Will these fit a 300TE W124 without any rub-rub? 17" wheels with 235 wide tyres.

"Automobile manufacturers demand that, on vehicles factory-fitted with copper-core ignition leads, only copper-core leads be installed as replacements, otherwise there may be malfunctions in other electronic systems in the vehicle." Well, are the original on the W124 300TE copper-cored? Am...

Just want to change the auto tranny oil on my 300TE S6 12V - have ordered the original MERC tranny filter and sump gasket but need advice whether to resort to original MERC tranny oil or alternative from Auto shops will do? What is the correct oil spec and how much will be required? I understand...

Would be grateful for a PDF copy of the Owner's Manual for a 300TE Estate 1992 Model or a spare original hard copy - am willing to buy it.

Where is the central locking pump/etc. located on these models? According to Haynes, it's under the rear seat but remains elusive to me!?!

My 300TE Estate is currently running on the original 15" steel wheels with the snap-on trim caps. Am thinking of upgrading to decent alloys - what would be the best size to go for? 16" or 17" ? Also, what would be the correct spec of the alloys (offset,etc.). Would prefer some easy to clean...

'92 model W124, failed MOT on just the corroded rear brake pipes! Fexi hoses are Ok! Have just ordered the replacement pipes from MERC arriving tomorrow - diagram showed them to be complete wiith union/fittings and profiled to fittment. But are they? Am planning to fit myself - any tips? Do they...

Only had it a few months but got offered a newer E280 estate today so the old girl has to go. She's black with light cream cloth, 16" alloys, remote locking, radio cassette, sunroof, ABS, 159,000 miles, a few reciepts but not a FSH. A few little niggles worst of which is blowing back box...

I have a 1986 300TE a few months ago I had a problem with the engine coughing & spluttering when driving but would do for for maybe a week then nothing for 4 weeks then for a day might only be for 5 Min's then would clear very random,so took plugs 1&2 out and they were wet with fuel,so changed...

Hello all, I'm looking to buy an E300t or 300TE (W124) for our family of two adults and three children. We're running a series III Subaru Legacy 2.5i GX lux estate auto at the moment and as much as we like the Legacy, the draw of an E-class estate is too much to resist. My question relates...

Some kind person broke my tail light glass yesterday....anyone happen to have an OFFSIDE unit to replace it (1989 ESTATE W124) Many thanks 07970 861492

Hi All, As my LPG system has settled in it has started running slightly lean giving me the occasional slight misfire (explosion in the inlet manifold). It did it again yesterday but this time I was unable to start the car on either petrol or gas. I'm suspecting a leak in the inlet manifold...

I've been considering replacing the valve stem seals on my 89 300te because of the copious smoke when up to temperature, as i pull away. The problem was worse this summer than it had ever been and was getting embarrasing and making town driving impossible. However I took the car on a long...

Hi All, Just found and sorted a problem with my rear fog light that it would be worth documenting: My rear foglight wouldn't come on. The car has no front fogs. I traced it to the headlight rotary switch (which includes the fog lights switching) on the dash. Terminal NSE is the feed to the...

Hi All, Just thought that I would share a recent experience with you: The car with no warning would not start. Eventually nailed it down to a problem in the petrol supply as it would start on LPG (dual fuel) once I figured how to fool it into supplying gas for startup. After a little looking...

Has anyone had this before. The car feels as if it is running out of fuel all the time,cuts out on tick over and can take 10 mins to fire up and when it does black smoke from exhaust,and it back fires in the throtle body when reved,missing all the time,drinks fuel,and it just came on one day and...

Hi All, I'm just getting my 1988 W124 300TE auto converted to LPG (autogas) (Liquid Petroleum Gas). The car will be dual fuel and will run on either petrol (with the KE-Jetronic) or LPG using a very simple gas mixer (carburettor) without computer feedback from a lambda exhaust probe. I'm...

Hi All, I recently bought a 1988 W124 300TE without self levelling suspension. Basically we all feel a bit car sick in it on twisty roads. We were running an old Range Rover with uprated (towing) suspension where you really felt and heard the road - we were fine in that. Now I'm reminded of...
