Re: [MBZ] 190D

Too bad its any auto, thats an NA 2.5l. Turbo in the 190D was '87 only. As usual the seller is dreaming about 40mpg, my '85 2.2l 190D 5spd could just barely beat 40mpg if I drove slow, averaged around 38. With an auto the 2.2l dropped to 36 average, 38 best tank. Oh, BTW I had to go into work

[MBZ] OT getting old

As I’m out working on cars today I’m removing the radiator from the e300. These days when I’m bent over working on something like pulling this radiator out, I get lower back pain/soreness. I usually have to stop and sit down for a few minutes. I wonder if I got one of those back brace things

Don’t know about that, but when I anticipate a major physical undertaking like this I usually pre-medicate with some naproxen sodium (generic Aleve) and I’m fine for the day. Definitely cuts down on that next day soreness. Whenever I decide to do the AC compressor on the 420E I’ll do this, as
