Don't worry about the EGR pipe, most people disconnect the EGR anyway.

10 should be OM61x engines.

You got it. If I come across a good one for a good price and have room for it I'll grab it for a spare.

CD body parts. SLS parts. ABS parts.

Remember MBZ will continue to make parts as needed. The cost, thats a different factor.....

MB should stock all those parts, some of the little interior stuff you can't get from them anymore.

Yeah tell me about it. Most W126/123's I see this days have one foot in the junk yard already. Totaly rusted or just beat.

Its zebrano last I checked brother.. That stuff is easy to come by as long as the aluminum backing plate is still in good condition.

I need to get a new glove box door it self as mine is broken and hangs weird

Also Carrameow, Mercedes Benz will re manufacture any part that you need for a price of course. The DVD I have on the history of MBZ shows and talks about how they offer that service at the classics center in germany. They restored from ground up a 300SL gullwing that won the 24 hour lemans or something. IT was destroyed in the fire. They had to make a completly new tube frame from scratch. They used their extensives records library, the largest of any automobile manufactures(they have the OG dragins for the 3 wheeler). Its amazing what they can do.. I can go on and on about this

Sure they will, for a PRICE. Get it cheap now for a few bucks from a U PULL IT, can you imagine getting a $8000 bill from Daimler Benz for a new IP pump?
