no problems since.
as a matter of fact, I think there is a service bullitin replacing the fuse for the blower with a 30!!! amp fuse block! from MB!
Mercedes did a mid-year mod on the early 124 cars (the '87 300D) and perhaps on others, as you mention. It involved adding a special 1-fuse holder outside of the fuse compartment and wiring the blower fuse wires to it instead of the regular spot in the fuse box. The special holder takes a 30 amp "strip fuse" (like the glow plug relay uses). A thread on this is here.
