I wouldn't expect it to be there
.
By the way, I was wondering - is that Benz an original Diesel engined one with a speedometer cluster replaced... or a petrol yoke with a Diesel engine transplanted?
Well, you guess :pac:.
1992 Mercedes Benz
BODY TYPE Saloon
FUEL TYPE Petrol
COLOUR Black
TRANSMISSION Unknown
Either it was converted recently or it has a fake NCT....
The other thing I was looking at was the chrome strip on one wing and none on the other
Definitely a rubbish find

Guys in NCT Centre would test the car as a Diesel engined, regardless of whatever is stated in the Vehicle Registration Document, so it makes no difference to them.Either it was converted recently or it has a fake NCT....

The chrome wheel arches are a very bad idea from either aesthetic or technical point of view. I have no idea why people put them on.
Rather below average and not worth buying IMO and I would rather spend my money elsewhere.Definitely a rubbish find
However, if you want a W124 Diesel, buy one that left the factory with a Diesel engine in the first place
. Converting a petrol one is a job for someone who knows what he is doing. It is not a simple matter of throwing in an engine and wiring it up. There are hundreds of bits and bobs that should be changed, i.e. gearbox, radiator, front suspension (springs), rear suspension springs, rear differential, drive shafts (sometimes), wiring looms, speedometer (complete cluster), ignition barrel and controls, sound proofing mats under the bonnet and above the transmission, engine mounts (due to the different vibration damping characteristics), etc. In a car like this it is all plug and play job and can be done, but I have never seen one done half properly. 0 -

Twas unsure of this, I always understood it was tested as in accordance to what was on the VLC.... Must look more into it
I viewed a W126 a few months ago, a 500SE with a 307 engine inserted, 2L on book. Car was in a garage for ages, it's prob still there. Only reason I didn't snap it was the shoddy crash repair it had received. Otherwise it could have been my daily driver :eek:
Oblig car, I'll try another diesel Merc
NCT till June, 1350

Pointless bringing a car like this over there anyway.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/for-sale/cars/3892284. But, as these barges are getting less popular and that one being a petrol model, you won't make any money on it (when breaking it for spares), even if you bought it for half the asking. The only M-B cars to export over there are cheap CDI engined ones. At least the (unreliable) engine is worth something plus it usually is attached to an automatic transmission. 0 -

C250TD with the rare manual box, single tank conversion (I assume), a history and NCT for the bones of 12 months.
Can't go too far wrong I think.0 -
