And it's got a cute little dent in the left rear that looks like a big

It's probably to handle the additional weight in the rear - more weight
means it needs more braking power. If you don't load up the rear, the sedan
calipers would most likely be fine, and better than no rear brakes!

I have one front shock I got off the E500 at the knacker, it still had
rear bags but bags are not much, could be a reasonable deal

I agree. Nice car and 49 state non-problematic version. Worth $15k on
private sale, maybe $22k at auction.

My only concern is that my indie tech (who has owned and repaired 123
diesels for decades) thinks that the RR caliper for the wagon differs from
that of the sedan. I will double check with Tom Hanson.

How's a 4.3L M113 compare to a W124 500E?
Here we are, 113.943 = 275hp.
500E = 322hp.

I wonder how much difference it makes. W123 will not have any fancy ABS nannies
and most of the braking is done by the front wheels anyway.

Does the EPC cover older 123s? Go to that and look up the part number
for your wagon and for sedans and see if they are different.
In any case a caliper is about the easiest thing to swap out on a 123,
if you can't chase down an

I guess I could fly over to Sydney, spend 2 weeks in quarantine, visit the

No clue. They are exclusive to the wagon on the 123.

They may be more prevalent than

201 420 02 83 64
These numbers from Autohausaz fit 1985 300TDT, 1987 190Dt, 1987 300TDT rear
calipers, all cars that I have owned and done brake jobs on.
There may be others too. I let my EPC subscription lapse when it was

The prices at the link given earlier seem reasonable, to somebody who
paid $120 in 1988 dollars (mail order) for Girling front calipers for
Saab 99.
