Horn issue sounds like a ground problem.
Glow plug issue may be the diagnostics in the relay telling you that the system
has a problem (usually one or two burned out glow plugs, but maybe related to
the horn issue).

There are only a few ground clusters, it's well worth the time to
disassemble, clean, and reassemble them. Many weird things can
be cured that way. Also check and possibly clean contacts in
the fuse box; check/clean/replace fuses. The horn doesn't
have a relay, it's a circuit that's as simple

Yes I agree. I tend to think the 140 is under appreciated as well.

I can't stand a 140, looks like an overweight 124, only worse. The 220 looks
like it has heft, but doesn't look fat. Amazon warrior vs. Opera Fat Lady.

I am not posting this expecting any sort of response, none really needed
or wanted. I just wanted to share this interview of my friend Bill
after the shootings here last week. Sometimes he's a little over the
top but generally speaks the truth as he sees it, which is sometimes not

I have not kept track of things closely enough so I might be wrong on
this but it appears to me that MB is now copying asian designs.
A few years back it was the other way around. A friend has a nice 2000
Lexus sedan that on first glance makes me think Mercedes.
Now, when I see a new Mercedes,
If there was one thing about my W220 that’s a negative (in my mind) it’s the
styling. It’s a wonderful car and has all sorts of very nice goodies, very
good to drive, etc., but in a parking lot it looks like every other car. I
think the real distinctive MB design ended with the W140 as a far
Aerodynamics and fuel economy standards drive a lot of the design and
shape and openings and such. It seems there is not a lot of latitude
for designers when every maker is trying to get low drag. And the Asians
are fairly adept at copying stuff so that their next iterations look a
lot like
At first glance I thought you said crack whore, but maybe that applies also

To me a 140 looks like an overweight 124. Always has.
Oh now I see a nasty little smirch of rust. The rear shelf is also faded.
I bet it smells oogy.

You should check the outer bearings on the spring (bottom) link at the
wheel carrier -- they go bad when the boots fail, causing the rear end
to wander and knocking noises.
