Free 84 SD. And a window question.
First the windows. On the w123 does anyone make a window switch replacement that allows auto "one push" roll down on the windows?
Second, the free 84 300SD with 160k miles It's a 2 tone blue/light blue with tan interior. Everything in and out is near perfect except for a small paint problem on the rear right quarter panel where the driver backed into something. The car has been sitting since 1999 in a climate controlled garage and every service has been done. The catch?
He says he was driving up a hill and it lost all power. He thinks it's a timing "belt," he said belt and meant chain, that went wrong. Even if it did a nice SD at the cost of an engine is a fair deal.
Hopefully its not the chain but we will see. I've heard that when the chains go the head/valves are usually fine its the cam and tower that needs replacing. Can anyone verify the legitimacy of that claim?
I have to go to Houston to get. Most likely the first weekend of June. If I don't want it I can put in a good word for someone on the forum. Of course I will have pictures by then. He owner didn't recall if it was an SD or SDL.
