I looked over a very low mileage 230TE from 91 this weekend that a friend of my father was looking to sell having stopped driving through advanced age. It had 29k on the clock, in white, blue interior, auto but no other luxuries, one small rust patch after a rear ding, bumper scuffing...

Hello. I'm considering buying a car for my parents and the one at the top of my list is a late nineties C250 TD. I know very little about these cars but like the fact that they have a pretty straightforward old type diesel engine with very little of the electronic control found in all modern...

I'm working on the purchase of a '95 E320 coupé, which I'd like to keep relatively quiet, lest I lose out, though there is nothing underhand involved. Are any members willing to check over the information I have to date and advise accordingly? If so, let me know and I will forward the info. I...

Hi everyone. Thought I should say "hello" as my third post, and after visiting/reading here for a few weeks. As to car sought: Thanks for the interesting info and opinions I've read so far. I now know exactly what I want: I'm looking for a C270 CDI estate, a pre-facelift '01 - '04. Spec. to...

For AIRMATIC problem on a 2004 S350 (see other posts), any reccomendations or anyone that would carry out this job? Help appreciated

Im seriously thinking of upgrading to an S Class, (nothing new may be 2002). i have a class 2002. are there a lot of differencies between the 2? my class is a 2.2 diesel auto, i have gotten up to 60 mpg on the motorway. what do you think, is there a matching economical S Class, i saw there is a...

As usual the forum experts have provided the answer! Last night my near side door lock began to 'bounce', seeking guidance It appears to be a very common problem requiring the lock unit to be replaced (currently on order). Now for the advice side, whilst searching the forum the majority of...

I am going to be moving house in the next few weeks. We are going back to an older house that needs lots of modernising and has a lot of trees and bushes to be either cut down or drastically trimmed. I intend doing lots of the manual stuff myself. Why is this motoring, even less Mrecedes...

I'm after a bit of advice folks. I have been contemplating an E Class for some time now, and the following vehicle has come up on eBay.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230094192905&rd=1&rd=1 However, I'm a bit...

It is that time of year when problems with heater blower motors regularly get posted! I have searched old posts and realise the problem I have is common in enough in W124s (mine is a 1996 E300TD). The blower motors has been erratic, coming on some time after beginning a journey, and sometimes...

I know that changing the headgaskets is the best solution but is it possible to just tighten the bolts in the correct order by say 1/8 th of a turn ? M104's tend to leak (to atmosphere only) on the rear right and the M111 at the front right in the timing chain area. The coolent is not normally...

Crips, I've just read some of the posts about rust affecting the W210, W208 and W202 models. I've just purchased my first Mercedes, a W208 CLK 200K on an 02 plate with 35k on the clock. I guess from all the posts that 2002 was still a poor year for Mercedes and I can expect the dreaded rot any...

I am considering changing the CLK:( for an E55.:rock: I'm interested in hearing the opinions good and bad of those who have owned and run one of these beasts! In particular at what mileages should I expect big bills and what sort of cost. General day to day running issues also...

Great site! So have researched all about these W124 and wonder if someone could summarise for me the following: Which mileage of a car would it be best to go for. I was thinking about the work needed at around 100,000 for the auto box, 150,000 for rear suspension, 170,000 for the gasket...

i have an e350 fitted with amg style 1v,wheels,the front is...... 8x18 offset 30......,the rear is ....9x18 offset 39......,i would like to put on the rear 9.5 x18 with an offset of 33,would this move be more inkeeping with the amg kit fitted or would there be little gain? :)

I am looking at a '91 SL300 24v sport.Can someone tell me please- (1) what does sport mean? (2) is lack of aircon normal or unusual? (3) is cruise control standard? (4) will it have a 4 or 5 speed autobox? (5) is there anything in particular I should be looking for in terms of faults? It...

I've been offered a 1991 w124 230ce coupe with 95k on clock, auto, air con, leather, 17in AMG replica alloys and history for £2k. Is this a good price and is there anything I should look out for? I've heard the timing chain on the engine of these can be a bit iffy, is that true? thanks...

im considering buying one of the above, and judging by my investigations there is not much between the two, ( i may be wrong ) any tips would be apprieciated. thankyou (oh and please dont slate me because i luv the c class and can just afford it)
