Head Gasket Blew so a Top Overhaul had to be carried out at 295000kms
My god I've driven 15 different cars including the newer version C180 Merc.
They don't build cars like they used to this 1986 W124 Carburetor (2.0L) purrs like a beauty a little sluggish when she starts which I hear needs to be started on its second gear (All the W124 autos fm 1986 thru 1990).
It looks and feels like a 'queen' what ever happened to the personality of cars these days? Car cost me S$50,000 with 9 years left to drive in Singapore and I feel this is great bargain.
How do you know if the Engine Gasket Head is going to blow out on you, any prewarning?

Running noticeably hotter than usual is generally the first sign of head gasket failure.
Having MG Rover on the back acts as a premonition rather than a symptom.
