Thanks for your strong support-it's really appreciated. I have certainly worked hard for this vehicle and purposefully sought out the best Starmark (travelled to S.Cal from SF to test 7 '94-'95 E320 coupes)and paid a premium for this one expecting the best. I'll approach this problem doing what I can do first and then raise the balance of the possible causes with our "higher source". I'll post resolution so we'll all expand the knowledge database.
