Heads up cheap dealer part - W123 skid pan / skid plate
G'day Folks,
200T over on BenzWorld got a bargain from the dealer last week Factory skid plate installation how to - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum I don't know for sure if the price drop is world wide but I've ordered one quick! Unfortunately they haven't reduced the price of the floor pan I need so I'm still holding out on that one... Anyway pop over to the other side (follow the link) for the part numbers of the clips and the little rubber bits you might want to order as well!

Apparently you would need two of these 124 987 07 40 - but I've just been informed that they come with the skid plate - see BW thread.

I called my dealer and he quoted me $76 for the skid plate. I pressed him further and he says there's only 23 left in the country.

Oh no! This is getting worse and worse.
It looks like I've found a niche in the market if only I could organise cheap shipping. (Which I can't - I've tried and tried and tried and I can't)

Does the plate impact the drain direction of the oil pan plug? Access?

My dealer was able to order one for me
 Perfect timing that these are in stock again because my oil pan needs to be replaced... and I don't want to have this problem again! Hopefully this will protect it.

Yes! Got one for each car!
Been wanting these for years, found the thread linked in #1 a few days ago, but once word got out on here, I figured I better jump on them! Told my dealer these might be the only two of these he sells all week!

Just ordered two for my cars.
Apparently there are now 17 left in the US. 13 in New Jersey and 4 somewhere in Montana.
