Thanks again to Jon. I made it home without incident. Damn forgot the blue locktite at autozone before i left. But i'm going to pull it again soon and put it on on. I really wish i had the 602 in this car. Anyone have a 602 they want to swap for a 603 let me know Seriously, we can do it in my garage . I have a lift.

Where was I when all this was happening????? I live 9 miles south of Tarpon Springs, and could have at least retrieved you and your family, and even have a couple of good diesel mechanics in the area that would have helped out. Great you had someone to provide the parts, as I gave my spare parts to Peter in a trade some time ago, but would have provided transportation to the junkyards, or jon's to get radiator, fan, etc.

Glad you made it home OK.

I am just catching up with this, but ... what a great story! Kudos to Jon, and congrats to biopete for making it home. The hassle is unfortunate, but... there but for the Grace of God, etc., etc.... What a great resource this forum is!

And, by the way, I am a big believer in 'Paying It Forward"! Nice job folks!

Happy New Year to All!

Jon changed me. Thanks everyone for the replies. I love this forum. I've offered to sell parts on here but not give them away unless someone really needed it. That was such a generous gesture. Good timing for me too. Cause I'm broke building a garage. I'm ready to help anyone broke down it TN now

I'm a convert on the pay it forward concept. Anyway, next spring when i visit my father in law again, i'll holler and maybe we can plan a gtg in the area. Does anyone have a W210 or W211 ? I want to test drive one of those I can bring some parts down from my W124 parts wagon if anyone needs them.

I tried to get my father in law to buy his 18 yr old daughter a mb diesel or bettle tdi. But he went with a scion instead. Newer is better if you don't like messing with cars . But i think that a he could have gotten a pretty new mb diesel for the same price. Cheers and looking forward to my next trip to Holiday.

I like the idea of the GTG on this side of the sandbar!!!! Let us know when you're coming in and you can count me IN!!!

I had the parts lying around...the fan clutch I gave him was flaky before for me, despite it being only a few years old. It was however, much better than the three-piece version he would up with after the incident!

If you decided to get a plastic fan, I will try to get the metal one back from you just in case :-)

The way I see it, the only thing that matters in life is "relationship", on EVERY level. We had a good dinner and discussed all sorts of things both MB and non. I am glad I was available and had the parts on hand!
