I have a *discussion* going on here with the shop that is doing the engine replacement on my 1982 w126 SD.
I got an engine out of car I knew, slightly anyway, and drove once... an '85 w126 SD. Now that the donor car has been delivered to them, the shop is saying they can't stand by the original, quoted labour as they are going to have to change over my manifold, engine mount brackets, and possibly even the pump as the '85 has a 'later-generation' OM617 that 'has electronics'. HUH. First I ever heard there was a difference between OM617s, any large difference anyway, within the w126 series cars. Someone enlighten me, please and thankee thankee. -- "Mac" Steve MacSween Aylmer, Quebec (Canada) Mercedes: '82 300sd / '82 240d (x2) / '60 220s
