Hi Gang,
In case anyone is interested, there is a w123 Wagon that is pretty complete at the Monrovia PAP. There is also an European Spec W123 4 door sedan with a gas engine there too! The European car still had it's cluster intact.

sorry, Max; I wasn't trying to be patronizing. Though I usually just lurk, I've gained a lot of knowledge and help about mercs from the contributors. Thanks to everyone.

Lawrence,
I assume you have the old style Glow Plugs?
If you are measuring from the tip of the plug to ground, your results are almost right. The tips of the plugs should step down in voltage from the one where the power is fed in to the one where the just off the tip goes to ground.
I think a better way to test the plugs would be to measure resistance form the tip to the just off the tip. All of the these should show a very low resistance - I don't remember - it may be as low as 3 ohms - but they definitely should show continuity. But for this to work properly, you have to disconnect all the zig-zag wires and other wires to the glow plugs (on a five cylinder, some of the wires are zig-zag).
In general, if a plug is blown, the whole string doesn't work any more. That should show up in my test as one (or more) not having continuity. In your test, there would only be voltage until you got to the blown one.
(Mine blows out the back one - the first that the voltage goes to - so once it blows - no other plugs are getting voltage.)
Maybe someone else will have a better explanation of your results.

#1 cylinder 10.5vdc. #2 nothing, #3 8.5vdc & #4 nothing. I think the problem
has been found. But how is it that some get voltage and some don't and some
less than others? I could be off but two cylinders get voltage and two don't.

I have desided to sell my 85 300CD. I have listed the car on ebay
item # 290539066625
This car has only 102777 miles on it, and in excelent condition I'm the second owner. Reason for selling, I have to many cars and need room in my garage. Tought I would let the group know if anyone is interested

| Heh.. I got tossed out of the Jag group. I mis-spent much of my youth fiddling about with XK Jags, 120 through E-type.. When I got out of the service, I bought and drove one of the 11 XK150S roadsters ever made. When I discovered the Jag group, I was severely disappointed to find it a group of old guys maundering on about sedans. One day, a fellow who owned a Mk10 (!!) sedan, announced he was going to install an early 5.3 V12 engine in the thing, I kind of reflexively answered that it seemed a good idea, a boat needs an anchor, and I was gone...for being rude. And I was. I regard the XJ6 as a sort or overpriced Brit Pinto... In defense, the fact that Jaguar actually builds sedans seems a boring marginal detail.. bk --- On Sat, 2/26/11, max_stemple <max_stemple@yahoo.com> wrote:

Even better is this one: 150568493761
Same drivetrain, sunroof, but with the Euro headlights and original Blaupunkt MW/LW/FM (to 104mhz) signal-seeking radio. No A/C.
'Don't know why the rear badging is missing....

ZOWIE ! . This is a 2.2 Liter mechanically fuel injected FOUR SPEED road burner ! sunroof ! aftermarket AC (fix) and crappy Pioneer stereo (toss & replace with vintage Becker from Garage) . Cheapo re - spray , sun dead seats ~ I wish I could go buy this one , it'd make a terrific rally car / commuter . Item # 140516703721 Why no underhood pictures ? . Watch to see how cheaply it goes . -Nate |
And I think they were/are/probably always will be the most beautiful car MB ever made. And then the interiors, with TONS of wood and all that leather. Oooh, baby....
Mark in Lakewood, CO
It'll probably go for over $20K. The sunroof IS a rare and desirable option.
Not ALL of his "facts" are completely accurate....
Better were the later versions with the same body, but with 2.5 and 2.8 litre engines. Seven main bearings meant for smoother running. More horsepower, too, of course!
Then, in '71-'72, they dropped all alloy V-8s in 'em....
