Anyone need a balanced 124 300D driveshaft?  I have 2 spare


No


How about 124 300D complete exhaust system.  I have 2 spare


Yes, front pipe at least.


2 new motor mounts, 124 300D, still in the box.  Not MB, not uro.  BBE
or something like that.


Probably. I need to check.


I also have a new transmission mount I'd sell.  It fits at least, 123,
124, 126, 107.


I have a Uro for a 123 I was going to throw in the trash.
I did't realize the fitments for 123, 124 are the same.

why do you need a hood?

I'm seriously considering buying that 1992 300D with 280Kmi on it (the

will one cost me?  Anyone out there -happen- to have an extra one?

2)  There's a tear in the MB-Tex.  Is this repairable?  If not, how much

Hi Sunil,

Hi Sunil,

1) Should be pretty easy. Any hood from 1986-1993 in Smoke Silver will
work, although the color may be slightly off . I'd try to find one
locally, as shipping a hood is both expensive and risky (hard to avoid
damage in transit). I've got a spare trunk lid in Smoke Silver, but no
hood, sorry.

2) The seat back will be harder to find used - most places will want

leather seats as an upgrade, but otherwise just buy a new Tex backrest
from Rusty.

True story.

A lady I used to work with swerved to avoid a rabbit  had a head on
collision with a mini-van. She justified her actions by stating that She did
not want to hurt the poor rabbit.

Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, except for the poor rabbit. She
hit the rabbit anyway! I wasn't at the scene of the crime but others told me
that She picked up the poor rabbit and cried.

I threatened to paint small rabbits down the side of Her car and the
conversation went down hill from there.

Re: [MBZ] 124 parts needed Deer vs Benz battle to a 27-49 end

[Kevin J. Slater]

I thought the rule of thumb was, if it's lower than the hood, run it over
and if it's over the hood try to avoid it. Obviously, if there's no room
or if there are obstacles in the way, you have to plow into the creature.
I've got a new driver coming on line and 3 more to follow and that's what
I plan to teach them.

And no, I don't subscribe to the theory that people are too stupid to
learn proper driving techniques (like our 3rd political party, the
bureaucrats do). It's a matter of training and thinking when you find
yourself in a bad situation.

 True story.

 A lady I used to work with swerved to avoid a rabbit  had a head on
 collision with a mini-van. She justified her actions by stating that She
 did
 not want to hurt the poor rabbit.

 Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt, except for the poor rabbit.
 She
 hit the rabbit anyway! I wasn't at the scene of the crime but others
 told
 me
 that She picked up the poor rabbit and cried.

 I threatened to paint small rabbits down the side of Her car and the
 conversation went down hill from there.

 Thanks,

 The reason they tell people not to swerve is because most people have
 trouble maitaining control of their cars in sudden swerving maneuvers.
 Hitting a deer is rarely lethal, but people *do* get killed when they
 try to avoid a deer and hit a tree or telephone pole instead.

After all these years of driving through some of the worst Bambi

night.  Arleen was driving back, when suddenly Bambi made a desperate 
attempt to dash across before the beloved 124 TD.   The state has been 
blasting out ads to ruin your car, don't swerve in an attempt to lower 
the population they refuse to let people shoot, except in limited

Anyone have, or know of 124 parts?  Hood, Grille, Left fender, radiator, 
evaporator, left headlight assy., right headlight door, brackets, clips, 
and maybe more.  kleb?  I may need to take a trip to Okieland after all

Its idiodic to swerve to avoid animals unless they are big enough to 
tear up your car.  I never try to hit small animals but I sure am not 
going to swerve to miss them and cause bigger problems.

Re: [MBZ] 124 parts needed Deer vs Benz battle to a 27-49 end

I hit a deer several years ago in our 78 240D. While cruising at 55-60 mph I 
remember a brown blur, a thud and the hood was suddenly wrinkled.   The deer 
was dead as soon as he/she hit the ground IMO.  ~$2500 later I was driving 
again.  Our insurance came thru like I hoped they would.


Now, it's our primary car since my wife was hit a month ago and her Chrysler 
was totalled.  Love that diesel!  And my wife is crazy about it again now 
that the $2.50 bushing in the control rod has been replaced - it drives *so* 
much better - I can see why so many people bought them when new.

That sounds like a good one. :)

I agree.  Unfortunately, the system that's in place doesn't make people 
learn, and very few people have the initiative to learn on their own.  
Most people will have never experienced the outer edges of their cars' 
performance envelope until they're forced to in an emergency.
