I posted earlier about a 81 240D that I picked up. The car itself is in very good condition. I got a steal of a price on it . I ran a carfax and the 139k miles are accurate ... the car had a minor right front fender hit that will be an easy fix. I do need a passenger headlight assembly .. any suggestions appreciated.
I am so used to a gas motor I had a hard time getting over the fact that when you depress the accelorator.. uhh........ there is nothing there until the rpms rev up. It's like driving a gasser with burnt valves.
Wow they are slow... I live at 4500' elevation and wondered what I could do short of a Turbo... the sticker under the hood says 67 Horsepower ... yeah at sea level maybe.
I will check the valves , the oil and filters were changed 800 miles ago. The car was hit in October and sat until monday when I picked it up. The car spent much of it's life in southern California and since 97 it was in Vegas. I found no rust whatsoever on it.
I belong to a local bio-diesel group and will try some WVO fuel when i get a chance. Just thought It would be nice to get some responses from other 240D turtles on the list ..what was your first impression?
What shade legal tint could I put on my drivers side window to avoid eye contact with all the people passing me and gesturing... or how about a bumper sticker... " Turbo broken...watch for finger"
How would a 300D fit in there?... it is a manual trans 4 speed.
