    W124 300TE Electrical issue

    Warning light on the dash says bulb gone so checked but bulb is ok. MB Medway checked the lamp holder, cleaned the contacts, checked the switch on the dash but no power to the bulb. Seems like the wiring between switch and lamp holder could be the issue and that involves exposing the whole...

    1992 300te

    I bought this, my first Benz just under a year ago. It needed some minor work, but otherwise has a pretty well documented, extensive service history. Has 236,000 miles on it, and the engine and transmission were rebuilt at the dealer at 180,000. It needs accumulators for the SLS, and I'm putting...

    W124 300TE Interior - grey

    Just replaced the driver's side mirror, which was damaged and scruffy, with one recently obtained from a breaker which I have had painted. On removing the internal cover piece I noticed it was held on with double sided tape, as one of the original plastic clips had broken off. Just...

    Hopefully a simple question to those who know: both window operation and sunroof stopped working at the same time, have checked fuses and all appears ok - what should I check next please? Actually the rear n/s window operation stopped a few weeks ago. Thanks, Bill

    W124 300TE fast/high idle issue

    I have a 1990 W124 300TE which has developed an idle speed issue over the last few days. When I start it from cold it idles at around 1500rpm instead of the usual 800-900rpm. I put this down to the weather going colder and it having to use choke but even once the engine is warm, it still idles...

    W124 300TE 24 overheating

    What likely causes are there for my car to overheat? I'll tell the whole tale in case anything is a clue. I came off the motorway where the customary 80 degrees showed on the temp gauge and into a traffic jam, where it got hotter. This I expected, but then the needle kept rising into the red...

    300te

    There was a lovely 300TE on ebay until today. Very low mileage and full spec. I've been looking for one of these for a couple of years now and so was very excited to see this one.
