Nobody cares.

Definitely care and have major interest. I love the 350sd. Have my eye on one that likely needs a hg. Actually a hg seems like a wear/service item for the 601-603 engines…

Sometimes people see value in the threads, but I don’t really care too much about that. Sure, I’m glad to hear it helped someone else, but generally I’m doing most of it for selfish reasons. And when I sell a car, it’s basically all documented.

Hey Fonzi, I see you get around too
Re your post - I do the same thing! It's an easy way of keeping a record.

I am currently replacing the water pump on our W210. The thread on BW is getting close to 100 posts

Sometimes when I do a search about some issue I am having, I find that I posted about same issue 10 or 15 years ago Both here and on BW.
