Radiator swap out, suggestions?
We might be picking up another 300E but it was wrecked and the radiator has to be changed. (at least thats what they tell us)
Still have not seen the car in person yet.
the car is out of town, needs to be drivable before Weds.
My dad should be able to do the install himself if we can find a radiator.
Can i get a universal Radiator to fit on there? or does it have to be specifically for the W124?
At the moment were Hoping to find a junkyard with parts. Doubt anyone will be open this close to Christmas though.
Thanks everyone
and have a safe and MERRY CHRISTMASS

Before Wed?
Good luck on that one. I would go to www.mercedessource.com but they are likely to be closed or you could try www.thebenzbin.com... that is a narly deadline

lots of cars
I would also check that the fan pulley is not bent...man, if you where here in cali you can get one for about $100. I don't think a aftermarket would fit because of all the different angles on the hoses but a radiator is just a radiator so i guess if you can get one to fit it would work.
