Shadetree mechanic's dream!  "The sway bar links on the rear wheels have
broken, meaning sometimes when you hit bumps you hear it rattle. It is not
something that can get worse over time.
The windshield has a medium size crack from a rock hitting it."

Everything about this ad is wrong and can never be right.  Only this

It has pedal shifters on the steering wheel and a nice sunroof.

2021-12-08 Thread Ronald Courcy via Mercedes
A caliper to fit the right rear 300td appears to not be that rare an item. If 
you look at the link to the oem brake caliper at the bottom of the listing is a 
list of all the vehicles it will fit. Which includes 84 and 85 300d,sd and cd, 
as well as 86 and 87 300sdl.

Interesting.?? Shows that any mammal can be subjugated if offered free

I joined Kathy Kenels's MBCA list in the mid 90s, but it had little
content about W110s, and little expertise.? I Joined Alex Gabbard's
veteran's list in 95 or 96.?? Great people there. Tried the ritter
easley(hitler) list about the same time.?? Nothing there but 124/126
stuff, so I quit.?? When Alex gave up being listmom, I was about to
offer to, when Dickarde offered, and he already had equip and running
lists.? From dickarde's MBZ.org I was on Diesel and Veterans lists.??
The veterans morphed into 108 list, and was of no use to me. By then I
had the 81 240D since about 1994 or 5.??? The dickarde DIesel list and
the others all melted down when Dickarde's server melted down.??
Dickarde was too busy tok'in' weed to be bothered to get a server up and
running so the lists died for a couple months.? Kaleb scavenged the
dickarde list emails he had and invited us onto his new Mercedes list.??
Was there until I was booted for speaking truth. Okietalk is a great
place to be!

My 200D turned 56 in August.? I've had it 49 years.
Lost count of all the running and junker MBs I've owned.
I think I was up to 16 or so by 1979.

All Diesels other than the 2 380SLs #1 daughter insisted on, and the
E320 (124) I got from Kleb for her to drive in the winter.? Then there
was the 230TE and the 300TE.. and a junker 190c.?? So I guess I have had
6 vergassers.?? Happy when each one went down the road. (Except the
190c, it was only intended to be parts for 190Dc s and 200D.? I WAS
happy when I got the M120 engine from it sold!)
