FLoyd, Struts, strut mounts, and likely the front LCA need to be replaced. If Wilton's parts are in your shed, they may work. In theory you can replace the bishings in the LCAs, but from a practical standpoint, most just buy new LCAs. I have 2 sets of W124 LCAs in need of bushings, but they

Alles: THe electric fan is not running on my 300D. FOrtunately it was not as hot today, only in the 90s. I believe the fan is controlled by one of the switches at the top front of the OM603. Can anyone tell me which switch, and how to connect or ground or power wires to make the fan run

I am headed out to try that. Any idea where the relay is? I hope that shorting those together will make the fan run. If not I will try powering the resistor Black/white. If that does not work, I will hunt for the relay. On Fri, Aug 3, 2012 at 7:21 PM, Peter Frederick

I think I stuck a block of 2x4 maybe like 1 1/2 x 1 3/4 or 2 in there that wedged in and held the flap open. I never tried to take the blasted thing apart. On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 10:06 PM, Scott Ritchey ritche...@nc.rr.com wrote: I'm finally over that #$%@ cold that sidelined me for about a

The R65 is kind of the 300D of BMWs. the R50/5 is the 240D. R65 is no speed demon, but one that you can spend 100 miles. 250 miles, 500 miles or even 1000 miles in a day. I just read a great letter in the BMW (MOA) news. It was about how the old airhards keep working reliably, and the japcrap
