Specifically the right hand heater control isn't lit, whereas the left is. Is there one bulb behind one, and one behind the other. If so how do you access it/them?
Also, is the main headlight switch to the right of the steering wheel supposed to be illuminated when the headlights are on...
Having driven the last few mornings in the cold, I've cranked the heating up straight away and noticed i'm getting warm air from the vents very quickly, within a minute or two. On other cars i've owned I've had to wait for 10-15 minutes before getting anything resembling heat out of the...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
as you can see Im brand new here but very much glad to be part of the community.
A few months ago I purchased an old (1992) 300d and enjoy very much pootling around in her. I had noticed the ride height was a little low particularly when driving over sleeping policement...
Hi everyone, I am looking for a 300D Turbo Diesel 5-Cylinder Engine. They were in the 123-Series LHD cars and also LHD G-Wagens. The model number is OM617A. I want to put it in my G wagen for a bit more power. Please give me shout if anyone knows where I can get one. I can collect from anywhere...
I had a spin in one today and it felt really slow, in general are they?
As a yard stick it felt about as fast as the 95 w124 220 that I also drove recently.

Hi all,
I've had my 300D auto a few years now and it has been uber reliable. I joined this forum a few weeks ago and this is my first post. I must have known that I was going to need advice. I would appreciate some help, any help
2 days ago the car would not start, these are the symptoms:

I have a spare engine and box almost ready to run up but i can't find a wiring diagram for the stop solenoid in order to power it up.
The wire colours are;
Red with Blue line.
Brown with Blue line.
Anybody able to shine some light on the problem ?
Cheers

Hi
I am going to be putting my 92 300D up for sale, I thought I would put it on offer here before I do.

I recently bought a 1993 300D engine and gearbox complete and was wondering if i could run it up out of the car.
I was going to make a frame to fasten the engine and box to plus bracketry for a radiator etc.
What would i need other than a battery, fuel, a capillary oil pressure guage to...
Hi
When changing filter on a 1993 300D (124 Estate with 603 engine) noticed that the filter had caught on a ridge of the housing and was taking in un-filtered air. See attched pics. Best checking that yours is fitted properly.
And yes it was a genuine filter etc etc.
Good Luck

I'm going to look at a basic spec G reg 300D auto with 125K this weekend. The man says it has a good SH & apart from a couple of "light scratches" is in v. good condition. Same owner for 11 years - he's emigrating.
I've never had a W124 before & wondered if anyone on the forum owns one of...
My 91 300D won't start, after stopping in a hot journey 4 days ago. After being told it was seized, or had broken crank, etc, it turns out that the engine now turns over on the starter, and actually fires up if you spray "Easy Start" spray into the air intake. So perhaps fuel is not reaching...
