Just about the only part Febi makes that I would recommend is the flex disc. As you correctly state, it's a rebadged SKF disc which is an OE supplier.

I believe I have a MW pump on my UK spec NA 300D. I see no shut off push lever as is commonly seen on US spec cars. How would one shut off the engine in the event of a run away?

Came factory equipped on some 240d/ 300d cars with the 3.67 differential to keep it cooler at highway speeds I believe. I'm sure you'll find one at a junkyard somewhere - they do clean up good!

Agree with the above. Call Classic Center for the part that lasts longest (Ask for the 20% MB Club discount).

Nothing sold on the aftermarket comes close.

The reason I suspect the evaporator is fine is simply this: Before the H4 compressor died, 3 years ago, the grill temperature was freezing cold. I think it measured 15.5 degrees C. It was running on...

Definitely an OEM condenser. Would it make sense to ditch R134 and go back to R24 gas?

It's more expensive but is still available and I believe the Sanden compressor will take it.
