OK, I’m back. I used to inhabit these forums a few years ago, whilst the owner of a two-tone red 230CE I ran that car for almost 4 years before moving on to a Volvo V70R, then a nondescript Lexus …but I never stopped loving W124s and eventually got another C124. Picked up a 93 300CE at a classic...

Hello MBClub-bers – hoping someone can provide some guidance to get me out of the total screw-up situation currently afflicting my W124 Vehicle registration: K834 CNC VIN: WDB1240422B901344 Model: Mercedes 220CE, auto, sunroof, no air-con First registered: January 1993 Some time ago, I started...

Hello fellow MBClub members... This is the latest in an occasional series of posts, in which I visit improbable locations, and assess them for out-of-date Mercs. Previous episodes: Yerevan is G-Wagen Central Bishkek is W124 Central Branching out now from ex-Soviet republic capitals –...

Hiya gang - I haven't been around here for a while - hope all's well with the regulars and members I've met. Still driving the ol' C124 - I've covered 33,000 miles in the last 3-and-a-bit years and it's been a fabulous car - standing up amazingly well to year-round use - and still attracts...

Listening to wireless this morning before work, I heard the latest sensation of the BBC Radio 2 playlist, Maren Morris’ “My Church”. Rather liking it, I put her name into YouTube whilst eating my muesli, and was presented with a video featuring Ms M driving around in a blue W114 saloon - all...

Hi All – today marked the likely beginning of the end for my beloved 220CE, daily driver for the last 2 and 1/3 years, which was involved in a collision in Ripponden, W Yorks on the way home from work. The incident involved my Merc and a 2002 VW Polo at a busy junction. The other vehicle pulled...

Some time ago (months actually, but now winter is here it’s annoying me) the gearshift indicator illumination on my C124 failed - so I decided to fix it yesterday. I dug out my bag of those little crummy bulbs used for instrument and switch illumination, and removed the centre console trim /...

(This is one of an occasional series of posts, last one was here, where I visit the capitals of ex-soviet republics, and assess the prevalence of out-of-date Mercs) (Yes I realise this is a rather exotic and leftfield hobby, but I’m enjoying it) I spent Monday seeing the sights of Bishkek...

Came across this URL whilst reading a Jalopnik thread..... new to me, and I don't see it if I put it into MBClub search..... Online decoder that identifies the spec of Mercs from the VIN - certainly works nicely for my 23-year-old 220CE VIN: MERCEDES-BENZ (???????? ??????????) | CARInfo...

New episode, featuring a very early ('71) very original SL350 https://youtu.be/UIeTa-9oLtQ Regards Chris 93 220CE, auto, red / black leather, 117k, Manchester

My '93 220CE started making unfamiliar noises - sounded like the exhaust was leaking (but also a but rattle-y). I was slightly surprised because last June I paid £550 for new rear + centre sections (still under warranty). So I took it back to the place where the earlier work was done, they...

Currently on holiday in the South Caucasus region (Georgia, Armenia) where I spent a few days in and around Yerevan (a delightful city, I must say). 90s and naughties Merc saloons are everywhere - huge numbers of 'em 124s, 201, 210s, 211s - most in great condition as the climate is dry and...

Just noticed a crack in the windscreen of my 220CE - top corner driver's side, edge-to-edge, about 8-10cm total length. I think it's new, haven't noticed before, and the car passed MOT a couple of weeks ago so that's not an immediate problem.. Is this illegal? MOT fail next time round? What...

Further to the recent comments in this thread - my searches just return info about a 2012 meet..... .....wondering if there is anything arranged / whether other 124 owners are interested in a get-together sometime? Chris 93 220CE, auto, red / black leather, 104k, Manchester

Posting here to give this post some exposure Note - I am not connected in any way with the vehicle or OP, just thinking that 560SEC owners may not have spotted the original post with original title in original location Regards Chris 93 220CE, auto, red / black leather, 104k...

Symptoms 220CE (no air-con) cabin heater is currently blowing full heat, both sides, rotating the heat controls makes no difference. I had a good trawl around the various threads here dealing with this common issue, and did the following investigation: Procedure - Measured the voltage...

Hello – My 93 220CE had an intermittent stereo cut-out problem (aftermarket mid-90s Sony head unit / CD Changer) - Head unit would apparently lose power, then a few seconds later come back to life, and continue where it left off - The frequency of the problem was highly variable, sometimes...

========================== Cross-post – apologies if I’m bending the rules here – but I’m not really sure that the previous location was entirely appropriate - asking EuroCarParts for advice on sourcing a TB from one of their competitors http://www.mbclub.co.uk/forums/2015220-post933.html...

Intro Hello MBClub.co.uk forum readers – new owner here – I’ve recently acquired a red ’93 220CE, and I *totally adore* it – I actually think it’s my favourite car I’ve ever owned. First time in many years that I’ve bought a car with my heart rather than my head, and I feel like I’m 30 again. I...
