Hi I have been looking for a 940/740 diesel for ages, without luck, willing to travel
Still learning about 940's .......what makes a 940 Wentworth ?? and when did the diesel turbo and diesel turbo intercooler arrive. I assume they evolved on later cars Many thanks |

Hi, have had Mercedes D300 W124's in the past which are excellent engines, but the rust is getting to them now. The galvanised Volvo seems to be hanging in there much better and I still want rear wheel drive
Had an VW LT pick up truck with the 5 cylinder diesel and loved it. Very agricultural ;-) |

You think that - wait to you get your hands on the 6-cyl D24 - it sounds even more like a commercial vehicle which is part of it's appeal for so many of us!! |

![]() Good luck with the search! They're pretty rare beasts now. Mine hasn't been used much the last few years (since Covid) but will hopefully get out and about this month ![]() |

Mine did over 40 mpg on a France trip, they seem to enjoy long journeys!😀 Funny isn’t it? There were two around on eBay before Christmas, were on for ages. Not bad ones either if memory serves! |

I think it took until the 940 for the intercoolers to be standard - but they're an easy retrofit if you can find the parts ![]() |

I have missed two after finding a particular website, but found them too late unfortunately
Have just come across a 93 saloon, would rather the estate, but beggars can't be choosers Just over 200K on the clock. Thanks for the heads up on the turbo/intercooler |

Lots of petrol estates and some really good looking ones as well
How many modern cars would last like this. Take a look at other makes of similar age and most are all but disappeared Think I will sit it out for a diesel estate to come along, decided to be a chooser, rather than a beggar ;-) |

Have you got a link to the saloon diesel? I do like seeing what saloons are left.
