I had the exact same experience and about the time he begrudgedly took back the, "NEW OEM" part that was "made in Taiwan" used and non functional, I found this forum. $2000.00 worth of parts later, I'm still happy with Fast Lane.

He's not helping you, he's gouging you.
He's in business to make a profit like everybody else. He developed these DIY kits and he sells them to folks who need information. If you can obtain the information elsewhere for free...........have at it.

I bought one of his seat rebuilding manuals and I found it to be very comprehensive and it assisted me greatly in doing the seat for the first time. The $10. was well worth the price.

If you want to talk about gouging...........let's talk Microsoft. I have an issue with Outlook 2007 where the words won't wrap. Microsoft software...........but, if I want a resolution, it's going to cost me $50.00.

good point.

Lay off the guy. He's trying to make a living off what he loves doing. If we had the wherewithal, I am sure we'd love to be doing the same thing.

It is nice to know that MB diesels have found their way to other galaxies. I wonder if diesel fuel is cheaper there.

They run on used dark matter (filtered, of course) and get 32 parsecs per milliliter.
