This is the 123 HP 5 cylinder TURBO diesel (same engine found in the
124). It'll blow other MB diesels into the weeds.
Very rare car.

Bob,
start with a leaf blower and work down from there.
At least you had a decent tail wind through our valley yesterday!
Next time you make that trip, give a shout out and we'll have a
mini-fest or at least a cup of coffee along I-10.

Without knowing the offset (ET), hard to tell if they will fit or not.
The W126 takes an offset of around 25.
I bought some tires with wheels a few years ago and while the tread
was fine, they were sidewall checked and lasted only about a year
before I had an internal separation. Wouldn't do it
Roger, here's another thought.
Log on to www.tirerack.com and see if they offer that wheel size and
tire size in their upgrade area for the W126.
If yes, it would be a go as they are very good about this sort of thing.

US model diesels start in first, gas models start out in 2nd. Only
exception is my 85 380SL. All of the many gas W126 models I have owned
start out in 2nd and the W126 diesels started out in 1st.
For further clarification, check your specific owners manual.

nuttin' about W124's or Euro anything!

Speaking of evaporator failures, wonder if anyone knows when MB

When the Lister answers a question through Ebay, he/she has the option
to check boxes whether or not the Q and A will go on the listing page.
Sounds like the Lister checked the wrong box!
