I know he has a euro spec, I did not know he was IN the UK...

100C is indeed normal on a diesel MB... it takes a lot of load to get there, or a lot of outside heat... or a lot of dirt in the radiator... but it will show 100C and still be operating normally.

everything clean and working properly though, the car should not see 100C
