Bingo

That's it! If the car has a nice, sound body and a decent engine, your golden. Worst case scenario is you find out the suspension is shot. Still, suspension rebuilds are better than body or engine...

For what it's worth...

My 240D manual gets a pretty decent 24-27 MPG usually. I generally do a full engine tune-up (valves, purge, etc) twice a year; once before the cold weather sets in (where I also switch to 10w-40) and...

Around here, we have "speedometer check areas" on the freeways, usually in the 70+ MPH stretches. Each marker is EXACTLY one mile apart, to the inch. I like to go by these at various speeds: 70, 60,...

I'd think about replacing or rebuilding the injectors here soon. These are generally a 100k mile maintenance item. Also, I agree, check the driveline and differential; these are probably some of the...

So correct me if I'm wrong...alternator needs more power = more tension on the V-belt = engine has to work harder to turn belt...? Same logic behind the A/C compressor deal?

Well that explains why I didn't see anything. It is infact mechanical.

But how does the alternator "load" the engine? Like I said, I thought the electrical system and the engine mechanical systems...

Why not?

I think I heard about this...I work near Seattle (Bothell, actually) so I'd be game. Is this the one where they're turning used markers into bio-fuel?

WTB: Radio for W123, preferably Becker

Hey guys. I'm looking for a period radio for the '79 240D. Has to function normally. I'm mainly looking for either a Grand Prix or a Mexico Cassette, but really any will do. :)

Even without snow tires, they're still tanks. We had quite a bit of snow a few weeks ago here in Washington. My '79 4-speed plowed through everything without snow tires or chains. :D

Would this work on one of these bolts? I find it kind of hard to believe, unless it chews/grips on the outer portion of it.

Which is the compression nut...? From what I see, each section has 3 nuts; one large one where the fuel comes out and two smaller ones flanking it.
