    W124 Speakers

    I recently decided to replace the speakers in the front of my E320 Cabriolet. I naively assumed that a quick trip to Halfords would secure some appropriate replacements. Wrong! They're an odd size - 4.75" instead of the vastly more popular 5.25". The pimply, but helpful, assistant conceded...

A/C doesn't work (unsurpising..) but neither does tacho, temp gauge is wildly erratic and the transmission seems...woolly (but it does need a throttle cable fitting, which may sort that) Current set up involves a...

    Hi folks! It's me again. There's an oil cooler living (or rather dying!) in front of the near side front wheel of my old 300TE 24, tucked in behind the front bumper. It's leaking quite badly. Has anyone got any tips or advice on how to replace this item? Are there any gotchas...

    Wonder if you guys (and girls?) might be able to help with this. My car has an electrical drain which will flatten the battery in about a week. Having gone through the fuse box with care, the only two circuits with any draw when "all off" are the clock and the central locking circuit. Now...

    My last thread start today, I promise. Battery Drain I've got a battery drain problem which I suspect is down to water shorting something - maybe the central locking vacuum pump, which (I've gathered from other threads here) is hidden somewhere under the luggage area, and is a known suspect...

    W124 230TE - oil pressure gauge

    I've just got myself back into the Mercedes family with an old 230TE auto. The engine runs smoothly enough, but the engine oil pressure gauge is a bit suspect. As soon as the key is in the ignition and the ancilliaries are on, the oil pressure guage shows "3" and it stays at "3" regardless. I'd...
