Bought that 240d!!

[ajb]

Hi folks, I can finally partake in fixing a Mb just like the rest of you as I bought the 240d with a 4 speed that I was planning to look at. It was in good shape as the owner described - (even the spare was org. -never actually used) but has a few small bugs to work out. I was actually surprised by the acceleration - my wife who was following in our Previa actually told me to slow down in the city!!

I do however have a few questions related to the mentions "bugs".

1. All of the dash & heater lights don't illuminate with the headlights on. The only light that is on is the ac light. I can't find the rheostat & I think it is weird all of the above lights don't work. I've checked the fuse. (it was a bit tricky to drive how at night without the dashboard lights)

2. Rear defroster switch lights up, but doesn't seem to defrost window.

3. The owners manual suggests I use engine oil in the std. trans. Is this what I should use?
