hi everyone,as the proud new owner of a 300CEcoupe,1989 I just wondered where to look for stats on this model and what common faults are found on it,cheers

Hi grayling, welcome.
Here's a start, just key in your VIN and get details of your own car as it left the factory. Others will come in with techy stuff.
Cheers, Tom.

Nice car and welcome, I think it is best that you run the car and see how it goes, rather than think about faults, maybe you will get some, maybe you wont. I would always rather start off with new engine oil and a filter. Make sure that everything else is topped up, check disc pads, etc.

The E and S on the gear box relates to the gear that it starts in, in E economy, the cars moves away in second, on S it is a first gear start. one nice thing with that car is that you can be driving around in economy,if you kick the throtle right down, it will take off like a bat from hell
