After longish jounries, it would take four/five full turnovers to start. Have replaced small return valve and accumulator under tank. Everything OK for two months then problem has returned - only won't start at all until left to go really cold..but other times OK!<br>
Have repalced all usual electrics ie leads, coil, ignition box, etc so is it a fuel pressure problem and what should I replace next?<br>
Thanks

I don't know which model you have. But, I just learned that my 88CE has 2 fuel pumps. At least one of them was going bad. I had the same problem, among others, and I think mine is cured now. I just got it back from my mechanic couple days ago.

    How did I come to be the owner of this 1985 300CD? Having owned a W201, 2 W124s and a W126 300SD I had read and heard so much about the W123 cars that I knew this would be the next Benz for me. I knew right from the start that it would have to be the coupe body style. I wanted something a bit...

Now I am confused on what color my carpets are. The sample Palomino swatch from GAHH in there...
