w114

Hello all, I’m writing from an established TV company with a track record in motoring content. We are developing a new car show and are looking for people who might like to take part. We are looking for someone genuinely on the hunt for a Mercedes W114 Coupe. Ideally, you’ll have a...

I now have the larger wheel size and trims for my coupe. I am keen to lower it a bit as it will improve both the appearance and the handling. H&R make lowering springs that produce a 5.5cm drop - which is possibly a bit much. However, the Bilstein B4 shocks available (and OEM) will only cope...

The standard wheels are 14inch 5.5 - originally the tyres were 175 14 s (yes, no second number). I am able to fit 195 70s to these, but I have the option of some rare 15 inch 5.5 wheels - what tyre size should I look at to remain the same diameter etc as the 195/70s? (I know nothing about...

Right, some help needed, as to paraphrase Winnie the Pooh, I am a bear of very little brain and electrical circuits bother me. My old headlight reflectors for my W114 house side and headlights. Despite not being for H4 bulbs there were H4 bulbs in each. There are two connections on the...

One of my neighbours, a retired mechanic, has a 1968 250 W114 Coupe in his garage that he has been restoring but he's now too old and is looking to see it go to a new home. I saw it today, it is sound, all the parts bar the front wings are there (they had been replaced by pattern parts which...

Has anyone had any experience buying the horizontal seal between the outside of the front door window glass and trim of the door? (the one which if it was raining the rain would run down the window glass and onto the seal). Went to buy a pair from MB today but the picture on EPC isn't clear...

Hi guys I have been trying to restore my MB but am now stuck. I have a w114 and am desperately looking for an interior, can anyone help? Or know of a breakers yard that might be likely to have w114 stock? Worst case just one front seat for a coupe would do as I need the diaphragm...

As promised in my introduction here is my new project that I picked up last month after agreeing a price with the old owner a few weeks before. Lots of plans including fully re-painting the whole in white, air ride & possibly a set of split rims, also will be running white walls on the...

I was on the race track yesterday with my Coupe to make a base test of what's working and what needs to be improved. Car is really fast with rebuilt suspension and brakes but the steering could be quicker. Is there a quicker steering box from some other model to be fitted in W114? Thinking of...

I'm looking for manually adjustable Mercedes seat rails to fit in order to bolt very early Recaros onto. From what MB model would be a closest fit? Perhaps with some modification needed...? /johannes

Hi all, during the past 1,5 years I'm been working on this swap. The car has been test driven now and appears to work fine. Very fast. Some fine tuning to be done though, eg. throttle actuator: after constant revs on load and pushing the clutch pedal (traffic lights etc.) the engine has a...

Up for grabs are a set of four 14" steel wheels and hub caps from my 1975 280CE (w114). All in good condition ready to use or could easily be restored.

Hi people, new to the forum, looking for your help and advice. I own a 1972 280ce (W114), and struggle to find parts/information/workshop manuals due to the relatively rare body style. I am not familiar with how forums work so patience please. If someone could direct me to an area of the...
