There's no possible access for 83 W 123 cars when you access the site.

If the system isn't 100% ready, don't put it up.
I've gone through and clarified 1981 through 1983, and we're looking for more areas where it might be confusing.

I just looked at '80, '81, '82, and '83... only the '81 had the image you are showing with the name "E class & Diesel". I have an '83 300D and can figure out to do the "E class" link but can you do all the images?

It seems the original DIY articles are there, which is good. But I do not care for the visual redesign. I usually shop around for parts so lets just see how the prices are here.

I wish! Certainly not millions per day. I now suspect we have the most comprehensive and complete W123 catalog on the Internet today. Time will tell, but I think you guys will see that we're serious about supporting the market and your cars. I understand that no one likes change, but I think you'll see (once we fix some of the slight cosmetic bugs) that we're seriously committed and in for the long haul.

Who thinks of a '72 220D as an E-class?

How come the pelican searching the boot of a 911 can't find "glow plug" for an '87 300D yet the parts are listed in the catalog? Search is slower than previously and I can't think of a search term it can find. Maybe it's not hooked up to the catalog yet?

What I miss immediately is confirmation that an '87 300D is a 124.133 and the engine is a 603.960.

I found the glow plugs from the parts list. I can't get the search function to find glow plugs.

Try - http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/ksearch/pel_search.cgi?command=DWsearch&description=glow+plug&I1.x=0&I1.y=0 after selecting an '87 300D or enter "glow plug" in the search field.

They are working on the search engine.
There are a multitude of other search related issues being resolved ASAP.
