selling his for 12.5k, only has 67k miles, VERY nice car. Was looking
at it a while back(before he was selling it) and he says
gotta go to work...i'll look for that motor...the headrest goes up and down
and the seat goes foreward and back...it's just the pesky angle of the seat
right now...
Let me clarify, the fellow is looking at w126 and w124 cars. He does not
want a w123 or anything earlier. Anything newer would likely be out of his
price range. Personally, I think a 300D 2.5 would be the ideal car. Now, to
only find a nice, low mile example.

Fellow Listers,
A customer of mine is seeking a car to use for his traveling sales job. He
averages 60,000 miles/year. He was thinking of rebuilding a 300sd w126 for
this, but the cost of doing so has him thinking of moving into something
else or at least a far nicer
Kaleb,
EZL is the electronic ignition module/brain. On the M119 cars, they're
about $3k new, very hard to find used, and $750-$1000 used. Not a
common failure but I heard of several in the V8 community in the past
year or two. It's the kind of thing you keep your eyes out for and
grab a spare if
One tiny adjustment... the torque range neeed is, I believe, 30-40Nm,
not lb-ft... make sure you use the proper setting on your wrench.
Over-torquing can damage the pump. The torque procedure is listed in
the TDM (Tech Data Manual), not the normal service manual (don't ask
me why).

Marshall,

A 124 300D 2.5 or E300D (90 thru '95) in good shape could be ideal. The
124 is a LOVELY car to drive on the highway and 30+ mpg of the 602.96 or
606.91 engines
Hi Mathieu,
For driving 60kmi per year, I would want something with good MPG,
unless the company is paying for it. I would strongly lean torwards a
1990-93 300D 2.5T in excellent condition and fairly low miles (low
100's). They should be plentiful in that price range.

Peter,
Could you remind us again what the exact symptoms are, and if it
started suddenly or gradually?

With a fairly short torque wrench and by removing the windshield
washer reservoir it is quite possible to do this procedure w/o
removing the intake. btdt.
