All well made points, for which I thank you.
Just a few further thoughts, stimulated by yours.
1. If you are not popular, you won't get RE-elected.
[My position is, being re-elected should NEVER be a consideration, and the
individual should serve his country then return to regular business.]
If you want one of those there is one for sale at a marginal lot down
the road towards Ravenel, silver with chrome dubs and some kind of black
checkerboard appliques all over it. You could probably get it for
cheepcheep, given the, uh, neighborhood demographics.

I'm not a fan of any Japanese or Korean cars but Toyota takes the cake. After
their recent safety issues and subsequent attempted denial and cover-up of
these issues I'm really turned off. The whole Lexus copycating MB and BMW
styling and then surpassing MB in sales really angers me. Honda
Points well taken, but if I understand correctly (and if I don't I am sure
someone will take me to task) hasn't Hyundai done rather well in the owner
satisfaction category?

You've got multiple cars so this one can be down for a little while right? I'd
probably go ahead and have the injectors redone (cleaned and adjusted). Call
around there must be somewhere in the metropolis that can do it.
That way at least your injectors are a known quantity.

I would simply change the antifreeze to MB GENUINE antifreeze, and the
thermostat. Flush with clean water if you must. See if that helps,
and if not, change the fan clutch, which causes overheating at highway
speeds when it's worn.

Thieves have figured out a way to steal BMWs with keyless entry technology.
They are able to bypass alarm systems. It is believed that the thieves are
gaining access to the cars' On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system to program new key
fobs. The vehicles' OBD ports are constantly

Reminds me of high school chemistry class when my teacher purposely paired me

Thank goodness we were near a sink when he did it.

FWIW, my 1970 220 (gas, manual W115) does indeed have a visco-fan clutch. Can't
see why the gasser would have it vs diesel not. My 220 gas was the

no AC.

IIRC, the new radiators from Rusty were less than $300

I've had a few MB's with green coolant that did NOT overheat. One mechanic

While I certainly do think its a bad idea to mix coolants, and MB coolant
is certainly preferable, I do NOT think green coolant is as bad as
