I'm going to buy a used HP Z420 workstation and need help determining which
parameters will actually be significant for a faster PC. I will be mostly
doing photo editing in Lightroom, with some Solidworks drawing and video
editing.
So, the options are:

Right, there are so many w123 Mercedes still on the road so discontinuing
critical mechanical parts is just plain stupid. People who drive W123s are
usually not in the market for a new Mercedes so it’s not like Mercedes is
sacrificing new car sales by keeping the w123s on the road.

Yes you are right but I always expected more from Mercedes. Now they just seem
to behave like every other cheap car dealership.

I wonder what would happen were you to go to any other dealership and ask
for a radiator for a 35+ year old vehicle, even a 20 year old one?

I was going to say, why be that way when Behr still makes them?
But I see that Hella/Behr is selling aluminum and plastic, just like Nissens.
So maybe MBZ dropped them because they can't source an exact match any more.

Rock Auto sells them
To follow-up, the classic center says that Mercedes no longer makes radiators
for this car and that I should go to the aftermarket.
The dealership told me that I should take the car to a local Indy shop to have
it fixed since they can’t source the part. I wouldn’t take it to the dealership
That's what I would do if I had an old brass and copper radiator.
Not worth thinking about with an aluminum and plastic radiator (like the one I
replaced in my ML350)
30 years ago I'd know where to go.
I wonder if they're still in business?
Oh, wow, not only is the place still open and still

Interesting. Seems unlikely that the pads are in wrong, but never say
never. I changed all the calipers, so this isnt just a brake job.
I found this european cert thing in an email from autohaus (finally got the
500e master cyl today btw). Anyway it may interest the list:

Hi folks,
Hope you are all doing well!
My eldest has fixed the freeze plug using a pair of cold chisels and a
bit of steel pipe on the 300SDL's 603, so now we need to button up the
engine. However:
1) the intake manifold has been off for a long time (5 years?) and
probably had water, dirt, bugs
At $15 I think you should take the chance.
When these first came out, they were a lot more expensive.
I see the reviews indicate people are using them on 100 foot 12/3 cables.
I don't know how well that would work but they should not have a problem
with lighter cords like one might use to run a
I see Behr and OEM, but I don't see OE on eBay.

The Northern Tools one is only $15 and is hand cranked, so not comparable.
My fear is that it might break quickly.

I did a quick search on ebay. Looks like they are still plentiful for and
cost around $200.

Out of curiosity, I called my local dealership to see if they can comment on
whether a radiator is available for a manual tranny car and they just flat out
told me that Mercedes does not make a radiator for my car anymore. I highly
doubt that’s the case and so I will call the Classic Center
