Jim Good. Drive it like you stole it and put some purge or other diesel additive in and push it hard. (Sorry Marshall, about eh additive part. My 240D is nothing like it was 4 years ago when I got it. Now borders on responsive to the throttle on the highway.

(One-one thousand, two-one thousand...) Roughly 25 seconds, which is in the ballpark for these. Having putted around on errands in this thing I must say that except for the sluggish acceleration it's a fairly pleasant little ride. Cold-blooded starting, though. -- Jim _______________________________________ 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
