Hey, good news. Sometimes mechanics like to over complicate things and forget to try the simple things first (cough, read cheap fixes...)
I have a vague idea I'll be looking at a W124 estate when I land back in OZ. Perfect long haul road trip car, full of surfboards and bikes and all the essentials for car camping.

Yeah, it beggars belief doesn't it.
This was a well-regarded Merc specialist, too, with 4 other W124s in for work.
The only records I have of them being changed was in 1997, but the history is not complete. It took 2 pages of Internet advice on MBClub forums to narrow it down to 3 possibilities. I'm so glad it wasn't the EHA valve. Those things are pricey.
