| Rear Bumper Cover | 28 Jul 2006 19:51 GMT | 3 |
Had the rear of my 96 E320 hit from the side yesterday. I'm paying for it out of pocket so I'm searching for parts. I have a trunk lid and all the lights, but I need a rear bumper. Does anyone know where I can find an aftermarket one? I have tried many places, and they are ...

| Fifth Gear beats up a W124 | 26 Jul 2006 21:36 GMT | 8 |
A torture test on a W124 'estate' and it comes up smelling like a rose, despite the "colossal" mileage on the 'clock', 165k miles.

| Why not bluetec in all diesel engines ? | 25 Jul 2006 13:25 GMT | 13 |
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=116192 This article states the E has Bluetec and the GL does not. Why is that since without Bluetec they cannot sell the car in 5 USA states ?

| Grinding type noise when turning right | 23 Jul 2006 21:26 GMT | 13 |
On a 1984 300SD, when turning right, the driver's side front emits a strange grinding type noise. The noise sounds kind of like the tread of the tire is rubbing against something. As far as I can tell, it's not. The vehicle is most likely in need of replacement motor mounts

| 300 SD wont start sometimes | 23 Jul 2006 18:54 GMT | 9 |
I have an awsome 1983 300SD with 200k. About a month ago I drove 20 miles in 100 degree heat, turned off the engine and ten minutes later it wouldnt start. No sound or turning of any kind. I replaced the ignition control module and the glow plugs and everything seemed fine. Then ...

Approx 75k miles, good shape. How reliable is this model year and what major maintenance items (cost?) can I expect? I can get it for $3,000 but I'm concerned one or 2 repairs may well cost that much. Thanks

| Strange very difficult start | 22 Jul 2006 19:03 GMT | 8 |
Hi all, I'm puzzled why my '89 300e would not start today after running just fine for a couple of km. Admittedly it had been sitting for 10 days or so in the sun (well over 30C several days) without being used. It started reasonably well, ran just fine a few km, I then parked it ...
