1990 Mercedes-Benz W124 300E 24V review from UK and Ireland
"Stunning blend of power and comfort"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has a slight coolant leak from the top of the radiator (where the plastic pipe connects). I was quoted £300 for a new rad so it's still leaking!
General comments?
It has the full Sportline option package so th handling is terrific, if a little bumpy at low speeds.
It's a non catalyst model so the power output is 231bhp. I love the wolf-in-sheeps-clothing aspect.
The 'leather' Sportline seats are wonderful and despite the 125000 miles they still look like new and feel solid.
Nothing else lasts like a Merc.
