Clashes with a show at Wynyard Hall unfortunately otherwise I'd of probably had a run up, went last year in my 205 GTX.

I really enjoyed mine, but you're right about the tracking, it was awful on uneven road surfaces. Have heard there's a few things you can do to improve them, strut brace etc.

230TE so 4 Cylinder this one, though I've heard it's common on both, a real shame as it's a nice looking car. What's it like for rot, have seen a few people swap newer Merc engines into these, the estates are desirable so could be a good body for someone if solid.

Both my 3.0 Outback and N/A Forester are ULEZ compliant, tax is reasonable on both.

I'll drive it for you! 😍

Going to view this tomorrow, was brought home from the hospital when I was born in an 11 and have always fancied one. This is right on my doorstep so would be rude not to, has anyone on here owned one?

The Celsior will be mighty tempting if I ever manage to shift this W124. What's your plans for the 728i, would be interested in that also!

going off the 'interior' pics it appears he can't get into it

Would be rude not to include one of this well travelled Autoshite bike, pic from the day I got it in October.

Final one from me, my two dailies back in Feb

Dicky’s Lancia (can’t remember his Autoshite name) and my old 205

Two scrap tanks met on the Otterburn Ranges back in April

Merc on B&W film in August

Autoshite purchased Z3 on the Isle of Man in September

One of the Merc from June

Cup holders in the E39 BMW 5 Series, not only are they extremely flimsy and useless but they're also place directly in front of the inside air temp sensor for the climate control, meaning cold drinks in the summer make the vents blow hot and hot drinks in the winter make the vents blow cold. Aircon in the SAAB 9-5 always reverting to auto and high fan speed when you turn the car on regardless of the settings you had it on when the car was turned off. W124 blowing fresh air only from the middle vents, ok in the summer, not great in winter even if you close them, the aforementioned arm rest on the passenger seat is just Merc being cheap, it's on the drivers seat in LHD cars which makes sense, they just couldn't be arsed to tool it for RHD. No sound deadening in the roof of the B7 Passat, cheap bastards, sounded like you were in a corrugated shed when it rained.

Out: BMW 523i Mercedes 230TE In/out/in: Subaru Forester All-Weather (current daily) in/out: Peugeot 205 GTX SAAB 9-5 2.3t BMW Z3 Citroen Xantia In: Mercedes 300E (it’s for sale though)

I'm looking for one of those 3.0 Outback's for when/if I ever manage to sell this W124, what's up with yours just out of interest?

AA on the way, will get it home and reassess. Cheers everyone for the advise, hopefully it’s just the clip.

Yes unfortunately I’m stuck in the middle of a prestige car dealers car park, maybe it’s self conscious? Any advice, don’t really want to call in the scrappers if it can be helped
