Hi looking for a merc for work / keep . Want to run veg oil would I be better with a 210 or the older 124 estate. What are your opinions and merits on each . Are the non turbo 124 300d that slow?

Many Thanks Matt

I drive an old Audi 1.9tdi so not fast as it is, but fine for my 70 mile journey to work and back. Fancy a bit of a classic and the 124 seems to tick both boxes. Would like a muti valve but they are hard to find at a sensible price.

Wow that's some turbo!!!!

Had a look at a couple of 124 but have bought a 210 7 seater, as its my first merc I'll see how it goes as it is only for the work commute.
