Following the 8k thread I've always wondered about the 5k über mercs on ebay etc. I always thought they were a non starter....a 5k car with 5k of MOT issues waiting to surface.
Has anyone successfully bought and run a 500/600/AMG without anything much more than the tyres/ins/fuel for more...
I have a 1989 W124 200.If the oil level is more than 10mm above the minimum mark on the dipstick the car blows blue smoke on acceleration and decelleration. Presumably oil from the sump is being forced viathe sump breather into the carb air intake. Does anyone know why??
Hi All,
The car is for sale, won't go on Pistonheads or Autotrader for a little while so you have a chance to buy.

Hi,
I guess you could say my car is my office. I do 40000 plus miles a year. Motorway driving and country lanes so it's often dirty. What's the best way to help protect and keep it clean? I'm new to detailing, but want to spend less time at the local hand car wash.
I'm guessing I should once...

Hi
What would you consider as a HIGH mileage for E280 CDI, if it has a nice MB service history?
What are your experiances?
I have seen some with low miles but ruined and some with 200k in almost mint condition.
Hi, i wonder if anyone can help, this has happened 2 or 3 times just recently, where i accelerate hard and just before it changes gear it splutters, then orange engine waring light comes on, then runs on seemingly just 4 cylinders until i turn car off and on again, then it runs fine but light...
I haven't seen many manual 6cyl 124s so thought it might be of interest to someone. Good spec, memory heated ortho seats, ac and rear blind.
Very optimistic price though.

I'm just wondering what peoples thoughts are on manufacturers putting these small eco type engines in big cars . For example Ford have a 1.6 in the Mondeo & 1 Litre in a Focus, Vauxhall a 1.4 in the Insignia, Mercedes putting a 1.6 in a C-Class & probably the E-Class.
These cars are typically...
