The buyer is waiting for a call from an interested party by tomorrow morning one way or the other. Two people did that to me when I had my 240D up for sale and never called back! I’ll be looking at it tomorrow morning if the person flakes which I hope they do! > > Now, onto the questions. > > The car has a few minor issues, > 1. a window motor out: How difficult is S124 window motor replacement?

Windows aren't that hard to tear down from what I can remember, so shouldn't be too bad. > 2. The highbeams are stuck on, and they have the switch to replace it. Is this a common failure mode, not the switch at all, or other possibilities? Same applies to the steering column switches. Once you get it apart, just snap in the replacement part and you should be all good. > 3. The tranny sometimes shifts hard is most likely vacuum related, not too worried about that.

What color is this car? Light blue with a dark blue interior? > > Sunroof works, AC does not. I’m getting good feelings about this one. It has 250K+ miles, and the engine, according to the seller, is solid. Where is the casting number on the head to determine if it’s a #14, #17 or #22 head? It's on the head beneath the intake manifold. Pretty hard to see, but a good light should help. I *might* have an image somewhere. I'll try to find one tomorrow. > > TIA! > > Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon, Nervous about taking the plunge into the S124 Diesel Realm > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
