Does anyone have a picture of the engine compartment of a right-hand drive vehicle.

I'm curious if everything in the engine compartment is the same except for a steering wheel/brake unit or if other items have also been rearranged.

I'm just curious. Thanks.

My 124 E300D (egr has been disconnected and diverter flap locked open, hence the cable tie) :



the 108:



not a lot of difference normally, mainly just the brake booster/battery swapped around and steering gear.

Thanks guys!

Not much is different.

Just curious.

I don't believe you'll see a turbo on a right-handed 123 with a 617, unless someone retrofitted it.

You mean all w123 300D with right-hand drive are non-turbos?

I bet it would still fit, they'd just move it forward a bit. A California turbo/air cleaner setup would still work. Things would just be pretty cramped. Turbo w123's were pretty much only sold in the usa though.

I believe that's true. Alistair might comment since he's in the UK but I believe our UK and Aussie members have stated that turbo 123's were not available in their countries.

I thought the W123 300TD turbo wagons were available throughout all the European countries including the UK.
