When you part it out, sell the tranny, shifter, pedal assembly, drive shaft etc as a package deal, will bring BIG money. kevin kraly wrote: Tomorrow, I'm going to look at a manny tranny 1983 240D that's been run out of oil. I'm interested in the tires/wheels and the headlight doors, but

Wish I'd seen this post earlier. Yup I need a part or two for my 83 240D. Right off the bat I can think of the ashtray (if it has the lighter in it). Brian On 5/18/06, kevin kraly [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Tomorrow, I'm going to look at a manny tranny 1983 240D that's been run out of oil.

Well, probably - as you surely have more knowledge than I at this. I was just thinking of the ashtray - the deal that can be pulled out by depressing that metal tab and just removing the ashtray - as if you wanted to empty it. This, I thought, contains the area where the lighter used to mount

Can you expand on what you mean by mounting frame? It has a sliding wiper track on the side for the ashtray proper to contact, and has two screws that hold it in. It plugs in to the car's wiring harness. I thought I remembered that you'd said it was also missing, but it sounds like that's not

Jim, it appears to be a tab that is mounted to the console. It appears to be copper. I'll have to go downstairs and look more closely at the side of the ash tray and see if there's a metal track on it for the tab to slide along. I believe it does make contact when the ashtray is pulled open past

this point is plastic. There must be a metal piece that comes up over or under the plastic side of the ashtray to meet that tab - and it must come with the lighter base. Sounds like somebody butchered your ashtray. It's not supposed to come apart, though it does (to a point) in order that
