Have a good glass shop do it, you need a tool to cut the adhesive off
-- the windshield is glued in. You will also have to align and mark it
with masking tape to get it in correctly.
It's worth the cost. Make SURE they mask off the wiper motor though --

Yeah and it doubles as a snowplow in the winter.

Duh, yeah, frustrating as it is that MB markets to the luxury crowd,

Twasn't always thus. Back in the 60s, MB cars appealed to the engineer

I don't think you understand the basic assumption upon which his question is
based. The unspoken assumption is that the initial effort to move the motor
from where it has been sitting to any new position will break some kind of

I had an S15 Jimmy 4x4 with a 2.8l v6 that was pretty gutless but got decent
economy. I think it was rated for 93hp, it would do around 25mpg pretty
reliably and was an excellent woods truck.

So the question: could I take a conventional light fixture and run 12v
through it as long as I'm using a 12v bulb?
Absolutely. I'd be in favor of finding one of those 'tensor' style

that already use 12V incandescent bulbs. I bought a couple of those for
our camper and removed the 12V

I've always figured you can't go far wrong adding 1/2pt (8oz) at a time,
waiting for the level to stabilize, and checking it again. Dump in a qt
at a time and you might be looking for a siphon when it ends up a few inches
overfilled.
Bob,
Did you check oil level? IIRC, you have no tach, but you may have
been hitting the top revs. Was there oil on the rear of the car?
I ran my 300SD at high revs and lost a lot of oil. Gauge went to 1
bar at 60 mpg. Poured 4 quarts of oil back in and on the road
again. Back
