Key: you can order just a VIN coded key, which should lock doors and trunk if they have original tumblers, or get a new ignition cylinder which may come with a new key then all will match. First aid kit: buy new, they go stale. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Bob Rentfro

Sounds like a good price, congrats! That temp swing really sounds like a gauge issue, do you have a non-contact thermometer to verify? -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '95 E300 '87 300TD Bob Rentfro azbob...@gmail.com wrote: I shall. So here is the first two issues on the shakedown cruise back

Like Craig said check the ground for the cluster. I had the same problem on SWMBO's 240D when I got it. Do a Citric Acid flush and use the MB recommended Coolant. I have a spare cluster if you need a gauge. Let me know what part of the door handle you need. I also have a manual tranny shifter

Flickering temp is a bad connection. Could be the connection to the sender, could be the sender itself, could be the gauge, could be the instrument cluster ground. I like to blame the harshest environment first, which would be the sender. -- Jim ___
