Hi,

I'm now after a W124 3.0 turbo diesel. Can anyone tell me what years/how I can tell? None of the 300D/E300D mention turbos in the adverts, Parkers indicate that ALL 3.0 litre W124's were turbo, those before about 1993 being lower power (no intercooler?) and the later 'E300D' badged ones running 147bhp.

Anyone got comments on this? It has to be as big on power as possible, also a 1st gear start if possible. So was thinking 1992ish 300TD Auto estate (also requirements).

Anyone got some guides? My current Volvo 960 has air con/cruise/leather etc and I'd like to keep that too, were they all options on the Merc and therefore pot luck what I would get?
