I am getting a 96 E300 ready to sell. It will be a cheap reliable car
for somebody. Just finished replacing the flex discs and center
support. Also has a new windshield, new glow plugs. If anyone has any
interest let me know otherwise it will be going on fakebook/craigslist
pretty soon.

leakage, as that’s where you’ll see it if there’s blowby, then drive it off and
