The 'ole W124 has been running poorly for awhile, and recently started making some strange sounds.

Decided to garage it as I haven't had an ounce of time to work on it.

Found a number to an MB mechanic given to me by a paint shop owner who was doing a body-off paint shoot on a W124...got the number three years ago.

Met the guy and left him the vehicle. Told him I wanted the engine brought back to its former glory and to fix anything he saw needing replacement.

Turned out the ailing gal only needed a thorough tuneup! He did the plugs, changed the engine and tranny oil, replace the air and fuel filter and threw on a new belt. He also replaced a few broken and missing parts, and did the whole thing to the tune of $650!

Car runs like a champ now, and all engine problems have disappeared!

He has a full plate at his shop, so I've rescheduled to bring it back for cosmetic repairs...including headliner replacement!

If this keeps up, I just might be able to actually focus on enhancements for the W124 instead of just barely keeping it running!

Love my new indie!!!
