Quote from local dealer on pressure reservoirs for 164.00 + tx.

Euro Parts Direct price--153.71, no tx or shipping chgs. Have one coming.

Fixed the no-go heater fan. Would not start w/o a shove. Sprayed in some electric contact cleaner & blew it around thru the cooling hole for awhile. Still wouldn't self-start until I rapped it a lot at the shaft ends to loosen things and let it run for awhile. Rapped some more and she took off full blast. Let her run for a half hour and she self-starts. Put her in and now I'm warm. Really blows. Not your MB-recommended technology, perhaps, but effective. We'll see how time treats it. Another trick for the book. My guess is that corrosion or garbage of some sort got on the segmentated armature and the brushes couldn't make contact until "encouraged". Maybe the spring pressure of the brushes was compromised by the same crud. ( Maybe this thing was in a little FLOOD!!??? ) Underdash wiring and other contacts look OK, though.

Another brick in the wall comes off.
