    124 230TE gearbox woes

    The suspension is very supple all in all. Although the self levelling isn't all that effective. I've got to somehow wrestle the lid off the reservoir to fill it. That'll be great fun. I'll change the atf asap. Is it a diy job or a garage job...?

    W124 nonsense again.

    How do I check the voltage regulator? The Charge light hasn't come on and it doesn't seem to be overcharging (in my experience this causes wipers to operate a lot faster, battery cracking, bulbs blowing etc) The Rev counter is truly odd, as I thought that this was run from the coil. And the...

    W124 nonsense again.

    I can check tomorrow. It seems weird that the clock and the Rev counter have also encountered issues. Is the pressure sensor on the side of the sump?

    W124 nonsense again.

    Hello again guys. Driving home from work tonight, my oil pressure gauge dropped to 0 and I stopped to investigate. I checked the oil level and all was fine so fired it up with the cap off, oil pressure was certainly there. I also notice that the Rev counter was sitting low, 500 at idle...

    230TE W124 Cooling Fan

    The part you'd need to get a wrench on is smaller in diameter than the actual switch. It's bloody crazy :@

    230TE W124 Cooling Fan

    Going back to this, how the he'll are you supposed to get a spanner in there without removing the thermostat housing first?!

    2.3 124 Estate Rocker Cover Gasket

    Last post about my bargain 124, I promise... But it's throwing oil out of the rocker cover like no tomorrow... Is it an easy job to change the gasket or do I leave it to a garage? I did one for a friend a while back but that was a Vauxhall Cavalier, the 230TE seems more complex under the...

    124 Estate parts

    Sounds fairly pleasant... Condition/price/pictures? May not be an instant decision as I've not got AC so cloth is better in the summer!!!

    I did a stupid thing today.

    People of all vehicle ownership see my 230TE as a target for this sort of thing... I travel at 60-65 on most NSL roads as it's what the car is comfortable with. I can't stand people slowing down/speeding up just to make a point. If I'm passing a row of HGV's, I will keep my pace of 65 (Maybe 70...

    124 230TE gearbox woes

    Had her in the air today. Rear back box is fouling the towbar again (New rubbers on order from MB, Kwik Fit used cable ties!) There's three clamps on the front/middle joint which are loose and bumbling about causing noise. These items are going to be sorted and then see how it goes. I had a...

    124 Estate parts

    Hi there, I've lost my previous thread on this subject, which descended into madness when people were sending PM's with W210/123 parts etc... I'm looking for a few bits to fit my S124 which is a 1991 model, 2.3 8valve in Impala Gold. The interior is cream cloth with cream carpets and...

    Air Filter 230TE 124

    Good evening, I've been looking around online and can't seem to find an air filter for a 92 model 230TE. They all seem to cut off around 1988. I'm guessing that this is because of the change over from carburettor to injection. Can anyone tell me where I need to look? Thanks.

    124 230TE gearbox woes

    The fluid is a nice golden colour and seems to be in good order. Theres three rattles. One is the backbox against the tow bar at 55mph. One is the middle back box slightly collapsed internally. The third one comes from the front. This is the worrying one on pulling off and sounds like...

    Sport mode - what happens?

    Leave my 124 in S mode all the time. It makes the changes more relevant rather than E which means it won't come out of 4th unless you beg and plead with it.

    124 230TE gearbox woes

    Evening guys. My 230 has started making a rattling sound when pulling away from standing, and when revving the engine in neutral. It's a knocking that gets louder with revs at standing and a brief sound when pulling away. If the gearbox is locked in 1st it doesn't happen but when it goes off...

    Decent Alarm/remote locking kit (S124)

    There's no sensors in the car. I don't believe there's a system fitted.
