300te

Guys my estate is running rough when cold and also is hard to start. How does the cold start enrichment work? When it's cold I have to let the car warm up otherwise it will cough and splutter before I can drive. I have set the idle co level, changed plugs, lead, caps etc and cannot see any...

Hello all! After years of wanting a Mercedes i finally purchased a 1989 300TE petrol estate.It had belonged to the same person for the last 11 years and although it has 160k on it it is in very good condition. However when i bought it the seller told me he had problems with it cutting out when...

Hi All, Some of you know I bought the above car that was being discussed on here.. Anyway, pics say a thousand words. This is how I bought her: But of course I wanted the car perfect so here we go.. Some welding to do and new genuine MB front wings and tailgate...

All I am looking to get my recently aquired 124 estate re-sprayed. I want to stick with original colour (light metallic green). Will this save on cost? I am also looking for somebody who can do a good job at a reasonable price. I live in Kent but if the price is right would travel to have...

I've just bought another car and the 300TE will have to move on after nearly 3 years of faithful service. It's a 1991 300TE Auto. 198K miles. Runs and drives well, starts instantly from cold, starts first time from hot but takes a couple of seconds cranking sometimes. Nautic blue with...

Can any one help me locate one model no 0105459532, 0227400736 or any other model that will work on a 1990 300te24. many thanks :)

Hi all! Just got my W124 300TE running after a 3 year layup but have a couple of problems I'm a little stuck with, hope someone can point me in the right direction :). 1. First trip of about 70miles to the mot station (I've moved house but not car storage address) was fine, but after...

Last weekend it was driving fine and was parked with fuel on reserve. Went for a couple of miles run later and noticed that it "hicupped" once or twice but forgot to fill up. Yesterday I decided to take it for a run and fill up but it refused to start, just normal engine cranking but no start...

My cherished 300TE will soon be for sale. It is blue with cream cloth interior and has aircon & sunroof. It is a 7 seater. This is a very well looked after example and not the usual shed. In the last 2 years it has benefited from; brand new wheels and continental tyres (5), head gasket and full...

Well finally got around to giving it a quick polish, so thought i'd post some piccys at last!! :) It's a 1989 W124 300TE 4Matic with 225,000 miles on it, not perfect by any means but goes like the clappers & has an unnerving appetite for fuel!! :D 4Matic system wants to work after topping up...

The alternator tension spring has snapped on my 300TE, does anyone know a part number or where I can get one. I did have a look on europarts and its coming up with this :- Febi Bilstein Mercedes Benz | Euro Car Parts UK But im not sure as that's a damper it looks like this :-...

Hello, I'm Dave, I have just bought a W124 300TE. The car may be known to some of you, as it is the white one previously owned by MBClubUK member known as Vectrolosys. I'm in rural Worcestershire, near the Shropshire border. I have had many estate cars, as my daily drive, (mostly Ford) but I...

Hello, It is with great regret that the time has come to sell my 1991 300TE (S124). Unfortunately, due to moving house and not being able to fit the vehicle into my garage, plus a forthcoming company car allowance and a 5 year age limit, the 124 has to go as I only have room for one classic on...

Hi, Sadly ambition over ability has taken hold and I have been told to sell my 300TE. It's a runner, but not MOT'd (last on the road Dec 09). It's a very rare car in that it has virtually every option available at the time, it's done 230k, drives ok, exhaust is blowing but it is surely worth...

Seems a little ruthless but I'm wondering what I should do with my '91 W124 300TE. It's been a good workhorse for the last couple of years, never let me down and has been handy for moving things and a spare car as well. But - I'm reluctant to spend any money on it. It cost me £320 two...

Found this very detailed thread on the restoration of a w124 300TE on another forum. ;) More pictures than you can shake a stick at. Documentation is patchy so interpreting what you are looking at can sometimes be difficult but a huge amount of visual info.:eek: Some very good links within...
