Hi Max, You wrote <>
If it's like the one in my 78 240D W123 you should be able to clean it
easily. They are quite robust and easy to clean.
I bought a new one without knowing how they are made - I think it was around
$20 but that's pushing my memory back about 15 years. Never reliable. ;-)

1987 Mercedes 300D Turbo Diesel, This is a great fixer upper. I bought it

Awesome in the sense that with an AT and the AC running most of the time,
fuel economy was in the low 30s mpg for mostly hway driving over 5 days. I
also liked the trouble free operation, no rattles, comfortable seats, and
decent acceleration. True, I fell in love with my 300TDs on return... but
Well, once again it depends upon your peculiarities. I think my old 300D is
Awesome but many would not appreciate
it at all.

I can see you appreciating your rental Corolla for what it was, but even
taking into account the context in which you experienced the car, did you
come away from it feeling Corollas are AWESOME ?

It didn't have the tin-can-on-wheels feel of a Toyota or Honda?

Mitch,
I didn't even ask. There were plenty of other indicators that this car
had recently been poorly repaired and maintained like wrong color
coolant, wrong size battery, generic-type upper radiator hose,

to keep the air moving around inside.
The hairdrier should work well. Warm air moving around
takes moisture with it.

Wednesday past I had some time in the garage, so I pulled the injection
pump from my "new" '95 E300 Diesel. Book says this is required in order
to remove the injection timer, but I'm not convinced now that I've got
it out. Looks like it would be fiddly to install a new injection time
