having done the "oops, I got an eBay care" deal, I would advise trailer home. If you are pretty sure it is a small issue, have an indy (find a local lister to assist) go over it to make it safe to drive home. Fresh fluids and filters all around before you drive.
Issue is not a glow plug if you only have 4 working pistons. Injector problem if you have miss past the first few minutes. Once it warms up you will get fire on all five. E300D had bad #6 glow and you would have rough start, then a few blocks later it was full power again. clay 1972 220D - Gump - She is green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Cleo - Used by the Queen of Denial POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers On Jan 16, 2012, at 4:03 PM, Rick Knoble wrote: > > Okay, I accidentally bought a car off of eBay. > Don't ask how... > I got it VERY cheap and it is a rust free diesel w124 in SWMBO's favorite > color.
