Anyone interested in a 1974 240D, I think has around 70-90K. Body in good
shape. Located in Philly area. I test drove it. Some minor things but with
a little tlc could be a very good daily driver. Real nice condition for a
115.
If you are interested email me direct and I will hook you up.
Hi team

Here's the Mobil 1 oil and drain interval recommendation I received from

Unfortunately, we do not have the Mobil 1 Truck SUV 5W-40 in NZ or

Have you checked the main overload protection relay/fuse on the firewall? I
believe it is a 10 amp and can cause weird issues when it fails. May just
need a new fuse, maybe the whole relay.

I agree with Dave - sounds like a stuck relay, but you can't over look

There is a 1995 E320 wagon at an european car lot not
far from where I work - 80,000 miles, immaculate
condition, asking for $10,500.
How does it compare to the 1987 300TDT wagon -
longevity and maintenance wise? I know the fuel
mileage on the E320 is lower than the diesel wagon.

Wow. That list would certainly keep me away from the newer MB.
And this might be heresy on this list, but you might want to take a look at
a '95-'98 Audi A6 wagon. We've got one with 110K on it, and in my experience

Thanks for the information. Although my commute now is
not as far as it used to be, somehow I still rack up

Does Audi wagons come with manual transmission? That

Uhh, unless I'm missing something, 12.2 isn't really enough. I would only
expect to see that if maybe you're overloading the alternator at idle.
Batteries should be at 13.2v or higher.

I had one of those Liqui-vac suckers. Be careful not
to use it when the oil is too hot. Mine collapsed and

He describes each step and illustrates with digital pictures. I used his

$25.00? It is to me, others with have to make their own choice.
12.2 is not enough, it needs to be over 13.1 at the minimum, should
normally run 13.3 to 13.5 though.
