Arthur,
Thanks. I assure you I didn't take offense to what you wrote and I thank you for the posting. As you could tell, I didn't have more than a slight clue what the original poster was up against . . . all I could envision was someone at the office wanting to go home not having a clue how to jump-start their Mercedes. When I read "with a locked trunk" I couldn't help wondering what, if other than getting at his jumper cables, that had to do with anything . . .
Been spending the early part of this weekend improvising some interior repairs. JB Weld, broken parts and some creative moments certainly makes the day move along . . .
Both Mercedes' driveshaft projects this coming weekend. The '84 out for a shop balance and the '87 should be more of an R&R.
