As far as I can gather it's original - but can't swear to it unconditionally. Will have a look at the manual you indicate on Google. I have had many 124s over my classic car life and this is the first I have seen without a glove box. I would be a bit nervous about taking it to an alarm...

As you can see - there is no glove box........only an airbag

Thank you Dreamer for your reply. On my model there is no glovebox at all. That said is there a way to locate and isolate the system. I realise this might be seen to defeat the purpose of the system but in essence that is what I am trying to do !!

I have a problem with I think..... immobiliser/alarm ?? Car locks and unlocks (central locking) perfectly with the key fob to the drivers door receptor and tailgate receptor...then the fault appears - operation/fault is as follows... Locking by fob - one indicator flash - car locked - no...

No sadly can't do that the corrosion is right at the union. MB say the part ( for AC fitted cars) is out of stock in the UK and Germany and can't say when it will be available. Am trying to source a " used " Will bypass the cooler to drive it back to my garage (12 miles0 and continue the search...

Established that cooling is via the radiator My car has AC and the corroded leaking oil cooler pipe which accesses the radiator (top and bottom) is out of stock in UK and Germany - so unavailable for an indeterminate time. As a work around is it practical the bypass the oil cooler pipe...

Not entirely sure but pipes are running from gearbox to front radiator. and leak appears to be central from pipes under radiator

1995 124 280(petrol) TE - Have an oil leak from corroded oil cooler pipes from gearbox to oil cooler. Looks feasible to "graft" piping between unions - is this a practical solution ? Is there a pressure issue? Does anyone have schematic of the system and source for replacement pipe...

I have a 1995 124 280TE -104 engine - no cruise control - Throttle body part no 0001416525 - 8 pin plug I have the TB off the car and have cleaned it thoroughly - I notice that when the mechanical throttle is manually activated ( the butterfly moves)....and that when the mech throttle is...

This problem initially started out as the car would not idle at all. It would run perfectly but would die on idle. - engine hot or cold. Fitted a s/hand tested OVP - no change. Vacuum leak none found (smoke test). Took to Mercedes main dealer for diagnostic, over and above the 16 pin socket on...

Hi Dreamer No.2 Thanks for your last missive - progress to date - replaced OVP (on off chance) - to no avail. My understanding of 104 280 E is that cold start idle & idle speed generally is controlled by the ECU through the throttle body. On a cursory look ( through sheets of rain !) at...

Thanks for info will try these fixes ......... as of today we have heavy rain and it is giving it for a couple of days - so will be delayed somewhat. Why don't these things happen in dry weather?? !!!!

No - but would appreciate the link - many thanks

I know this is a few years on !!!!.............. but did you resolve this problem ? I have exactly the same problem with my 1995 M104 280E - Problem appeared out of the blue on starting one morning after normal running previous day and years before !! Was it the OVP ?

Hi Dreamer No 2 No have not yet fully addressed all the items So far I have been going at it piece-meal with no continuity and am planning to have a real go at everything this weekend. Will check all the items you mention and also try and get a reading from the diagnostic. Presently am...

Hi Dreamer No 2 Many thanks for info - fascinating website ! - now have the codes for the 16 pin diagnostic

p.s. I can now hear the fuel pump buzz/activate when turning ignition on before starting !!!!

Hi Dreamer No 2 - thanks for your info - much appreciated Yes I am in the UK - Can you give me the link to the website please - cjross.angle@btopenworld.com Do not appear to have an OPD connection under dash (driver or passenger side) - have not dismantled the black plastic coverings though - I...

many thanks Dreamer No 2 - much appreciate your reply Will have a look at your suggested items - where will I find the throttle assembly micro switch - will that be on the throttle linkage assembly in engine compartment ? I take it you do not feel the relays are the culprit ? Have tried Google...
