Replaced Torsion in bar in the 1983 240D. It wasn't too bad. Hardest part
was getting the nuts off the back of the Brake Master Cylinder. After that
everything went fairly quickly. I also replaced driver side lower control
bushing, that was a real bear.

The fault was correctly diagnosed by all as a faulty fuel pump relay and duly

I knew that there were gear-reduction starters made that could be fitted
onto cars like I used to play with (big V8 muscle). I always wanted to get
one and install it.
