If this is not the case, I'd have the car towed back to him.

I had a problem with...

That would be great!! Then I'd probably need to get a 5 speed gearbox instead of 4. I originally bought my 240D because it had a manual tranny. It's tough to find a nice car with a manual, so I'll...

In the shop I dread "luxury" class vehicles because they're usually a pain to work on, but I do like the roominess of the W126. I'll probably put a towing hitch on it and use it as a pickup. That's...

Thanks for your suggestions. I didn't realize that the Avalon was larger than the Camry. I've been looking at cars in the under-$10,000 range. I was also considering the fact that an Mercedes will...

What kind of car should I buy?

I need a reliable and reasonably inexpensive car for my dad to drive. I just got a job as a mechanic, so I can do basic repairs, but I'm not wealthy. I suggested he get a Camry, but he thinks they're...

What is a Diesel Purge? I've never heard of this.

Also, how often should I be changing my fuel filters? I've been doing it every15K to be safe.

You're right. An E350 is not a good vehicle for anything. It's CG is too high, it's wheelbase is too short. Ergonomics are horrible. It's good for breaking down on the freeway :-)

Disagree.
The configuration caused a low frequency resonant mode. The problem is that the center of mass of the Benz was too far from the pivot point of the system. The van and car will yaw/rock...
