Do you still have the 240D?

I've kept mine for almost two years without an engine. Just couldn't bring myself to gut another Mercedes to fix mine (unless it was wrecked).

To OP, nice pictures. And that dog looks mighty happy.

It was only a day trip!

Pick a day, any day . . . call in "sick of work" day . . . any day will do . . . fill up the tank and just drive!

In a week and a half we are gonna be taking a longer trip 525 mi oneway up to Taos, NM (North of Santa Fe) to deliver 500 New Testament Bibles our church printed for a guy who is starting a church up there! Should be simular looking country . . .

Glad to hear it. No more renting!

In my searches for a 240D engine, I've come across a few possibilities. I've found one myself but am waiting on word if it's serviceable.

If you're still looking for an engine, there's a few in Dallas area.
