Another thought about older MB's; 124's and 126's., I have an 84 300CD and
a '87 300SDL, with fairly high mileage on both. Since I have owned them I
have not driven them hard at all, barely ever hitting 75mph. Would it be
bad for the engines to just start driving them faster and harder?? Should
there be a "breakin" period, say driving a little faster gradually? Just
wanting to do the best for these beauties.
