers or on eBay and get it whacked in. Just make sure the ratio on the diff matches yours.

    car pulling to the left after control arms replaced?

    After looking at images on t'interweb it does look as though the inner end of the lower arms have oval bolt holes which could explain your camber issues if the tech didn't realise and just slung them in...

    W124 Replacement Rear Seat Won't Fit

    Although after searching eBay listings for coupe interiors I may very well be wrong (again.. ha). It seems as though the coupe does have only 2 rear seats but they are just that, seperate seats. All the images I've viewed have shown the base cushions in 2 pieces and the seat back in 2 pieces...

    R107 hard top chrome lock nuts (rear) needed!

    Your welcome Mr whitts, I just hope he can be helpful. It's been a few years since I last spoke to him so I'm not sure how big his operation is these days but back in 06 (!) he was the man haha.

    Mercedes C Class estate 250td windows not working

    If you've got a good steady hand and a lot of patience could you not strip the individual switches down to a component level and clean the contacts with metal cleaner or are they sealed on a printed circuit board?

    car pulling to the left after control arms replaced?

    Ok, is there a web page where I can see an exploded diagram of the 209's suspension layout? I'm guessing It's a far cry from the 208 design.

    W124 Replacement Rear Seat Won't Fit

    Your original rear seats had a lap belt for the middle passanger where as there's only 2 in the coupe, the seat back you have there is defo designed for only 2 belts. Then you need to think to your self "why are the front seats leather and the back ones mb tex?" The answer to that is... The guy...
