I have been driving the 240D some more and I can't figure out what all the fuss was about it being so slow. The more I drive this car the more I like it and I believe it is going to get better fuel milage than the 300D. It drives better than some new Ford cars I have driven once you get up to speed. I found the problem with the engine temp sending unit causing the temp needle to "fluctuate". Once the engine gets up to temp the sensor becomes loose. Still havn't resolved the cc issue and I will be changing the brake lines over the next few weeks.
