We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Welcome Peter. Great to have another MB'er from the other side of the globe. You will find so much information here with the search function, and also when you ask a specific question.
We love pics, love to see folks cars, and your's is no exception. We'd love to have a look at that interior and engine bay too. Many times yall's cars are fitted much differently than ours. Take those factory mud flaps for instance, and the controls on the opposite side. Wild to see.
BTW, I'm quite partial to Yellow 1980 240D 4 speeds......





Trailer hitch and all........

Wasn't sure if I'd ever see that shade of yellow on another w123.

go to post#4, click on link. then click on the MB service Manual Library.

Not sure why that link earlier did not work.
