Ive Bought a Cheap Project Mercedes! Worth The Risk?

[@karter5351]

173,000 on Merc, only just run in if the 'Durability Quality and Reliability' rumour is to be believed. Not surprised to see some rust coming through with it having a Scottish Reg. MOT history looks quite good, but recent owners not too bothered about tyres going by the history and the mismatched ditchfinders

I have the same car with 365.000 km. It was always a little bit wet with oil underneath but nothing major. Until the amount of oil started getting bigger. I found the cause of the problem. I had to change the o ring from the oil line coming from the block to the turbo. It Was leaking more and more. Pretty easy job. Remove the airfilter box. And the heat shield underneath. And then you can acces the pipe. Maybe something to replace proactive. ;-). Good luck with your new project. I love driving mine.
