260e

my W124 260E seems to have a little trouble starting when cold. It turns over fine, nice and fast infact, but takes around 5 seconds of turning over for the engine to start properly. Once started it runs fine and restarting once it's warm is no problem at all. I've changed the spark plugs in an...

Hi all, I'm wondering what my options are for wheels on my W124 260E. I'm really not bothered about the look of them and I certainly don't want any bling bling aftermarket alloys, but I do want a larger wheel size/lower tyre profile cos a 65 profile is like riding on jelly compared to what...

Evening all, I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether I would be able to get a performance air filter for my 87 260e, I'm not really fussed if its an induction kit or a direct replacement jobbie but id like a little more performance from my silky straight six. any info would be gratefully...

I'm aware of 2 known common problems that affect the W124 260E 2.6L I've just bought: 1) Head gasket failure roughly around 100k miles due to poor machining tollerances on this particular engine. Starts as oil weeping from the front and back of the cylinder head/block joint and gets worse...

evening all :) I'm the proud owner of a 107k mile F reg 260E (picking it up on Saturday) :) I've owned plenty of cars before but this is my first Merc and I just want to make sure I'm doing things right :) First up is replacing the knocking water pump and a quick service cos it's due one in...

I'm a bit out of date here I think, but just seen Ian's car in the Gallery . It has a certain masculin look to it with those dark coloured wheels doesn't it? Nice to see an individual car, although MB parts. I like it!

I just thought that it was about time that I put my Car in the Gallery. with refurbed wheels really do need a coupe rear end Well you have to have them dont you? Well I think this looks nice, not silver TeeHee Keep protected dude? :D :

Does anyone know where i can get a rotor arm sleave. The arm itself is fine it's just the sleave thats split in two leaving a lovely piece of ali stuck a tight as hell in th end of the cam shaft.

I have a W124 260e '90 (Auto) does anyone know how to test one or the EHV which is attached to it. Fuel line-in pumps petrol with loads of pressure but nothing comes through the injector feeds. Electric-hydraulic actuator was really guncked up with sticky deposits. I think this is where the...

I'm at a total loss. My 260E has died. She turns over strong and there's definately voltage to the HT leads (ran a strobe timer.) I've changed Fuel Pump Relay as the (clever) AA man said it will be that. All the fuses are fine. I can hear the fuel pump start and other bits and pieces spring...

Hi I have recently purchased a 1986 260E with full service history. The car has been running perfectly for the last month since I purchased it. However, when I drove it to the local shops a couple of days ago and started the car after coming back from shopping there was no response. The...

Hi, I have recently been introduced to the joys of driving Mercs by my friend, and so enthused, and in need of a new car, I went out and purchased a 1986 260E. My friend came along to help look over the car and we were both extremely pleased to see a car in such good condition, particularly...

My lovely 1988 260E, which is in very nice condition otherwise, with just stone chips on the body and one small rust blister has rust on and around the 4 jacking points. The amount of rust varies, but all the jacking points have some. The metal tube which fits into the body has rust on the...
