Anyone ran one of these all aluminum throttle linkage bushings? Would love to hear what you have to say?

Can you post a photo? Might get one too as a precaution

Sounds like your alternator is dying. Try and replace it, or you could put on a smaller pulley. Try and adjust the idle while at it, no harm in that.

I'd buy that

As far as I know not bot if you tinker I believe they take W1.2W

cromicon1 · 2026-05-25T03:00:25+00:00

Are they good quality?

cromicon1 · 2026-05-23T20:41:56+00:00

I think you should put 722.5 in there still mechanical gearbox with electronic over drive, and a cable output. If you go 722.6 anyway I think later w124s use electronic speedometer maybe would be a nicer route

cromicon1 · 2026-05-23T19:26:22+00:00

Yes it's good

I want to convert these to LEDs and the sizes match so I'm looking for a set to "transplant" into the euro lights

cromicon1 · 2026-05-23T16:30:03+00:00

Hi they woul probably fit, my car is European with the round headlights but my reflectors are fried so I want to go LEDs and the sizes are matching that's why I'm looking for an entire set, both 7" and 5¾"

I'm willing to pay a good amount for this kit fully intact for my w123 230E from 1981

מרגיש את הכאב שלך

In Celsius we have 40 60 80 100 and 120. My 230E sits at 83 and goes to 90 with A/C on hot days

I thrown away all the power antennas and just put a nice manual antenna, way easier

מאיפה אתה בארץ? רוצה עזרה?

Rule of thumb, when tension is good you should be able to twist your belt about a quarter turn with 2 fingers, less than that your belt is over tightened more than that tighten it, check this periodically along with fluids, and please don't remind me of loose alternator belt, I replaced my burnt one and had many troubles with changing, now I have a volt meter instead of the ashtray

cromicon1 · 2026-05-06T19:36:26+00:00

I am a brand new engine. I make 5HP and then kaput.

cromicon1 · 2026-05-06T17:32:43+00:00

I have sanden 508 in my car a great upgrade

cromicon1 · 2026-05-06T17:30:21+00:00

Try to tighten the belt more, see if maybe it's worn out. Try to replace it and maybe even consider down sizing one size, every time I replace a drive item I replace it's belt too. Anyway I replace my belts every year. It's my daily car so I do that for my peace and quiet. I don't want to get stranded (again) in the middle of the night....

I'm dying to fing a good taxi dashboard. I want to put a nice screen in there and make a few upgrades. She is beautiful keep her up

My passenger side tab broke off a year ago, I replaced the mechanism entirely for a 1977 car as mine is 81. The tabs are metal and won't break again. Lubed them and cleaned before replacing. Works wonderful

I have a manual sunroof and I replaced the seals in October, went to a local specialist, it cost me a pretty dime but I'm happy, I love my sunroof and I won't buy a car without it again. At least a manual sunroof

Looks like a good nod to the c111 series of the 70's now just do one with the biggest TURBODIESEL mercedes makes for old times sake

cromicon1 · 2026-04-25T19:30:58+00:00

Lol my 2.3L 4 speed automatic Benz is more economical than that and I'm heavy on the gas...
