Heh. Try them first. You might fall in love.

NO ONE can do *comfy* car seats like the French. Usually as comfortable as
expensive furniture, while not feeling mooshy (unless of course these are
shot).

If you want ergonomic seats, it's the Swedes.

The relation of a 115 to a 126 is cousin once removed. The 116 is the 
older sister, whereas the 123 is the cousin to the 126 and 116. The 140 
is the younger and uglier step sister to the 126. Guess that makes the 
201 the runt of the litter.

The seller is right: the Peugeot seats will be 20 times more comfortable than 
original MB seats, especially compared to crumbling W115 seats! You haven't 
experienced a car seat until you've sat in an old Citroen or Peugeot, 
preferably made between the 50s and the 80s.

The original seat in the 66 Bronco U110 I had was so bad that 60 
miles was unbearable.  This was at the tame time I drove my 200D 1000 
miles at a time nearly nonstop.  I went to the junkyard and got the 
front seats and tube mounting frames form a volvo, and after moving 
one of the mounting tabs 90 degrees, bolted them in the bronco.  What 
a difference!

I have never sat in a poog.  Volvo at the time (72) had better seats 
than MB, and in a college town were easy to find,

Marketingwise but not technologywise.  123 and 126 share suspension
designs, as do 124 and 201, and 107 and 115.

Not sure about the 116 and 210.  (Long lost cousins maybe?  I have in
fact heard both chassis described by different people as driving like
a sofa.)

and the predecessor to the 114/115 is the 110.  THe predecessor to 
the 116 is the 108/109 and its predecessor is the 111/112  If you go

Poog had Volvo beat, there. In addition to the two Poogs,  my family,
had a '60 122S, a 142S, and a '69 164. The latter was the first year
they went up against the Mercedes 280, and although the Volvo's
suspension was in no way comparable, the leather buckets were
fantastic, and the car went like hell--0-60 in 8.8 seconds, which in
those days was damn near muscle-car fast. Exceptional, considering
the thing was riding on very narrow tires and had a pretty poor
weight distribution.

do the w115.  You will enjoy the ability to putter around on it and 
know it is simple to work on.  Then any other car you get after that 
will be such a speed demon  you will be amazed.  You will also fondly 
recall what a stout steed that old 240D was.

[OK Don]

IMHO, the 115 chassis drives better than the 123.The 126 is better yet!
However, I'd FAR rather work on a 123 240D than a 115 240D, given the
choice! At least if the 115 has air conditioning. Even tightening the
alternator belt could be a pain on that car, and we won't even mention
the heater blower motor 

OK - I could be wrong - my experiences were with the 220D and the 300D
115 cars - never actually laid hands under the hood of a 115 240D.

If the heater blower motor isn't working, I'm passing on it.  I don't think 
that the alternator belt on the W115 240D's are much of a problem, at least 
the one on the $100 220D wasn't.  I remember a post quite a while ago where

I've never met a vintage Mercedes that didn't have front and rear windshield

been in dry, inside storage or outside under the elements.  I'm hoping for 
the former.

[Jim Cathey]

someone (stewart S I believe?) was  discussing the 4 hour alternator
replacement on his 1976 300D.


That York gets in the way of _everything_!  I'm thinking
that alternator work on those is best done from below.

Because SDL's are much harding to come by?

I'm ready to put my $700 from the sale of the 300CD into another car.  I
put
an ad out there for a cheap fixer, and I've got options.  The first is a
Manny tranny 1974 240D with crank windows (imagine that!) that runs and
looks good, starts dependably and has  no issues other than a dying
battery
from being in storage for the past few years.  Since it's not at the
lady's
house, she didn't know the mileage, but I'll be looking at it later in the
week.  The second is a 1982 300SD with 290K on it, it needs tires, it's
got
power window problems, a stuck sunroof, non-working ACC and cruise
control,
and I believe it also has an oil leak (no idea of where and how severe it
is).  The guy has been trying to sell this car placing multiple ads with
no
luck.  I like both models, but the 300SD seems like it needs someone like
Jim Cathey to sort it all out, not necessarily a bad deal.  The 240D is
rock
solid and simple, so...?
I just can't go too long without a Mercedes diesel!

I prefer the looks of the 123, but for driving I'd probably prefer
the 126.

Here I am!

The part I can't quite figure out is why you can't seem to
go too long _with_ a Mercedes diesel!  :-)

You need to find one you really like, and then stick with
that awhile maybe.  Turnover costs (various) are gonna getcha.

[kevin kraly]

Sunil,

I've always wanted a nice W115, and this may just be it.  The exterior and 
interior are both the creamy yellow/beige color, and if it looks and runs as 
nice as Melody tells me, she can consider it sold.  It will get an oil and 
filter change, new fuel filters, oilbath air filter cleaning, valve 
adjustment/timing chain check, fresh fuel  and some Italian tune-up action!


Kevin in Hillsboro Oregon, ready for my first W115 

Re: [MBZ] 1974 240D $700 or 1982 300SD $800?

[kevin kraly]

You're right, Jim.  Finding the right one is KEY, and if it's the wrong one, 
it should be one that's worth some bucks.  I really do want one to have 
around for a while.  The 73 220D wasn't the right W115, but hopefully, this 
one will be a keeper.


Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon, hoping for a long term MB diesel car 
relationship soon

This is the one I went and looked at before I settled on my 79 240D (just

See or do a search on Big Lot

http://www.thebiglot.com/ad_auto.asp?WI=945342612MK=MERCEDES%20BENZMD=240DPN=1AT=1;

Car is still for sale, guy called me today he would reduce price.  Might be 
worth a look see, I think the tranny made need work or some vacuum 
adjustments if applicable for that model.  If you are looking for a 115 
chassis this is pretty nice very very little if any rust., I drove her not 
bad, but needs some work, minor stuff as these cars always need.

Body is in very good shape,
