Hello, My Mercedes 280ce keeps cutting out. Basically I ran out of fuel :crazy: and then it keeps starting for a few hundred meters and then cutting out, where it used to idle it now dies. What's the best thing to do? It goes as it should once started, but then when it dies it takes a while to...
has anyone come across this before i have a 280ce which is in excellent running order.
however for quite a while there has been a dead bug in the instrument binnacle below the clock.
so yesterday i decide to pull the unit and to remove the little fella.
all went well no issues.
i fired the car...

Hello,

Any help would be greatly...
Hello,
I hope somebody can help me. My father in law has a Mercedes 280CE 1984 model W123 and i'm trying to get him a set of OEM mud flaps for Christmas, but keep drawing a blank. Can anybody point me in the right direction? Failing that OEM over mats??
Thanks, Andrew.
