Can anyone tell me if there are any aftermarket speakers or any custom fit alternatives for dash and rear shelf?:crazy:
All four shot to bits!:mad:
Need some sound at least, not ready to chop car about for sounds as limited experience always costs to put right :)
Cheers

Looks like a very high spec W124 260E, but needs a full respray from looking at the bodywork.

I've just bought a 1991 260E to tidy up for my father, all original and FSH. My principal gripe is that from cold it takes forever and a day to start, eventually wearing the battery down after 5 minutes of labouring on the starter, stuttering... when eventually successful in getting it started...
I am breaking the above mentioned car. Before I eBay it for bits I thought I would offer it here for members. Either pm me or phone me, number on my website.
For anyone who may have been interested in buying her, Ive decided to donate her to a worthy cause Mr I.Walker who Im sure can make use of her, as for the new 190e 2.0i (Leo) its v.nice,:D :D Thanks for the interest

I have been trying to locate a water leak for some time now. I had convinced myself it was the heater matrix, but now I am hoping it is something else.
Water can been seen dripping on the drivers (Right) side of the auto gearbox. On inspection, I can see I have a smaller secondary radiator...
I have a 1990 260e which has covered 129000 miles. From a cold start there is a clatter from the top end of the engine for 2/3 seconds during which time it also misfires. In about 1 in 10 cold starts a light tapping noise can be heard for 15/20 seconds. Once running it sounds fine. If I...
I think my worst nightmare is happening, the heater matrix is leaking. There is a smell of radiator water in the car, windscreen mists up, and gurgling and wheezing sounds behind the dash, on top of this, water dripping under the car by the gearbox for some strange reason. No water inside car...
Hi fellas
New to these forums and would like advice on getting hold of used or inexpensive new alloys.
These are for my old 260E which would look alot better imo if I could get some nice alloys for her.
Any input would be nice including sizes etc or would they effect my...
Hello all,
I was loopy enough to buy a 260e (1989) Auto on ebay. The car is in good nick apart from a few quirks. (Passanger side e/w wont work. central locking unlocks but will not lock. Also the econometer does not work....)
I drove her from Preston to Northampton. Great fun but disaster...
Can anyone please help with how the plastic body sill moulding is fixed to the body, top and bottom, and if it is clips or bolts? It would also be very helpful if anyone has fitted a facelift bodykit to a pre facelift car and can advise any part numbers for the countless clips. I think my Merc...

It's dawned on me over the past couple of months that the ride on my 260E isn't as smooth as I'd expect it to be for an executive car with this much sprung weight.
I generally notice it when going over manhole covers, those metal strips on the motorway or poor road surface. It's a bit hard to...
