RJC_9878 by srblythe, on Flickr I've got some projects coming up for sale if anyone is interested? First up, a 1985 Mercedes w123 240d. It starts goes and stops, has a 5 speed manual gearbox and a 4 cylinder straight diesel engine. Runs incredibly well and will go forever but also take forever to get you there! It's really slow! 169k on the clock, mot ran out last year and hasn't been for another test, I reckon it will need a cv boot. Bodywork is tatty but I don't see any rust it'll fail an mot on.

This one owes me around £1500 and I'd like that back but feel free to make an offer. Located Fife, Scotland

mot ran out last year and hasn't been for another test, I reckon it will need a cv boot. At least they didn't pick up on the CV boot! Cool motor, hopefully someone will put the work in to save it.

Yeah, I fixed the cv boot before the test. I bought a replacement steering box last night so most likely it will be me putting in the work to save it.

I once tried to remove a steering box from a scrapper W123. I broke two powerbars and gave up.
Good luck sorting yours.
