Thanks to all - please read.
 

Hey - I'd just thought to share my thanks for this forum - it's a fantastic archive of EVERYTHING one needs to keep MB (in my case W123's) on the road.

Thanks to all for:
Vacuum answers
Differential answers
Wheels & tyres
and a whole lot more GENERAL knowledge...

"Use the search..." I agree!! I spend man-YEARS on the john just leafing through the printouts I made...

W123 heaven...

Reason for post? (as a user, not a mech..!) I just managed to identify loads of parts I need (and some I would *like*) to replace - mainly steering rubbers etc and vacuum door actuators which, via this forum's continued energy, has made it possible to think... YES I CAN. and NOT... let's pay the local garage mucho $$ just to diagnose! I have done my diagnosis and now I am ready to fit! I have to say, I impressed myself...

cheers guys.
