    At 3000 rpm should my 1994 diesel auto estate only be doing 70mph?

    Sounds a bit low. My old S203 would be doing 70mph at 2000rpm.

    But it's difficult to be certain as models/engine combos change.

    See if another S124 owner replies..

    Do you have a handbook for the car?
    MB usually list the maximum speeds for each gear in the back.
