So I had a vacuum leak under a hood a few weeks go which I found and
fixed and it got the air blowing out of the center vents 100% instead of
some air leaking out defrost. Last week I noticed it was leaking out
the defrost again. I thought I probably had another leak. I checked
everything
I think I pulled some from the 420SEL I knackered. Finding them might be the
challenge but let me know and I can dig around

More food for thought
I am probably spending way too much time looking at numbers and so forth. It
appears this cheap assed Harvest King CJ-4 oil has better specs, on paper, than
the new CK-4 Delvac 1300 and Delo 400 SDE. It appears to have higher ZDDP
levels but the TBN is slightly lower.
Sounds like an okie car to me

Good to hear from you again! As others have mentioned, nothing else
will give your 123 the original handling. Buy Bilstein "comfort"
shocks. These are the OE replacement.

Depends on how much time you can mess with it, I think the least expensive
route is taking your old hose to a hydraulic shop to get new hose installed
on your old fittings.

The last couple months I've spent my weekends building new metal ductwork
to go under my house. Yesterday I dragged it under the house in two major

The old ductwork job was terrible, the take-off collars were very poorly
attached
try 60s chrypsler bolt pattern. I think the caravan up to 2000 had the
same pattern.

Not just the electronic toy versions of MB that a battery can screw
up! I spent a lot of time and $$$ on the R107 diagnosing a fuel
problem. After I replaced fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel pump relay,
and it still did not run right, the battery failed. The new battery
cured all ills.
You mean that isn't correct?

Since they will give low compression if not kept adjusted.

Just for grins I noticed they had Wally World supertec test results,
their numbers are about on par with the Rotella. Its not as cheap as
that Harvest King, but the numbers look better on paper and it says its

I got a HF headlight polishing kit for this E300D and just finished with them.
Look a lot better but inside seems kinda goobered up too. But I guess getting
them cleaned up will pass more light at night.
