The later electronic clocks, such as the ones in the W123 and later, are all

Methane digester/recovery is old tech, as Curley just suggested.
It has some inherent negatives, however:
Low BTU content

did methane
Bid on this, it’s a much better deal:

A couple of options, but they’re only relevant if the car was serviced at an MB

1.) Contact your dealer and ask for a VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry); or,

I need a W210 shifter if you part it out. They’re always gone at the P here

I wear a pith helmet when I go outside around here, and have worn hats of one

I have a really nice Akubra hat I got when I was In Australia but I rarely wear
