Re:
Not sure if this is as big of a problem in Europe, but in the US, the 1990-1995 models have been known to suffer from deteriorating wiring harnesses. Something about the wire insulation material not being up to snuff, Mercedes never officially recognized the issue, and many disgruntled owners. Most of the complaints that I've seen involve the gas powered cars, not the diesels. I've always admired the W124 coupe. My favorite quote from a car review at the time is "It looks like it's carved from a single block of unobtanium." Good luck with your search.
