I will ask the man next time.

I picked up the car last week and it is a whole new car. No clunks or noises when you engage gears or let off/accelerate.

However due to some strange issue with the wheels one steering component has been slightly knocked bad by the rim/wheel rotation. The wheels are 7x15 with ET35, but that I guess was 3-4mm too much so I am sourcing new wheels to fit onto the car. And one arm component had slack on the same side. Beside that only the parking brake needed to be fixed on one side. Once that is done, all is good and it is approved for another two years on the roads.

I am negotiating a deal on a 6-cylinder W123 sedan which is near mint and has just around 100k miles on the clock. It will probably replace my W124 ambulance as it needs quite a bit of expensive work. Might sell the ambulance, but havent decided just yet.

The 240TD really amazed me with gas milage (or diesel milage I guess). We dont have super smooth freeways here, but I did a long journey of about 350 miles a few days ago and it averaged around 32MPG (US). I found that quite impressive.
