Hi there, i am looking at getting either a w124 or w201 as they seem to last quite well in nz.
I think the mid 70's mercs used a fluid flywheel in place of a torque converter and pulled away in second as first was too low except on hills or for towing. Do the latter versions use a fluid flywheel...
Hi there from Scotland, Im a lifelong Merc enthusiast but a bit of a noob on this site. Currently drive a D Turbo Peugeot 206 and a Classic Mini 1275. Always wanted a Merc and definitely considering it for the near future so need a few tips, here's what im looking for. Would love a 190E 2.5...
Does any one know what would cause the cruise control to sometimes work and some times not. Or at least what to at. On my dad's C220 it doesnt work 8 out of 10 times you try it, the ABS light also comes on now and again but not regularly, and usually it goes off if you switch the ignition off...
Hi all, I've been looking into sorting out the gearing in my w124's, since they have both been coverted from auto to manual gearbox's. As they are now, they feel a bit high geared for my liking, more so on the estate which dosent seem to need 5th gear till 60mph.
For the s124 I'm looking for a...
When it was pointed out this isn't an AMG body kit, the seller decided it was actually a Sportline kit. Then when told there was no such thing, he didn't reply.
This was today, mind you and he did say he thought the kit from a Sportline was made by AMG but is looking out the part numbers...
Well this looks like a good forum, just looking at the first page all the posts have replies! Excellent. Well I've just got my first ever MB, an old W201 C220 estate with what should be a lovely reliable non-turbo diesel in it. Now herein lies the rub. I got it home and the head gasket blew. Ok...
I dont know if this has been posted before but i noticed the other day that I could access the US workshop manuals without a log on.:D

I'm looking for a bit of a weekend fun car and the G-Wagen & W201 190e Cosworth are what I'm looking at.
Ideally with the G-Wagen it'll be mechanically sound, so I can use it as I restore it. I'm not fussed if it's petrol or diesel.
Having said that, I don't mind a project.
The criteria...
Can anyone one confirm whether Mercedes had the W201 2.5 16v tweaked/tuned by Cosworth?
I was under the impression that it was only the 2.3 that was the 'genuine' Cosworth, so to speak.
If anyone has the answer it would end a prolonged disagreement...
Hello folks, looking for some advice.
Looking to replace the standard non-airbag steering wheel on my 92 2.6 190e, with a 39cm leather airbag wheel off a late 190e - believe these are same as the sportline W124 airbag steering wheel?
Have come across the same wheel (in looks at least) off a...
Took my 190E in for an MOT and was told that my rear silencer is quite badly rusted and will need replacement soon.
I had a look underneath the car and the current box has "Ernst" stamped on it. I would like to replace it with another of good quality.
Is Ernst a good brand? I've also heard of...
