I have fun and enjoy the challenges of getting a car back on the road. Have and 82 300D that I bought off of Ebay and completed and engine swap, engine came with the car. And had to complete an engine swap on my vehicle back up a 2002 BMW 525i sedan, nice riding car, but showing its age.
Good luck with your endeavor!

I did a scan on it, nothing too serious popped up except as below with ESP. Running OK but in trans limp mode so will need to get the ESP sorted. Cleaned the car up, it was not too bad at all, a good vacuuming and wash got it looking better. Will need a good paint buffing. Interior pretty clean, leather almost all quite good, one tear in the driver seat, will probably scrub the carpets at some point. Console lid release is broken, will have to sort that out. Plastic does not hold up well. It has the seats that the bottom goes forward and makes a lot longer leg support, very comfortable. The lumbar bags aren't working which I think is a common failure but could be a fuse or something. Not critical but would be nice to have. Found a loose/bad power connection at the power point in the passenger footwell, got that organized so most of the power funkiness has been sorted out but there might still be some niggling issues, more to come. Battery is not draining now so that is encouraging. The trunk lid release switch works intermittently as does the auto-lowering/raising windows when the door is opened and closed. Windows work though. I have not been through all the fuses yet. Hydraulic suspension pumps now and holds, probably needed some exercising to clear out any goobers in the lines and struts, so that is good. Still getting ABC error but that might go away, not clear why it should be there. I might be able to clear it. Has ABS and ESP errors which might be due to a bad module or connection, will take a look at that. Might have another module, in any case they are available on eBay for $35 or so. Fun times on a very cool complicated German car! Not bad for $1500 now that I have some of the issues sorted and the remaining ESP thing doesn't look too bad. -- --FT _______________________________________ http://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 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
