Bill you old fruit night owl !

Have you been configuring remapping files , probably chip set on these ?

Very nice W124 BTW , I remember liking the coupe decades back .

 

[BILL JONES]

Lol Gaz, wish I could remap it, it's a cruiser though, need to slow down a bit in my old age.

Welcome, that looks really nice and my favourite era for Mercedes

Welcome - lovely 124

It is a nice car to be honest, got a few niggles, needs a new mirror switch which is on it's way, new front speakers on way, driver window regulator and maybe a steering box but that's about it, 200k miles with FSH fully stamped every 10k and the cleanest MOT history I have ever seen, 10 Mot's and 1 advisory for slight play in a wheel bearing!

Wow , you wouldn't get that with a modern Mercedes !

I've got stuff going on I've not had in 6 years with the Pi$$rat .

Must admit my Pashat was pretty good over the 40k I put on it, driver reg went, battery, bust spring but that was about it and as you know went like stink with my home brew map ;-)

This car amazes me though, the interior looks like it's done 60k, zero wear on the leather, full electric seats with leccy headrests and the body work is amazing, someone cherished it, 2 long time previous owners 9 years last but one owned it 14 years and the guy I bought it off had it for 3.

Oh and it needs a headlight wiper arm.

That’s an amazing interior and in general!
Strangely it’s so good it highlights the slightly soiled drivers seat! That’s easy to fix though.. well done

Funny you say that as I noticed that but actually in the flesh it doesn't look dirty, I'll be giving it some leather love anyway, these are PO pics so I have a feeling it's been valeted after those, I will be buying a driver seat cover for it once I've treated it as I wear jeans a lot and they tend to leech into tan leather and turn it green.

The buying stuff bug has begun!
