1.4 throttle cable?

Hello folks, hope you're all doing okay amidst the madness we find ourselves in! Just wondering if anyone's got a spare one of the above laying about? They seem to be difficult to come by, can't find any on eBay or the other usual places. Suspect it might be a case of having to have one made or the ...

This also happens once the engine is up to temperature, under normal driving conditions, particularly at low revs. Additionally...

'86 340 DL

Hey guys. I used to knock around on here under the name of Tom, but I forgot the password for my old account, and so I'm bombadilian now. Just thought I'd share some pics of my '86 DL, my third 300.

Fan issue.

Hello fair folk of V3M, hope you're all keeping well. The recent hot weather has highlighted an issue with the rad fan on my DL, it's not kicking in at all.
