Bad points:
Bodywork - advisories on MOT. Both wings starting to suffer, rear boot lid and a 5p sized spot on drivers door. I have had the rear window removed and the area cleared of rust, welded and repainted at a cost of £400. Chassis is intact - jacking points all in good condition. Area beneath engine bay in need of attention although cosmetic and not affecting chassis.
Front wishbone bushes in need of replacing. Camber and tracking have not been realigned since new suspension was fitted
Fuel lines taking in small amounts of air causing slight vibration at idle - however i have the new o-ring parts and hope to install them into the fuel distributor this week to eliminate this problem. Common problem in old w201 and w124 diesels and will be fixed prior to sale
I'm moving abroad and cant take this with me. It has been my daily driver for the commute this past year, reliability as you'd expect from a W124 diesel engine and is a great motorway cruiser returning 40mpg on average
