I hate to say this but im becoming more and more Discouraged with my beloved benz. After i took it on a 200 miles trip, it just seems so much has gone wrong, and im taking it on another trip this thursday so the issues that im having now are...


-Sticky gauge clusters, all but gas and temp
- when i just started it to go to lunch, it was more shakie than usual which im hopeing is a bad glow plug
-the exaust need ANOTHER pipe
- 250K on what i can tell is the original Timming chain which makes me kinda scared witht the rough idal, so that will need to be replaced...when?? i have no clue when i can find the money or time

so im just kinda worried about taking it on this trip cause last time i broke down cause the exaust fell off and i had to tie it up. just dont want to be stranded


just thought i would share
