1998 'S' Mercedes E300 TD Estate
196k miles
MOT Jan 2015
Tax end of month
This has been my daily smoker for the last 3 1/2 months, having been used for a 70 mile round trip six days per week. I'm getting rid as the tax runs out soon, it has a number of faults (listed below) that I can't be bothered to sort and will use my 2.2 Sonoma instead.
Faults:
Screen wash bottle leaks so needs filling every week (pipe split/disconnected)
Rear screen wash doesn't work
Sunroof tilts but doesn't slide
Pass. Side airbag switched off - presumably someone has carried a child seat in the front. No idea how to switch back on.
Needs new front ARB bushes
Exhaust blow at back box (weldable)
Runs rough when cold - has done this since I have had it. I nurse it along for five minutes and then restart it. Runs fine thereafter.
Bodily, it is typical MB for the era - bubble in all the usual places.
All aside, I would drive this anywhere at any time. It actually has pretty good service history (even dealer at 190k) odd! New battery fitted Jan. It goes like stink when warm and has never not started first turn of the key (of which I have a spare).
£250 or swaps for chevy wheels or blazer front end
