Dont seem to be having a lot of luck lately with the 124. Following on from the new oil filter unit it needs a tensioner pulley for the serpentine belt. Not a big job but now the demist function has given up again. No air to the screen. It can be directed to face level or floor but nothing at all upwards. This is the third time this has happened. 2010 it was stripped out and the cables reattached to the flaps. It was then ok for about 6 months and the same thing happened again so in 2011 all taken apart and new cables fitted. Its a dash out job every time and has been done by the main dealer - not cheap but at least the second time they only charged for the parts used. Its now going back to them once again. Its just outside the 2 year repair warranty but I think that will not be a major issue. Anyone with any bright ideas as to why this keeps happening or how to stop it. Much as I love the 124 I am getting a bit disillusioned with it now.
