I took some photos for the Agreed Value on the classic insurance this afternoon!
Plus some arty farty ones too
and I thought I'd share them on here!
I'm really getting found of this W124 :$
I've done 1100 trouble-free miles over the past 13 days ( The ignition Barrel on the 190D as gone sticky I've already bought the new Barrel but haven't got around to fitting yet ) So I've been smokin around in the 124
I'm really impressed with it's lovely M102 2.3 donkey
It's so much smoother and quieter than my 2.0 Auto 190E every was ( Can't believe it's basically the same engine ) After the 190D it feels like a 6 pot B)
It pulls like a train ( Mines no CAT fitted ) so I guess it's 136 bhp,but even though it's much bigger and heavier than my petrol 190E was it seems much much quicker and more responsive :o
The Autobox ratios seem much better choosen in the 124 or is it just me?
Mid range even in E mode it really picks it's feet up
Last week I went to work in it 5 times so 10 cold startups....I got 470 miles out of the 70L tank so the mpg worked out at 33 :o Okay that was taking nice and easy but I'm very impressed when I think that it's an old engine design ( My mate had a W124 E220 that I had several goes in :driver: which was 150 bhp ) and mine doesn't feel much slower in everday driving
The leather seats can be a bit cold first thing in the morning :'( But they soon warmup and the interior is just sooooo Lush
