Hello everyone
Have just purchased first merc ever - a 1984 280E. I was thinking of buying a newer car but having read lots of good things about the w123 especially it's build quality & longevity I knew it was the car for me. I'd welcome any tips on ownership - do's and dont's etc.
I'm particularly looking for a reliable & friendly place to take the car for future servicing and repairs & want to build up a good relationship with a trusted garage/mechanic (I'm not that great at DIY). I live in SW London/Surrey boarder. Also interested for views on specific issue of petrol - should I always put some additive in tank of unleaded ? Should I seek out leaded petrol ? Thanks
