Dude, I am in the rust belt. Pick and pulls have cars that are 8 years old here. Between us, Clacker and I probably own 20 percent of the w123 population within 100 miles LOL. There is no such thing as "finding" a 240d. Old Mercedes last about 72 hours when they do show up, before they look like a skeleton exposed to flesh eating fish.

In any case, I have limited time left to work on this car. And I am about to resurrect another wagon, an '84 that is missing most of its ACC components and has a damaged dash anyway (too lazy to remove the steering wheel to pull the cluster out?... no problem, just tear the dashboard binnacle out and pull it that way!). Any 240d CC gear I can come by needs to get put into that car.

I may have to take Funola's suggestion and install a manual blower control unit. I could probably float that as an 'upgrade' to a potential purchaser with a straight face, as the lack of manual override on the blower has always bugged my behind on all ACC systems... .
