I think my w124 300TDt has a little bit of Christine in him...

My wagon, Klause, has been suprising me by self-healing lately. First it was the trouble I had with getting him to start after I replaced the head - for weeks it wouldn't run. After leaving it alone for a month, I tried it again and he started right up (with really no effort on my part).

Then this morning - I noticed the low coolant lamp went out. It had been on since I got the car running a month ago - had determined the sensor was probably bad (lamp went out when I unplugged it - coolant is not low, it's full). The lamp is good because it cycles thru when I start the car.

I'm hoping to start seeing the rust go away and the odometer rolling backwards, etc, etc. Just hope I don't strangle to death in the drivers seat.

Christine wouldn't attack, YOU, she'd attempt to kill everyone ELSE in your life that take you away from her... now, Klauss may have a different method... beware.

It would be cool to take a draw on my pipe, stand back and tell Klause to "show me..." - and watch as my power antenna suddenly starts working, all the windows quickly roll up and down, the paint glosses over and the A/C blows cold. There would probably be an issue with folks trying to buy him (away from me) - then that would be a problem.
