Ripped off
Some of you might have seen a post of mine on another forum where I related that my top got slashed on my 83 280SL and I was grateful the low lifes didn't steal anything. Turns out I am wrong - they stole the stupid Euro first aid kit, as I discovered today at the car wash. $1500 worth of damage for a freaking first-aid kit. Life sucks sometime. Does anyone have a good source for the correct first aid kit? Used would be fine.

They sliced it twice, once over each door. Top is ruined, I patched them for now with some sail canvas - the patch didn't come out half bad but I will have to do a new top in the spring. Other than that and the first aid kit not a whole lot of damage. Thank God they did not go after my cherry interior with the knife. Such is life in Houston. Its my own damn fault - I was taking a night course at Central College which is smack dab in the middle of the worst part of Houston, and they nailed me in the parking lot there while I was in class, probably looking for a stereo. Guess they don't like old blaupunkt cassettes. I don't know what they thought the FA kit was - my dope stash? CDs? Be the last time I drive it there.

re: top
kirk
sorry to hear about that. thats a nighmare for a rag top owner. ive owned several conv's and always make sure that i leave the doors unlocked at all time except when driving. Never ever had any problems. as for the first aid kit thats more of a nastalgia item but it was a surprise to me to find it im my truck one day after i have owned the car for a year or so. this past weekend i drove to mid california where temp was about 100. first time ever that the heat meter went a bit over the 100 line when i was going up a steep hill. steve c.

Since I live in a hot climate, I have a lot of experince with radiator problems. One like you describe can be caused in older cars by silt buidling up in the bottom of the radiator over the years, cutting the amount of coolant it holds. A good flush helps, also you can hot tank the radiator if that is possible with MBs radiators, or just replace it.

yes, it is mounted on the passenger side of the package tray. They actually reached in and grabbed it as they were not able to unlock the doors. They probably thought it was a CD case or something.
I think my 77 280E was the same way, the FA kit was in a flip-top arrangement on the package tray in the cabin.
