Rusty Pelican

I still want a 190. I’ve had a hankering for an old merc for a while. It’s a shame I enjoy old Vauxhalls instead 🤣
 
That’s definitely a going to town rig 👌

Wrong springs and someone has put low profile 50 section tyres on those 15 inch 8 holes. Should be on 65 profile tyres.

Got the whole washer system working , new pipes , one new pump ( headlight one ) and connected some random wires back together that were poking out the bonnet , probably wash jet heaters but ive no way of testing if the work 

Couldnt resist .

YAY Another C180K waftmobile on here , stored codes arnt important AFAIK , Its the current ones you need to look at , often a right good ragging clears things up , mine had a sticky rattly lifter , read up on horror stories and nigh on shat myself then a mate said rag it one and it will sort itself out - sure enough it did . you can buy proper MAF cleaner so that might be a shout . Also read up on the chain issue and felt like i needed therapy afterwards - its been fine though . poor idle or pulsing idle is deffo an air leak , had that too 
 

WOW , You seem to be having issues with the 190 , im learning a lot - important since i bought a 2.6 one a week ago , as for route canal you got out of that one but into the busted tooth extaction , i had one removed a year or so ago and got sommat called " dry socket " after the extraction - MAN THE PAIN !!!!! , For a week solid .

Great spec, great colour with the best engine, well played!
I've seen the discussions on the 190 site on FB with this car. Ignore the naysayers, if it has the chassis pack, it's a sportline optioned car, and therefore has a right to wear the badges regardless of whether it has the interior package or not. I kind-of have an eye for these cars and the ride height and the way the wheels sit in the arches tell me it's a sportline chassis car. An easy  way  to check whether it's a chassis pack equipped car is to check the small body coloured plate on the slam panel with the three digit codes on. If the code 650 is on there, then it has the sportline chassis option. The chassis pack comprised of lowered and uprated springs & gas shocks, thicker anti roll bars, lower ratio steering box & smaller steering wheel, firmer bushes throughout and wider wheels and tyres so quite a comprehensive upgrade. The know-it-alls have no clue, there was never a 190 sportline model, (apart from the US where there was a special run-out model called the sportline, in black with the chassis pack, and the sport interior in black and red leather) it was a series of option packs. You could have the chassis pack on its own, the interior in a number of combinations (sports front seats only, 2+2 sports front and rear seats,  cloth or leather) on its own, or the chassis and interior packs together (as option 950).
FWIW out of my previous 190Es, I've had a 1.8 with both chassis & interior packs, with badges,

a 2.0 with chassis pack and standard leather interior which didn't have the  badges from new, (but I fitted them, at great expense)

and two 2.6s with standard leather. One had a sportline badge on the boot from new but no wing badges, (wing badges eventually fitted by myself again)

and the other had the wing badges fitted from new by the supplying dealer.

It all depends on what the supplying dealers or original owners preferred. When the owners forum was a proper forum rather than the mess that's on FB now, nobody ever questioned the 'authenticity' of my cars!
In any case, you've had a cracking buy anyway with that car at that price,  2.6 values are well on the way up. True to form, I sold my last 2.6 for a pittance just before the prices shot up...
So have you got rid of the W203 then?  I'm just about to do the same, probbaly in favour of an older Merc!
