Sounds good to me. Before I sold my blue 300CD, I had the intake manifold gasket replaced. The mechanic told me that it's MUCH harder to replace on the models with the Trap.

There was so much that had to come off in order to get the gasket out and replace. You would have thought that the engine was being rebuilt.

Having the CD checked tomorrow by my front end guy. It looks good to me. No oil leaks, LEATHER in good shape, 146K.

The only thing I don't care for are the European headlights. They are Bosch and the lenses are pitted. I might change them back to the USA style if I can't find replacements.

Anyone know were to get new ones? I looked at Bekker and they don't mention them for a W123.

There are pictures on my website.

Thanks,
