OK - I should be sensible about this. I want the hood, grill and
wheels. My hood fell over during the two years it was off the car -
doesn't look so pretty anymore. My car needs to be re-painted anyway,
so the mis-matched color isn't a problem.
I have those chrome after-market wheels that leak

There is nothing wrong with Mercedes radiators! They commonly last for
20-30 years (many last longer) IF: you use approved coolant, change that
coolant every 3 years, change the motor mounts when they collapse (a
collapsed motor mount puts a LOT of stress on the top radiator neck),

I stand corrected and thank you for your vociferous defense. I have no

if I can have similar experiences, as well as a better running car as a

Before someone starts replacing parts I suggest that you have them do a
pressure test on the fuel injection and make sure that the pressures are all
in spec. BTW, when it doesn't start, is it only with a warm engine or when
it is cold as well?
