Peter C Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Didn’t someone pay £5.5k for one of these recently? Bargain. Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Didn’t someone pay £5.5k for one of these recently? Bargain.That might be me... The car was £3k and I've spent nearly another two on fixing faults and upgrading the sound system. The others I looked at were a similar price and worse condition. Brilliant cars though, shame this wasn't for sale when I was looking! It is indeed a bargain. Jim Bell and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Bell Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 That is hawt! Bargain too by the sound of it. Well out of my reach but if you've got that kind of money to spend, its got to be a no brainer. BUY THIS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingz123 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 They have a tendancy to blow glow plug relays too - Ive had quite a few w210 e220 cdi’s and my sprinter (again a 220 cdi albeit with a different map to yours on) has had a blown glow plug relay for about two years - still starts without issue though! Alternator tensioner went on it yesterday though... got recovered by AA - new tensioner being fitted as I write this to you Pat Earrings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraMikeHotel Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The glow plug lamp comes back on for a few seconds after the car's started on mine, which I believe indicates at least one of them is failing. I mentioned it when I got the car serviced (at a shit chain place) and they said they don't do them because the risk of breaking them in the engine is too great. Well, that was reassuring. The car runs absolutely fine and I've never seen the EML on so I'm going to ignore it for the time being. Might ask my trusted local garage to take a look in May when the MoT comes around. binhoker668 and Pat Earrings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
