The original setup for W114 (250 CE) uses one fuel pump.
In a W124 E320 the fuel is supplied by two fuel pumps.
Is it absolute necessary to install this setup in my swap or can I use the existing one that is bolted on to the chassis already?
I'm searching for suitable Recaros from late 70's to early 80's for my project.
Since Mercedes did not have any by the time, I'm looking at BMW's. I've found that seats from 6-series and E21 or E30 have a nice design touch of that era.
Now my concern is are these Recaros too low for a W114? Or...
Looking for a suitable rev gauge to fit the W114 original dash, in the middle where the clock sits.
Since it seems to be difficult to find an original, is there any aftermarket ones that would have as close as possible design of the original?
The motor in my setup is a M104 E320.
Any tips...
Just back from a holiday in Germany. Staying with friends who are also enthusiasts. They gave me use of their cars while I was there. Beats Avis and Europcar any day!
This car was (or is - may be a commission sale ) round the corner from me. The description is absolutely correct, the car is superb, I was gutted to see it for sale ( especially as I can't afford it ). The only mark on it is a slight mark on the bonnet where it was hit by a Molotov Cocktail in...
Hi I'm after a pair of genuine front wings for a post face lift w114/w115, good used or new. Been warned off using pattern ones by my bodyshop who've used them before and had real problems. Any leads or advice would be really apreciated. I'm keeping an eye on ebay and ringing breakers yards but...
Heard a knocking noise coming from the rear of my '75 280CE. Kneeled down to have a look, not expecting to be able to see anything and found the drivers side rear shock almost touching the ground. It was still bolted to a little bit of rust on each bolt but the rust was no longer part of the...
Hi,
My indictors flash too quick in cold weather. Colder it is, quicker they flash. As the car warms up the indicators gradually slow down to normal speed.
All the bulbs work. I wire wooled all 4 bulb holders but no joy. Any help would be much appreciated.
lm at the engine rebuild stage of a 1969 ce250 ..lm not to sure about the collectable classic factor of this model so im in two minds of either rebuilding the 2.5 six and auto or is there another suitable engine that someone has used without going to nuts on mods. or keep it stock for later...
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the discs on a W114 without have to remove the wheel bearings etc. They fix on the hub from the rear, but the brake shield is in the way and I cannot see how you can get to the disc mounting bolts with everything in place.
Hello all,
Very new to forums, i have a 1972 280 CE Coupe (W114.072), and it drives very nicely. However, when i come to a stop, or when the car is standing still, it shudders/shakes and cuts out. It is fine when the car is moving or in neutral, however standing still in Drive or reverse...

Hi folks, ive had a few w123's as my daily cars in the past and found them to be great. Reliable, comfortable, cool.
Thinking about getting a w114 now but never driven one. Can anyone tell me how they compare to the 123? Would they be comfortable/reliable enough to use everyday and clock up...
I was surprised to see that this is my friends (hes kept it a secret from me!)
Unfortunately he cant afford to keep it, which is lucky I suppose as he was going to turn it into a lowrider.
Id love to buy it but gone are my days of buying cars without MOTs and needing work
Someone could be...
Hi
Replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug leads with a set of tailored magnecore performance leads. Car now just cranks but won't fire at all. Double checked I'd got the firing order correct and it's fine. The dizzy cap is quite green, as is the rotor arm. The coil is probably a bit tired...
