[MBZ] 1983 Glow Relay (no glow)

Hello 1983 300D. Glow Plug light was going off very quickly after ignition was turned on and hard starting on cool mornings - pulled glow plugs found 2 dead - replaced all 5. After replacement the light will not light at all and it is not glowing (which happened rarely before replacement). Ther

Re: [MBZ] '87 300D exhaust blockage (was: 603 filter change, cranking forever)

I bought a Toyota Celica on flebay once with a totally clogged cat. I just disconnected it at the manifold - strapped it up and drove it around the block to confirm that it was the cat that was the issue. It was, the neighbors were annoyed - but I "cleaned out" the cat and it ran great. Peter O

I sure hope not. In my years of mechanical experience every GM with the Dex-Cool that had never been changed had a leaking heater core. Big bucks and a pain to fix. Peter On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 11:38 AM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: > On Fri, Aug 19, 2011 at 6:28 AM, Allan Streib > wrote: > > The

Re: [MBZ] GUMP is DEAD

I have literally logged thousands of driving hours in one of these and they are no more unstable then most other trucks or vans, but I think if you look at most of the accidents most were tied to mechanical or tire failure.

This is making me laugh - - Just this weekend I noticed my Miata was running pretty crappy rough starts and such. Classic bad spark plugs. I thought Geez - I just did the spark plugs - right when I bought this car. That was 5 years ago. I have never kept a car for 5 years. New plugs Saturday m
