Well all the 124 Estates are:
750Kg/1900Kg - Unbraked/Braked respectively.
I only have an owners manual for my own car but do not imagine a 123 is that much different.
Why do you not buy an owners manual from the dealer - they ain't expensive?

It says 1500kg and 2500kg on the towbar and the rest is in German, I assumed max weight would be 1500kg but now unsure. I could order a manual from Mercedes but wanted to tow this weekend and it will take at least 5 days to have one sent, v poor.

In that case I would not exceed the 124 limits, the markings on the towbar are for the component testing and not vehicle specific.

Hi,
We have a W124 300td and we regularly tow our caravan which is 1320kg but the kerb weight according to most tec data and towing places is 1500kg on the w124 300td so you can safely tow 85% of this behind you laden.
Thats the rule of thumb anyway mate.
Its a very good model for towing you have and i'm sure you know this
