Re: [MBZ] Gelaendewagen mit OM617
I repainted my G and had to replace both floor panels, door sills, and both taillight panels. I also painted the new and original floor panels with truck bed liner(did myself). I spent less about 6k. To get to 10k for a paint job, seems you would need a frame off recon. Sent from Dr. Scruggs, Gulf Coast Oral, Facial, and Dental Implant Surgery iPhone.

Re: [MBZ] Mini split ductless heat pump

I also bought a 2nd thermostat for the main furnace so that I could call for heat from my bedroom in the opposite end of the house from the mini split. After an hour of operation with the mini split set for 74°, the hall thermostat reads 72°. (it's 28°F and sunny outside and the hall t-stat is set for 68°, so no furnace with the mini split running unless I set up the bedroom t-stat).

Re: [MBZ] Mini split ductless heat pump

Re: [MBZ] 1997 E-class turbodiesel?!?
I have a 1996 and my understanding is the 1996 1997 are NA and the 1998-99 are turbodiesels. The badge is probably fake. I would probably not buy one where turbo had been added or aftermarket. The NA diesel is not as fast nor as fuel efficient, but I can say I think it is a great vehicle having put about 40k miles on mine (120-160k). Good luck Sent from my iPhone On Nov 7, 2011, at 4:27 PM, Max meadedil...@bellsouth.net wrote: On my 95 with the NA version of that engine, there is a shocking amount of room on the exhaust manifold side of the engine, no plastic blocking the view.
