Yesterday I was visiting my local PnPs. First, Row52 is not as up to date on what is in the yard. Not all yards use Row52. It is so useful to have a listing of what is in the yard so you do not waste your time not finding a car when you visit.
First yard was barren. At least of Benz iron. There were a dozen on the app, but only two in the yard. And the old ones from Row52 were gone. There are three rows just waiting for new cars... but no benz in the pen. So I checked out the new to the neighborhood yard next door. Pretty lame with maybe three dozen cars en toto. I was needing a brake reservoir cap, and a few other tiny bits. No joy in those two yards, so i whip out the smart phone and load the app to see what may be new to some other yards. There was a 79 SD in the yard, as well as a 83 D. I figured the SD would have a viable transmission and maybe the little bits. They did have the cap, but some goon had destroyed the transmission by sticking something overly sharp into the bands. The injectors were still there and nobody had trashed to much under the hood. I did get the valve cover off, as well as the hard injector lines. For some reason, I did not have the 27mm socket that is always in the tool box, so I was not able to get my hands on the injectors. Having a matched set of injectors would be great, but not being able to snag the injectors, I did not need the lines. Damn yard charges too much for parts anyway. The valve cover set me back a bundle, because they charge double for aluminum over steel. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
