Regarding your decision to buy a W123 as your primary vehicle. These vehicles are more than 40 years old, so keep that in mind first. That being said, the W 123 is undeniably a top-tier Mercedes-Benz. Some of the critical components, meanwhile, are becoming more elusive, so keep that in mind. Because certain goods are not available anymore, I would assume that you will have to take a break from driving at some point to wait for a part or another. However, if you are really set on purchasing a W123, it must be a pristine, one-owner vehicle with very few miles on the odometer. This is not your average W123. Any vintage Mercedes in this condition will fetch a pretty penny. Therefore, I will wish you well and hope that you pursue your passion.

Hello everyone So I'm looking for some feedback and suggestions on how to make the most of my W123 as a daily driver. These automobiles have always been my style icon, and I even had a short stint driving one for work a few years ago. Looking at the possibility of utilising a W123 as a daily vehicle travelling around 5,000 to 6,000 miles a year, piqueing my interest in antique automobiles, which I've always had. The comfortingly overengineered feel and renowned dependability of these automobiles are selling points for me. I am not in the market for a restoration project and would like not to have a historic automobile that requires continual maintenance; nonetheless, it would need outdoor storage. Considering a 230E automatic. At what price are replacement parts for these automobiles now available? Can I obtain a good automobile for $5,000 to $6,000? I noticed air conditioning isn't standard on these vehicles; would it be possible to retrofit it? I asked a lot of questions in my initial post, and I apologise, but I thought this was the best spot to obtain practical assistance. Best regards

With all the options out there, it may be difficult to choose which brands are worth buying.

The Miller's Ecomax Diesel that I use claims to clean injectors and increases the fuel's cetane rating to levels comparable to V-Power. For the last fifteen years or more, I've relied on it, and every time I switch cars, I notice an improvement in my gas mileage after the first few hundred miles.

Here is one that has received positive feedback. It's hard to prove the actual gain, but I've utilised it. The correctional values improved following its use, at least.

For the next several full tanks, you may try running it on shell v-power diesel. and heated up on the highway for a couple of hours, etc.

Hello everyone Last week, I took my vehicle to the mechanic to have the cam cover gasket repaired. While there, oil started spilling over the DPF.They said the injectors appeared filthy and sooted up; do you know of any good diesel additives that will remove this buildup?

To the south of me, you can see them. They have a workshop that I want. My carbon fibre brolly is just one example of the attention to detail that they shown when I worked with them a few years ago.

I am grateful. I couldn't resist checking out their website. That is really amazing 😍

Wow, such a fantastic gift. Embrace it with open arms. If you have a four-day ticket, my recommendation is to take it easy on the first day since you will be too tired and blistered to enjoy the rest of the trip. Out of all the show stands, my fave is Lanzante. They bring the house down for even the most well-known businesses.

Although I hardly use an umbrella, I will certainly be bringing one with me 👌.

Thank you for the video. Boosts my excitement even farther 😝

Right now at GW, the Johnny Walker Blue Label is looking great.

Come prepared, since it is often rather packed. Because it is so large, there is a lot of walking involved. Remember to bring a hat or sunscreen. The weather is notoriously hard to forecast. Since they began, I have only failed to attend three of them.

Before you know it, you'll be captivated

I go annually; it's incredible! On the other hand, last year was unbearably hot. For reference, here is my video from the previous year

This year, my girls surprised me with tickets to Goodwood, which would be held over three or four days. I usually just watch it on TV, but I've never attended. If anybody has any suggestions for things to do or places I really must see, I would much appreciate it. I understand it's still a ways off, but I'm eager 😁

I'm willing to guess that your Mazda dealer is using an outdated version of the Connect firmware as they seldom update it while servicing customers' cars. Because of the car's antiquated firmware, Mazda dealer service is always reactive, but I'd rather take a proactive approach with Mazda Connect.
