My 82 300CD is a turbo and has VIN XXXXX00013 so they probably started production that year. Bruce

Turbo starting 1982, ending 1985. Can't remember when the 123 coupe first came out, but through 1981 the diesel was NA. _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net Bruce 82 300CD 334kmi 'His' 85 300CD 240kmi 'Hers' 75 240D 202kmi 'Donner' 77 240D 204kmi 'Blitzen' --------------------------------- Bring words and photos together (easily) with PhotoMail - it's free and works with Yahoo!

We have 2 wood stoves, one of which heats 24/7. We also cook on it and in it. If/when power goes out, we have heat and a place to cook.There is a balcony just outside our kitchen and dining room, we put perishables in coolers out there. I live a stone's throw away from a pristine clean (certified drinking water) 32 mile long lake. Water can be had from there, many other local lakes or several springs in the area year-round. Why does your furnace require so much power? Is it an antique or something special? All electric, no fuel? We have a 1 1/2 year old oil fired hot water unit that I installed to replace the junk Utica Boiler that was installed in 86-87, when the house was built. Neither pulled much power at all. The new one used 42% less fuel, in its first year of operation and has a higher output by about 6,000 BTUs. If you're on electric heat only, I feel for you, as I know some folks around here that spend way too much to heat their homes. Some in the $700-$900/month range. Our boiler, installed was less than $2,000 and it is a very high quality cast iron unit built by Burnham. Of course I got a discount through a plumber/HVAC buddy and did the lion's share of the work myself. Johnny B. I Mac Therefore I am
