Evening Chaps, I've filled the new addition to the family full of petrol today for the first time. I wanted to add some additive to help clean the internals so I put £50 worth in, drove to ECP and back to get the additive, then topped up with the additive. I thought after putting the first...

Evening All, I've just got hold of a nice one owner 280TE, and want to service it for a bit of piece of mind, and I wondered if the forum could confirm/deny a few questions please. First question is regarding oil choice. I know it's a huge subject, but the service record says Castrol GTX...

Hi, I have owned a 1993 280TE Automatic (W124) for about a year, and am totally in love with it! Have just discovered oil and "mayo" in the water/coolant reservoir, which leads me to think that the head gasket is starting to go. There is no water or "mayo" in the oil or gearbox oil. The car...

Hi Gang I ran a lovely W124 280te for a while in 2005-2006, which I posted about on this board, I now need a load-lugger again and am not too bothered about fuel economy as the mileage won't be excessive so I thought I would look up the W124's again and it would appear that prices have...

Hello, I am attempting to replace the fan belt on my W123 280TE. The new belt is definately the correct size, but even with the alternator set to the 'slackest' setting I cannot get the belt on - it seems to be 2 inches too short when compared to the old belt. I have the radiator off so...

After much umming and ahh-ing I've decided that it would be an idea to sell my 280TE. I've had the car for a year now and just don't use it enough. In the time I've had it it's covered about 1500 miles in about a year. It was bought as a runabout for trips to the shops and dump only. The reason...

Finally got round to taking some pics - only about 4 months later :p I would like to say thanks to "Dr" Ian Walker who took my car on as a surgery patient a few months ago :bannana: . Ian has made what was already a very good car into a great car. :rock: Anyway - here she is - I was...

Hi, I'm not sure if this is electrical or engine, here goes. A few weeks ago after a wet trip down the M6 I turned off. As I went round the first roundabout and put my foot down on the way out the car started lurching as if trying to stall. Once going I had no problem 'till the next r'about...
