There are different Sportline sway bars for the W201 chassis,
including a sort of stage 2 setup from the factory Evo II model
(201.036). However, I recall someone saying that the 124 front bar can

I am almost certain that on the 124, you don't need to worry about
SLS, other than stretching the U-clamp or something. Should definitely
be doable. I never checked the Euro EPC to see if MB sells a larger
clamp for Sportline models with SLS. (Hmmm, might even be some USA
models with that too.)
Sunil,
The front bar is pretty easy... about an hour if you are mechanically
inclined. The rear bar is much more work, took me about 4 hours the
first time I did it, but with practice I can now do it in less than 1
hour. The procedure for the rear bar is on my website. No procedure

Subject: Re: [MBZ] NON voyage! AND leaking coolant @ head gasket
Dave,
Do you know anything about the head gasket on the six banger
Hi Michael,
A quick peek at the EPC shows that there is really only one part
number for springs for your car. It would help if you specified which
chassis... there was a 280SE W108, W111, and W116 (and maybe more).
The free length of the spring as measured when not installed will NOT
be the same
of the revisions was
to provide a better seal at the coolant passage behind cyl #6, where
your leak is. I'd pull the head replace the gasket. Be prepared for
unexpected, unpleasant surprises (read: cracks) if the head is a #14.
:-)

If you do some searching for these nationwide, typical asking price is
between $7-$12k. So, buying one for $5k and spending a bit on repairs
wouldn't be unexpected. If it's clean and runs well, $5k is a really
good deal, IMO.
If anyone finds a 90-93 W124 diesel for sale - with ASD and heated
halves of the ALDA. I used Yamabond, but
something similar would work fine.
:)

Looking at photos of each on Rusty's website, all I see is the 300E
fan has narrower blades, and the 300D/SDL fan has wider blades. I
wonder how that affects airflow, noise, etc, etc...

This is too cool. Reminds me of Kevin Costner's little trick in
'Waterworld'. I wonder how it would work on a 240D?

Cheap, schmeep! You still got 36 hours to get your bid in! Go for it,
Kaleb... too far away for me. Why aren't there any of these in the
Pacific Northwest?

Huh? I wouldn't touch a 124 or 201 without the factory service manual,
or at least the Haynes. Otherwise you could end up breaking things.

, convert to an alternative refrigerant that works with
mineral oil, like AutoFrost. The drawback to these is you can't top
off... not a big deal if your system is leak free.

costs it ends up being close
to $30 per gallon (or $37.50 for 5 quarts, to compare to the Wal-Mart
jugs). And at that price, we can buy Amsoil from Johnny Bee a lot
cheaper!

I do. The Shell stuff is a cheap Group III base stock. It's better
than dino oil, but nowhere near as good as Mobil-1 or Amsoil (which
are Group IV/V base stocks). The Rotella Syn is fine if you change it
at 3-5k like regular dino... I would not attempt extended drains with
it.
