after being fed up with the back end of my w124 knocking and rattling i decided to remove and overhaul anything that was unservicable,

My car lost all power again this morning on the way to work. Fortunately I was on a downhill stretch and 2-3 miles away from a roundabout and managed to kick down to 3rd and keep my foot down and a while later it started accelerating again and I had power. Upon arrival at work I had a look at...

Over the last 2-3 weeks my coil light has been coming on every now and again. It normally coincides with a slight rise in the engine temperature as the needles normally sits in the middle of the top "o" of the 80 degrees and when it moves to the top of the "o" the light comes on.

Is it worth this money? One of my friends is interested in it... but I think it's too much money... he says it's a "classic" :crazy:
Hi all, this is just an update on my experience with buying and running an old merc;)
I only do 3-4000 miles a year, and use the w124 to save the 300SL for summer top-down cruising.
It starts on the button all the time, (see it starting-up here!)has never let me down, changes are smooth...
I have a 1987 300D which is auto and has the OM603 engine. The rear crank seal is starting to go as I have noticed a few drops of oil on the garage floor and it is engine oil coming from between the engine and gearbox. How long should I leave this as there is not a lot of oil, but it can only...
My 87 300D idle speed control stops working when under the hood temps get high. Idle then runs up to around 1700 rpm . The voltage going to the idle servo on the inj pump also then increases to 12V from the normal 2.5 - 3.5 V. Anyone got any idea what the cause of this is?
