Hi people - just joined! And not fantastically mechanical! - my daughter, in Spain, has just bought a converted MB120. (1995) she finds it slow - which I see is the “norm” but she’s also concerned the engine seems to heat up a lot - has just had a refurbed radiator put in - a helpful mechanic suggested she should just remove the thermostat.....??! - I wondered if it needed a heavier duty oil? - would hugely appreciate any comments (can anyone tell me what grade of oil SHOULD be used (it’s diesel - they maybe all are....) and at other ideas re it heating up - she constantly has to stop to allow it to cool down! - many thanks!
