This is exactly why most of the pros have gotten pissed and left this site. Most of the newer posters here seem to have an obsession with keeping the year and model of their car a closely guarded secret. They also don't want you to know where they are located on the planet. Your first post said you have a 280SE which means you have a 108.01 series. I have tried to provide help based on that info. Now you by the way spring the info on me that you have a 280SEC which is a whole other animal. I've wasted my time which could have been better spent. I'm getting burnt out, and will no longer answer any posts that don't provide full info about the car and where you live. Actually I may screw with you for my amusement and send you down a wild goose chase. If you think I'm an A hole, look around and see how many pros are left. I receive many private emails thanking me for my time. I know who they are, and I am always open to their questions. I spend time here, because I enjoy helping people, and I do learn from them. I am getting rather tired of the ME generation that doesn't have the time to say thanks for the help. Their only concern seems to be "see me in my MERCEDES". Remember when you reach the end of life, the best things in life are not things.
