Yeah me too. The unblemished record for us is getting shakier, though.
The 85 wagon left my wife and kids on foot when the master brake cylinder
failed and applied the rear brakes continuously. That was unexpected. The
AC fuse melted through the fuse block when the nanny was running the AC
Interesting. The wrecking yard here has two more in stock so I will
probably just keep swapping until I get a good one. Thanks.
There is a guy here who claims to have the setup to do a rebuild also. They
are in Irvine or somewhere. He sold me the 500e rear subframe for my 87
wagon project.

The original differentials in the 85 wagon and the 88 560sel both started
to make progressively louder whirring sounds, so they were on their way
out. I replaced both. Wagon had about 211k on the clock and the 560 99k.
Not nearly the hundreds of thousands others seem to get.

Folks
The 2002 E320 hovercraft wagon is really screwed up now!!
We drove it around the block last night
It had been losing a quart of water in say a 50 mile trip
On the way home last night I was fooling around and stomped the accelerator
hard at about 10 mph and then made a hard left corner

Interesting, isn't it, that the asking price is more than twice what the
car sold for new..
Also, noted, is the interior shot of speedo, with 55 in red, and top speed
at much lower limit.
"from the oil embargo era" hallmarks..

Plugged injector can make loud noises.
Perhaps revving it up cleared it?
YMMV.
Sounds good now!

Although it is top end noise. Does not sound like bottom end or rod knock. Next
step pull valve covers and see and might be going on.

dialed back a bit.
Good enough for me.

I have an older 5.1 hooked into my LR TV. It drives a pair of large Advents I
bought in 1974 or so (they were reconed once), some kind of center speaker, and
a pair of rear Boston Acoustic wall-mounted forward and rear firing back

I've had one house with a surround setup, and to be honest, it wasn't that big
of a deal for me. That is, I didn't think it made the "experience" that much
better. In fairness, however, that was 15 years ago and Dolby 5.1, I think.
I have a late model receiver and TV which play nice together.
I have been using a 10 or more year old Sony receiver that does not support 4K.
I have had a 4K tv for a while but since receiver did not support that I was
really online seeing 1080. I bought a cheap Onkyo receiver that was about $500
from Amazon and have had it a while but have not hooked it
Looks decent, same spec as my GL450 with tow pkg etc, price is not too
crazy for the miles but maybe a little high

So, basically everything
for the last few years it's sitting on the driveway I started yesterday
, start without any issue, have some few New parts for suspension and
intake . AC compressor new, radiator new, AC condenser leaking,I believe
it's pipe. I change brakes and rotors two years ago,
If the car has been sitting unused and not running for some time and is a
gas car, which means the last tank was most likely ethanol fuel, the tank
will be loaded with "ethanol varnish" and the fuel system will be plugged
with it. Expect to have to do a fuel tank removal and cleaning, all
fuel
A sad state of affairs
