Hi guys I need help with finding few windscreen molding clips for my merc w124. Without the clip they cant start final painting coat to start the assembling process. All the work is hold due to this.. any leads where I can source these? Checked with Avinda they are out of stocks and next shipment will be in 3 months as per them..

Couldn't start my car for almost 2-3 weeks since i wasn't at home.. However, i got a chance to start it yesterday and i let it idle for 10 mins after starting. Car started at first attempt and cold start idle was at the correct RPM as well. After about 10 minutes rpm started to fluctuate 1000-2000 .. but when i keep the throttle steady to 2000 or more it doesnt do it. it only happens in idle. before quarantine there was no such issue.
could this be a clogged IACV, throttle body? what should i look into? have my ECo test pending so i have to attend to this within next week and get it sorted by any means.

My initial thought was to finish the restoration process by end of April. Due to CORONA, it seems like this will drag up until July (atleast), because by end of April rain season will start. Too bad i have to wait longer to get things done.hmmm

Well well well.... went to visit my beloved on going project after couple of months and its coming together pretty soon. base coat is on and they are doing final touches after that many layers of paint will go in. I've chosen a nice 2 tone colour and i'm pretty sure she will look amazing after the paint job. can't wait till its done.
I may need some interior bits and pieces to make it perfect and up to my standard .. any leads are highly appreciated..- Show previous comments 5 more

@AVANTEHere is a sneak peak of the car from my last visit, couldn't go last weekend hopefully coming weekend to verify and finalize the colour.
This is before, final base coat.. -
It's an E250D right? 5 cyl turbo? Those AMG wheels cost a fortune. You could go for a similar looking cast rim from a different brand rather than a diamond cut or forged one. Remember, wheels are important and can completely change the car's character and handling. Also, there are a set of black w126 seats for sale in 1km4n. Would that need retrofitting?
Also keep a lookout on fb, it's a really weird place. You never know what amazing stuff comes up for sale once in a while there.

@AVANTE yes its a 250D 5 cylinder non turbo version. yah true that those wheels cost a fortune. That's why i put em on my bucket-list I also saw those bluish interior (i guess those should be direct fit to mine). But im specifically looking at black leather or fabric interior parts (cz my seats are good just some door parts and some dash board bits and pieces are required. I will keep an eye on FB as well as other sources. Do let me know if you come across anything please. Thanks in advance.

Strange behavior in my AC speed control. Last saturday when i was driving (AC speed was set to 2) suddenly air flow stopped. I tried switching off and on still no luck. But in 1-2 i hear the compressor running but no air flow. Air flows only when I use 3-4 speed. Any idea whats causing this?
