Well . . . yes I probably am a monkey or at least a monkey's uncle. But I did replace all those parts myself. My biggest mistake was the order in which I replaced them. If I'd done the injectors first I probably wouldn't have had to do the rest. I just consoled myself that since I bought the car without a scrap of records, at least I now have some. And, no I don't know what I'm doing, and without the support of this forum I would have given up on MB ownership a long time ago. You are right, though, with proper maintanence they are not unreliable. They only seem that way when they've been abused and/or neglected.
