New member, and just bought a W124 300TE 24

First post, so greetings to everyone!


Always wanted a W124, and its exceeding all expectations(so far, at least...)

'92 White, grey leather,120K, Sportline, 5 speed auto, AC, cruise, orthopaedic heated seats etc etc.

Drove London to Edinburgh, leaving London just in time for M1/M6 Friday rush hour traffic nightmare. Torrential rain, fog, and ice on the way home Never missed a beat, and arrived 8hrs later surprisingly refreshed. I love it already!

Quick questions - The armrest/door grab handle on the passenger side is slightly loose & rattling. There doesn't appear to be screwed to tighten up, so I'm assuming its clipped to the door frame. Anyone had this/ tips on fixing?

The E S auto slider selector trim is missing from the top of the switch, although you can still select between them. Can this be replaced?

Is there somewhere to hook the rear lap belt when not in use, or does it just hang free, so to speak?

Any tips on maintenance/parts supply/tips etc would be very much appreciated from a first time Merc owner!
