Re: [MBZ] Non-Project 240D in Washington

Congrats, Jim!  I'm still workin' with my 300CD.  It has new tires on it 
now, and it's running better.  It sure does puff blue smoke at times (I 
think that there's a weak hole too).  As far as power goes, its probably a 
270CD.  I'm gonna keep on floggin' it hard and hope that it comes around. 
I've got nothin' to lose since I've only got $800 in it including the tires, 
tags and title transfer.  I do need to replace the right front wheel bearing 
(any gotchas involved in that job)?  I thought that the hum was coming from 
the rear of the car, but with the floormats out, I can REALLY feel the 
vibration beneath my feet while sitting in the passenger's seat.  I've done 
older American cars with drum brakes (a corvair car and a Greenbrier van), 
but never a disk brake equipped car which shouldn't make much difference 
other than removing the caliper.
