Another ‘of the moment’ eBay purchase!

The last merc I owned was a 1981 230E and strangely this feels the same esp the throttle contraption beneath my right foot! It feels as well screwed together as my W123 although I’m told this period was poor on quality control for Mercedes.
So far so good and have racked up 500 odd miles without issue. Got if for the daily hack to work and will look to LPG’ing it soon. Anyway…

The question I have is what is ‘normal’ for the water temp display? Mine seems to sit just above 80deg. Also has anyone got some hints and tips for this model? She has 80k on the clock and merc history until 60k, history, MOTs etc all check out.

Thanks

Neil
