-Just a quick update. I went and bought another '92 300D 2.5 Turbo from a fellow board member here in Dallas. It's awesome, a guy's car to be sure, but that's what I was looking for. Suspension needs new rubber, and outside charcoal paint is a little faded, but engine tranny runs great, better than my wife's old one. What sold me was the way the car drove and the fact that the pressure wastegate conversion had already been done earlier this year
.
I just love these W124 diesels. Perfect blend of everything. I had considered going to a 123 or 126, but now I'm all set for the foreseeable future with a great running 124. And since the wastegate conversion's done, I will never again have intermittent turbo gremlins!
Thanks again for all the help here. I'm sure glad to be back on the road again!
