Hi all, i have a 1989 230te and the mileage has stopped speedo still works. Is there a quick fix or is it just not worth doing any advice would be appreciated. Just fitted two new front springs tackling spheres tomorrow wish me luck.

Hi Guys, I want to give my 230TE a thorough service. I was going to order all the bits from MB i.e. All oils, filters etc... If anyone has done this before and has a "shopping list" of items I should get I'd appreciate it. I want to do the ATF and rear diff oil as well. Is it best getting...

The weather was great in East Sussex today, so I took the opportunity to do a few jobs on the car. The best one was giving it a good clean and a wax! I think it was Andy_k that suggested Boora Wax was worth a try. So I did and this is the result... Not bad for a 17 year old girl!

Hi Guys, Looking for some advice... The "slug" was running a little cool with the onset of winter and taking ages to get up to temperature and it would only really get there if it was idling in traffic. So I thought it was probably time to replace the thermostat. I phoned MB in Tonbridge, who...

Well it decided to stop raining this afternoon and I thought it was probably going to stay dry long enough to give my new car a wash. Here are a couple of pics.

Just thought I'd make my first post and say hello. As the title says I've just got my first Merc. She's a 1991 Silver 230TE. I am delighted. She goes so well for a 17 year old car. I've been trawling through these forums for a few weeks now and noticed that the W124 seems to attract quite a...

Hi all, hope someone can shed some light on this problem for me. My 1991 230te is having starting problems, for the past couple of days it has been very sluggish to turn over, not jumping into life at the first turn of the key but taking about 20 seconds or so before catching, and now last night...

I have a lovely 1991 230 TE Automatic that has started giving me problems. Driving along it will suddenly cut out - no alarms- and come to a halt. It will easily fire up again but cuts again almost immediately. Repeated attempts to start the car will result in the same thing, engine fires up OK...

Hello this is my first time using this forum, hope you can help me...... I purchased my J reg. 230 about a year ago, after a NON mercedes mechanic messed around with it (didn't have a clue) he upset the whole thing, anyway got it to run and change gear at the right revs now, but there is an...

Hi all I am new to Mercedes and have just bought a '93 230TE. Really love the car...111K and good service history. I have noticed that the idle speed seems to vary. On starting it can be as low as 500-600rpm but when the car has been running it soon seems to settle on about 1100 in Drive but...

Hi all Have just bought our first MB...'93 230TE. We love the car and it is in great condition but there are a couple of points I thought I'd ask about. Firstly the rear of the car appears to be sitting a little low and is possibly a little "firm". Could this suggest replacement shocks or...

Hello, I am thinking of buying the above car, can anyone give me some pointers as to questions to ask the vendor, and what I should be looking out for ? Cheers Dotty :confused:

Just to let you all know I had a major prang on Bank Holiday Monday. The old Merc did a splendid job and without any doubt saved my life. I will go into more detail later when it is appropriate - it isn't at the moment. However, I was wondering can anyone advise me on how to stop the...

Can anyone suggest causes of a ticking noise from the transmission ? It seems noticeable when the car is cold and will go after a while. It is related to road speed (rather than engine speed) but its difficult to work out exactly where its coming from. Any suggestions on where to start...
