300d

Hi. I only bought a 91 300D Auto today, and after two hot hours driving, it suddenly started to lose power, followed by a complete cut out. It re-started once, then cut out again 3 seconds later. The breakdown man took a socket wrench to the pulley bolts, and nothing would budge at all. He...

Hi guys the rev counter on my 1988 3000D has been playing up since last year, sometimes it works sometimes it dosn't. I believe I read on here somewhere that a box located on the inner wing in the engine compartment is the likely culprit, could someone in the know shed some light on this and...

Hello folks, hope you are all well. I have a 1992 300d 6cyl deisel engine 603912 type and non turbo, I think thats about right. Anyway I am now getting the clicking sound from the rocker cover and will soon be investigating the state of things in there. My question is does anyone know where I...

I am looking for some advice, i have a mercedes 1990 300d auto (non Turbo). I have owned the car for over 8 years now and there is 200k on the clock. The car has never had any harsh driving and was always well serviced. I recently got the autobox oil changed and new sump pan gasket and G Box...

Apologies if this is wrong place to post this. Please Help anyone, I am going crazy. After driving the car for a while (appx.20mins-Once its warmed up), every time I brake especially when braking slowly (gradually) you could hear like a crinch/squek, I tried spraying some silicon spray on...

Hi guys, just thought of sharing an experiance I had recently.had to get the water pump changed,as there was a squeking noise from the bearing,even though the garage said not to worry, I didn't want to take the risk,so asked them to change it.2 days after they changed it, I could hear a squeking...

hi all first of all i would just like to say keep up the good work on this excellent site just found it. anyway when my 89 300d w124 gets up to 3000 rpm in top gear it seems to be losing power,chugging,but its ok when im going under 70mph.any help greatly appreciated

I hope i will be able to put this correctly - Between the engine and manifold,there are the injector nozzles and rubber pipes adjoining the nozzles in a loop form, which has diesel going through them, with a blocker at the end nozzle.Even though they are not leaking,would it be advisable to...

Need advise please, a bit concerned - I have a 300D W124-1988, the question is, is it ok to tow another vehicle for about 10-12miles using the 300D, and if it is ok, and was to be done often, is that a problem??, or anything one has to look out for. Would it have a load to lets say the...

Hi, I have an October 1990 W124 300D for sale.....car is Almandine Red metallic and only has 109,000 miles on the clock which is a very low mileage for one of these cars. MOT until next May, bodywork is excellent with no rust whatsoever, the 8 hole alloys were refurbished about 18 months...

The gearbox in the GF's sprinter (722.3) is playing up symptoms:- drives off perfectly in 1st or Reverse changes up perfectly when cold when hot (10 miles? driving) drops a gear - as in it no longer drives the only gears to engage are 1st and 2nd. 2nd at 4000 rpm = 35mph push...

I've had my "new" car for 2,750 miles now and have a question about oil pressures. Since I bought the car, starting from cold would cause the oil pressure gauge to jump to the 2bar mark and hover around there with 700rpm engine at idle. Increasing the rpm to 1,200rpm would see the oil...

Without going over old ground, my new job has put me in a position where I need to sell my beloved W124 300D :( Spec on the car is as follows; 1988, Diamond Blue Metallic, 3 previous owners, 147,000 miles (just run-in for one of these big diesels!! :D ), auto, air-con (nice and cold)...

Dear All I viewed the above at the weekend. The engine and autobox were very smooth and refined. All the electric bits work okay apart from 1 headlamp wiper and the driver's ewindow - both being rectified by the seller. However, I did note that... 1 169,000 miles - but full service...

I am a new mercerdes owner, I am surprised to be told that the fix for a leaking fuel pump is replacement (£600+). Are these impossible to fix? Is there anyone out there with the knowledge and willing to pass on advice (other then replace it!). Please if you read this and you know the answer...

looking for advice, diesel seeping from the six valves fitted into the top of fuel pump, these are the ones retained with serrated lock plates, is this fixable at home or does the old girl need to go to the shop, if so is there a good indepandant in South Wales? 1991 300D W124
