With jobs, I like to say it isnt so much what they pay you as it is what
you have to do to get the money.
Similarly with health insurance, the cost is only half of what you should
consider. The other half is what kind of doctor you get if you get sick.
With PPO, you decide where you go. With HMO,

After you start the car try wiggling the ignition switch a little or turn is
just a small fraction of an inch back toward off and see if it kicks in. I have

Other that that, the pbu is only part of the system. You also

Donald,
Some suggestions:
1.) Stop. Take a few steps back and stop trying to solve the car’s (perceived)
issues collectively. Taking a shotgun approach to a car that is new and unknown
to you is rarely productive.
2.) Try to make a list of the issues. Pick one and resolve it, then move to the

You can't drive it too hard, or rather if you do what broke was about to fail
anyway. A 240D has to be driven 100% almost all of the time, a 300D turbo is
babied by comparison.
I suspect your accelerator pedal isn't making the rack travel all the way. I

Good point. If it’s an 82 it probably doesn’t have the relocated and larger
strip fuse for the blower motor. The original fuse may have melted down.
