W123 and Veg Oil ?

Mercedes and Veg oil.

Does anyone know (and this is probably directed to andreas_220D ) whether the w123 200D would be suitable for conversion to veg oil. Would it need a pre-warmer and extra tank? How was the W123 for rust ?

Gimme a call -> 01-6589839. The W123 has a slighly modified OM615 engine which runs with few modifications on vegi oil.

Thanks mate. Will give you a buzz over the weekend.

Share it here - I'm also interested; I have a good 5 cyl 3L diesel engine with 5 speed 'box in a rusted w123, just waiting for a new home.

I'd be happy to go tyre-kicking W123s - I've had a few and have a good idea what to look out for at this stage. They can and do rust badly if neglected.

When i see something in ireland i might just take you up on that offer

I spotted a good w123 on ebay if you are interested.

Check out the interior.

I'm fortunate enough to see an interior very similar to that one every day.
