Malaysian Spec 124's

Yesterday at my MB Parts dealer, I had the opportunity to peak over his shoulder at his EPC. He entered my chassis # (WDB 124 026 6B 777 708) with some rather interesting results.

Firstly my car is equipped with the "Special Offroad Package" and the "Suspension for Higher Ground Clearance". Does anyone know, apart from the springs, what else would be different on the suspension between regular 124's and my 'gravel spec' rally machine?

However, the prize option were the "bi-xenon lights with curve, for right" (or something to that effect). On a '92 W124. Must have been an error on his EPC, though I wish it wasn't

Cheers,

P.

What the heck is "heat-insulating glass"? Sounds like an option a lot of us drivers of old MB's with dysfunctional AC could use...

Alex,

I wish I could tell you - unfortunately this option is part of the Deleted Items for Malaysia package, as to qualify for CKD status MB has to use some local parts, one of them being local glass. Which is clear, cr@p & has no heat resistent property whatsoever. I have resorted to the standard method of applying 'heat-resistant' tinting film instead for some respite from our tropical sun/heat.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

P.

Accurate...

Kaz,

I very much appreciate you looking that up - its really nice to get this personalised info on my very own MB. Also, this description also sounds a lot more accurate than the one my parts dealer brought up.

Out of interest, what did you use to look up this info? I am thinking of investing in the appropriate CD.

Thank you again & happy holidays.

Cheers,

P.
