Hi Dwight and everybody who posed some interest. So today in the light of day I'm feeling like I got over excited yesterday... I should keep the car and put another alternator in it. I suspect that the diodes died theres a distinct smell of dead electronics. Nevertheless it'll still be under warrenty its only been like a month. I didn't pull the brushes but I'm thinking they should still be good. The car is in Gardner, MA. Its actually got a little more rust than I suggested before, theres a bit on the shroud in front of the radiator, and I fiberglassed a hole in the trunk a couple years ago that shows no sign of re-rusting. The drivers side rear door has a dent that was there when I got the car. Theres also a little surface rust here and there... Anyway Sunday I'm going to look at an '84 190D 2.2l 5spd. The guy wants $4500 which seems high, its supposed to be perfect, 150kmi. My worry right now is that I don't have anywhere to keep my 240D if I buy the 190D, but I figure I can probably work something out. -Curt Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2005 21:38:42 -0400 From: "degcoast" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] STUPID CAR!!! To: "Mercedes mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Curt, Any clues on what you think it is? I must confess I have been drooling over John Peterson's 90 300D but wife won't allow another purchase right now. Where are you located? I know someone locally here in RI who is looking for another 240. Could it just be brushes? OR maybe a bad pulley causing alternator failure? Dwight PS-what color are your mats? ******************** Dwight Giles 1979 240D auto 244k + miles Wickford, RI Bissell Cove Quahog & Auto Salvage Co. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
